She’s not here to catch up, as Lando has so many questions, she’s more interested in getting back on her way to Tatooine. We get a familiar reveal Boushh is Leia when she removes the helmet and reminds Lando this isn’t the first time she’s had to fight. Boushh has no problem containing Lando, who quickly tries to talk his way out of it, just like his friend Han. He’s immediately taken down, surprised as he remembers the bounty hunter not being as skillful in physical combat. Lando reaches his destination, only to discover the likely culprit who’s planned his capture. Leia reaches him on his comm and directs him where to run. The Rebels report that Lando was shot down and in desperate need of help. I’m assuming the Empire was not terribly pleased with Lando’s withdrawal from their agreement, so whatever bounties Lando may have had on his head beforehand likely went through the roof. Lando’s in trouble.īounty hunters are hot on Lando’s trail. She’s prepared to do it all herself, until the Rebel Alliance contacts the Falcon, requesting she and Chewie head to Arkanis. Leia is rummaging through Han and Chewie’s quarters and the melancholy is thick, though our general is not idly waiting for someone else to step up to rescue Han. If you don’t mind jumping into this moment without too much context, other than what most of us would naturally assume, I think your mind will go right to nostalgia city. Canonically, we know the time between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi is about a year and there’s nothing in this issue which really establishes what everyone has been up to. Leia and Chewie are on the Millennium Falcon, making their way to Tatooine, ready to rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt. The Age of Rebellion begins! SPOILERS AHEAD…. I’ve always wondered about what went into the trappings of Boushh and for the first time in canon, we have our answer with this wonderful issue. For those waiting to get in or watching at home on their devices, writer Greg Pak has an excellent story about how Leia got into character before striding into Jabba the Hutt’s palace as notorious bounty hunter Boushh and staring down the gangster with a charged thermal detonator. Marvel kicks their comics into high gear this week as anxious fans await Star Wars Celebration in Chicago.
