| Boba Fett 5: A New Threat / Elizabeth Hand : 3 of 5 | |

 The "young Boba Fett" series timeline is now around two years past the events in Attack of the Clones, so Boba is pretty well established as Jabba's favorite bounty hunter (even though he's still young). This book ties in closely with the Clone Wars, since Jabba has been secretly asked by the Republic (the "good guys", who eventually become the Empire) to take out a Separatist bad guy, and he gives Boba the job. The action takes place on a really interesting planet (kind of a mushroom world) right in the middle of a big clone/droid battle, and includes a cameo from General Grievous, who is a major character in the next Star Wars movie. The best part of the book is when Boba has to fight clones, who are all essentially his dad (he hears his dad's voice, sees his dad's mannerisms, and so on)! There are a few incidences of Boba being a "nice guy", which still seems kind of strange to me, but I guess it's necessary since he's the hero of these stories. Unfortunately, most of the narrative takes place in Boba's head, which is OK, but not as fascinating as when Boba interacts with other characters. The ending is a total cliffhanger, so the next volume better come out soon!
