Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red #2 Review
A New Setting on Meddan
The second issue of Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White and Red takes us to Meddan, a planet new to the Star Wars universe. Meddan resembles other densely populated worlds like Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa, filled with shady characters and underworld activity.
Boba Fett’s Relentless Pursuit
Boba Fett remains one of the galaxy’s most determined bounty hunters, unstoppable by credits, rivalries, or other hunters. His current target is Samu Mavolak, known for being extremely elusive. Owing money to many and skilled in escape, Samu even managed to briefly outsmart Boba Fett before his trick was uncovered.
A Rare Glimpse of Humanity
Despite his formidable reputation, Boba Fett shows humanity toward his quarry, adding a subtle depth to the story. This moment gave the narrative a different tone, almost evoking the feeling of a tale about Din Djarin, another iconic hunter.
About Samu Mavolak
Samu Mavolak is a Zeltron, a humanoid species recognized for their distinctive red skin.
“Boba Fett might be incredibly dangerous, but he’s not a monster.”
This issue blends familiar bounty hunting themes with nuanced character interactions, making it feel like a momentary departure from typical stories in the series.
Author’s Summary
The issue offers a fresh setting and a rare humane touch to Boba Fett’s relentless hunt, though it ultimately reads like a typical filler episode in the series.
