The War of the Bounty Hunters brings to light numerous details not only about Boba Fett’s journey to recover Han Solo, who is imprisoned in the carbonite plate, and bring him to Jabba the Hutt, but also about the intricate power games that deeply characterize each chapter and story of the saga of war of stars.
In particular, the most recently published volume showed that not only some members of the administration of the empire were aware of the real identity of Palpatine, who wanted to use Luke Skywalker to overthrow him and thus free the management of the galaxy from the dark influence of the Sith. When he heard of Solo’s disappearance Vader immediately starts chasing the pilotto get revenge for the Battle of Yavin and get close to his son Luke.
As shown in the last few chapters, Vader is deeply vulnerable, both from the tough tests he was subjected to by Palpatine and from Anakin Skywalker’s resurfaced sensitivity. Vader’s frailty is recognized by Smart moors, former Chief Administrative Assistant to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and a very important figure in the final years of the Galactic Republic.
There is a very important detail Moore knows that Palpatine is Darth Sidious, and being a skilled manipulator and mind reader, she is well aware that the Emperor intends to use his position for his own purposes only and is in the least interested in improving the Empire’s welfare. Twice then, Moore hires the IG-88 droid to kill Vader, who repels the enemy only to come face-to-face with Moore on Coruscant.
Here the diplomat and skillful user of power, manages to read Vader’s mind and discovers the connection to Luke Skywalker. Although the two have made a pact, Moore’s actions will show his total willingness to stop the Sith advance and thus block the meeting between Vader and Luke. However his plan will prove wrong, as likely given the events related to the final trilogy of films in which the First Order was formed from the remnants of the Empire, led by a Sith Lord.
In conclusion, we would like to remind you that The High Republic will return with a new threat to the Jedi Order in 2022 and we leave you to announce the Rogue One prequel manga.
