There is an omnibus of this entire series, its wicked. Its like atleast 900 pages and so heavy to hold! I got it as a gift at xmas from my gf! Best Star Wars story ever! Even tells it in order of the comics and includes every WOTBH related content

[@FATE522]

I'll always hold Shadows of the Empire with a special place in my heart as an alternate reality, but I'm impressed with Disney's take on Star Wars maintaining continuity really well for showing us what happened in some events between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

4:32 A Hutt with abs like that just feels wrong, but I'm down

[@Iceskyguy]

I'm going to binge read all of these comics now that they're all out. I've kept up with the basics of the story but I want to experience it fully for myself, there are a couple of bits I find really interesting like everything with Qi'ra and the Hutt Council. I wonder if any of this will be relevant in The Book of Boba Fett. Looking forward to Crimson Reign and learning what Qi'ra's grand plan is. Hopefully we'll see her again on screen because she's a really interesting character. Also, that liveaction version of her in the comics with that outfit is awesome, it's so good so whoever put that together, a round of applause for you!

[@JBTriple8]

same here yeah cant wait to get the omnibus

[@Hucklefart_Dinklejartin]

I love how they expanded on Zuckuss, Dengar, 4-Lom, Boskk, and IG-88

[@IkeRetsam]

I wonder if Qi’ra is responsible for leaving Maul on Malachor. 🤔 Random thought I had while listening to this. Not sure if that’s been mentioned much, but I doubt I’m the first to suggest it.

[@CouncilCape897]

It's possible, though the Hutts point out in this story that Crimson Dawn hasn't made any moves in years, and Qi'ra mentions at the auction that many might only know of Crimson Dawn by reputation. Which heavily implies that Maul's disappearance was indeed an unexpected accident that lead to CD collapsing because a successor hadn't been formally named and acknowledged. If Qi'ra had indeed planned to betray Maul and take control of Crimson Dawn beforehand, it's unlikely she would've had such a hard time keeping CD together. Losing Maul would've been a minor temporary setback at worst rather than the heavy blow that it turned out to be, had she planned this. And I could be wrong, but I think I remember Maul specifically saying in Rebels that his ship *crashed* on Malachor in his search of the Sith battle station buried underneath. He didn't say anything about someone leaving him stranded there. I know that this was before Qi'ra was created and that she could be retconned into the story as her leaving him there because she knew she could never outright kill him on her own. But it's unlikely that Maul wouldn't have mentioned being betrayed by someone at all or made it a priority to hunt Qi'ra down like he did to Obi-Wan once he left Malachor. He does love to monologue about getting revenge on his enemies, after all. Then again, you could be right. No one in the public galaxy outside of Dryden Vos and Qi'ra are shown to know that Maul was the actual leader of Crimson Dawn behind the scenes. Even Lando, who knew them both well, believed that Dryden was the leader until he started to consider the possibility that maybe Dryden was also a puppet in this story. So it's possible that Qi'ra could've taken advantage of Maul's anonymity to make him disappear without anyone missing him.

[@IkeRetsam]

@@CouncilCape897 Those are all excellent points. I think you’re right, he probably does say he crashed now that I think about it. Though, it has been awhile since I’ve seen the S2 finale. I do kinda doubt Maul would just say he crashed if someone was responsible for abandoning him, unless it was done without his knowledge - which I admit is highly unlikely.

[@soonerthrawn1362]

I think sidiious is one who left maul and when we get a animated maul show we will see it happen.

[@IkeRetsam]

@@soonerthrawn1362 Maybe, but I see that as far less likely. Sidious wouldn’t just abandon him. He’d want to toy with him, and ultimately kill him. It’s not really in Sidious’ character to just leave him there.

[@CheeseRunner]

Small inconsistency I noticed in the last frame with Qi'ra and her allies. Amongst them are indeed some of the Knights of Ren, Ren does not yet have any burns and while I don't know for sure when this comic ended in the timeline, this does conclude it was before the Knights encountered Luke. The inconsistency being that Vicrul is seen amongt the others holding his signature Scyte. A weapon he did not possess until after the Knights met Luke, as they were all carrying different weapons at that time.

[@bullrun2772]

[@Blazecap]

With you covering the timeline of the War of the Bounty Hunters series brings, the comics between Empire and Jedi to an end. Do you think they will start a comic series that covers the 30 years between the original and sequel trilogy? This maybe way to long for an ongoing volume. I know there are books and a few short run comics have covered somethings. I just really want Doctor Aphra to continue.

[@marinvracevic]

[@ljphoenix4341]

@@marinvracevic Boba Fett and Cad Bane are the best bounty hunters equally I say. But it really depends on what time they meet, as both are at the peak of their bounty hunting days in different times. Cad would be during The Clone Wars/Revenge of the Sith era, while Boba would be around Episodes 4-6. Some could argue that Boba would be even more powerful around the time of The Mandalorian, or even the upcoming Book of Boba Fett series on Disney +, but is he actually still a bounty hunter at that time? It's difficult to choose Bane or Boba. There are valid arguments for both characters.
