Lit Comics War of the Bounty Hunters - Boba Fett Crossover Comic

Spoiler

Do we think the girl with clone armor is hinted at Omega. Like i don't think anyone think she die in Bad Batch. Kinda similar like Hera been in a future story while Rebels still airing.

 

Spoiler

I personally think they wouldn't want to reveal that Omega survives past ESB before Bad Batch has ended. So it is probably someone else, though I would love it if I'm wrong. I honestly don't see them killing her off in Bad Batch anyway. But showing her at a later point in the timeline before the series has wrapped up, would go against what we've seen from the storystelling so far. The women in the clone armour, whoever she is, definetely seems like an intriguing character though

 

Spoiler

So what sickos want to kill off Omega?

More widely, if your story is reliant on threat of death to generate jeopardy, you need a better story.

 

Spoiler

with more content coning in 2022 and beyond i think Omega appearing in other content besides Bad Batch is very likley. I think a good 4-5 seasons arc with Omega and her brothers as they must guide trough the changing Galaxy. I think her other appearanxe is in comics post ESB or in Mandalorian tv shows.

 

Spoiler

I don't think it's the thread of death specificely and rather keeping her fate vague, until her arc in the show ended. Because whatever we see her doing in the future to a certain degree at least predetermines where the show has to leave her at the end of it. For example if Ezra had showed up in post ESB material while Rebels was still running, the end of Rebels would have been kind of problematic. Though maybe they also have a roadmap for Omega already and are fine with her getting used in future material. I just wouldn't be so confident about it and don't think people should get their expectations up. But like I said, I personally wouldn't mind it, if they know where her story leads then go for it

 

There is that aspect but, depending on how they do it, it can be spun as an untold story for later with limited impact on creative latitude.

 

Spoiler

If it was Omega, surely they would have made a bigger deal of it? Rather than having her be just one in a lineup of many (mostly) obscure characters? Unless they're trying to be deliberately vague in case the Bad Batch team/Lucasfilm decides that they don't want her to appear in the comics, in which case they can just swap her out for a random woman who happens to be in possession of clone armour.

 

I was thinking that this issue really needed to be 2 issues, however, considering the tie-in issues flesh out the side moments in the mainline book I'm sure I'll get some more context in the spin-off issues especially Vader/ Star Wars & Bounty Hunters. there is a lot that happens here right quickly. I did however appreciate that

Spoiler

Qi'Ra wanted to return Han to his loved ones, but it wasn't her primary objective. Still it shows she does love him deep down.

Piett literally tattle tales on Vader and makes him stop. Okay sure why not, Vader would follow his Master's orders. Bit anticlimactic but I can deal.

So Boba can survive in the vacuum of space and fly after frozen Solo? and Carbonite Han can survive a crash down to the surface of a planet from orbit and not smash in half? Tough stuff, that carbonite!

Still badass Boba Fett is badass and ties all the way back to the Alpha issue where Badass Boba Fett is badass. So I can dig ending on just a splash panel of "Pay me."

 

Spoiler

I mean, Vader said not to interrupt him with anything less than a direct order from the Emperor. Piett was operating well within his instructions.
