CT Han and Chew on the run from ....?

Any guesses of what bounty hunter was pursing Han & Chewie as mentioned in ESB. That romance slash row with Leia and he brings up a bounty hunter on their tail. Which one of the bounty hunters we later see on Darth Vaders ship was the guy going after them.

 

What is a "slash row"?

 

Must you trouble me with such minute details.

 

The bounty hunter on Ord Mantell... I always just assumed they "dealt with him/her"

 

I googled it before I asked, and yes I must. Knowledge is my #1 goal.

 

It's called clarifying what you said. Now everyone understands 'slash row'.

 

Here is a link to the original and somewhat "official" Rebel Mission to Ord Mantell audio drama: http://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Mission-To-Ord-Mantell/product-reviews/B0035QYELW

Shame to admit, I have that vinyl record but never listened to it. Judging by the reviews the name of the bounty hunter was apparently not mentioned, so it appears to be none of our "usual suspects"

 

I would guess that this was the comic the audio drama was based on:

EDIT: Apparently not - it's in 3ABY whereas the Skorr incident (comic) was in 0ABY:

It was also addressed for about about one page in the Marvel comics. It's in issue 37 ("In Mortal Combat"), the last issue of a very interesting arc with Luke facing Vader pre-TESB. Re: Han, though, you'll have to be familiar with several earlier issues to know exactly why the bounty hunter showed up.

And, no, I didn't know that right off the top of my head. I had to double-check.

 

Slash row sounds like the end result of equipment and walls after one of Kylo Ren's temper tantrums.

 

Slash Row sounds like the name Kylo's totally awesome band sticking it to the man, man. It sounds like a bunch of screaming but really it's like totally deep. You just DON'T GET IT.

 

Slash Row? EXELLENT!!! *cue air guitars*

 

I keep thinking ‘Saints Row’ for some reason.

Great, now I've got this in my head:

BOSS: Shaundi never told you what happened to your father!

PIERCE: She told me enough! She told me you killed him.

BOSS: No... I am your father!

PIERCE: NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

You may be giving a future band a great idea.

 

I mean really, who here amongst hasn't secretly been thinking to themselves that what Episode 8 really needs is a death metal soundtrack, am I right? Right...? Don't leave me hanging guys...
