You have machines now too. And you know every grain of sand in the Dune Sea.

You now travel under the protection of the Tuskens. No harm will come of you.

You shouldn’t have to hide. You are warriors.

These sands are no longer free for you to pass. These people lay ancestral claim to the Dune Sea, and if you are to pass, a toll is to be paid to them. Any death dealt from the passing freighters will be returned ten-fold. Now go back to your syndicate and present these terms. Your lives are a gesture of our civility. Now walk. Single file, in the direction of the high sun. It will lead you to Anchorhead by sunset if you leave now.

Stop the train!

Like that. This is not looking good for you.

That depends on how you answer what I’m about to ask. Are you carrying spice?

Sansanna spice from the slave mines on Kessel.

Who’s the leader?

Riders, ready? To the train!

Riders to the bikes! Warn the others!

The train goes faster than this. You want to see how fast the train goes?

Come, come. When train comes, need you to help signal with this.

Jump to me. Jump!

Okay, this makes it go. This makes it stop. Go. Stop. Like a bantha. Yes? Maybe not. Okay, who wants to go first? Sit. Okay, go, stop.

A gift for you.

Huh! Whoa, stop, stop, no! No! Stop! Whoa! These are mine! These are mine, stop! These are mine. I will teach you how to ride. I will teach you. This is how we will stop the train.

I will stop the train.

I am holding it the same.

I will stop them. I will take rifle and stick. Be back by morning.

Show me.

Your cousin Jabba is dead. His cowardly Majordomo usurped his territory and then I killed him. All that is his belongs to me now. Your sister is right. If you want it, you’ll have to kill me for it.

You can bring as many gladiators as you wish but these are not the death pits of Duur and I am not a sleeping Trandoshan guard.

Maybe it’s settled.

This is my territory.

This territory is mine. Go back to Nal Hutta.

I don’t care what your tablet says. This is Mos Espa and I am Daimyo here.

The Twins are preoccupied with the debauchery of Hutta to bother with any ambitions on Tatooine.

Watch my back.

Heard what?

Mayor Mok Shaiz sent me here as thought there’s something I should know. Now you’re sweating like a gumpta on Mustafar.

What’s going on here?

I am not a fool, Mok Shaiz. And those who thought otherwise no longer draw breath.

You should remember, you seve as long as the Daimyo of Tatooine deem it so.

Is that it?

Yes. And now it is mine. And I will take this payment as what you should have brought me as tribute.

You can run. But you’ll only die tired.

Mama Fett didn’t raise any fools. Strictly speaking, my mama was a birthing pod, but you get the point.

Tomorrow I’ll collect another bounty and you’ll be dead.

Everyone dies… but since no one has paid me to kill you… sleep well.

You have a lot to learn. Unfortunately for you, your time for learning is over.

Boba Fett isn’t available.

You are foolish to waste your kindness on this dumb creature. No lower life form is worth going hungry for, friend.

We will give you each a black melon. You will survive on its milk as these people do. Now go.

If you do not know who I am, then why did you send this man to assassinate me.

We spared your life after you tried to take mine. And you curse me? What do we even know of this prisoner?

Assassin for hire.

I know of their reputation. They’re just people… in hoods.

I am Boba Fett. I’m here to see the Mayor.

I found one of his stray pets. I’m here to return it to its master.

You know damn well who.

Ah! Then you admit it.

Bib Fortuna was not my employer.

I am not a bounty hunter.

Power hates a vacuum.

It was worth a shot.

Hey, mate. Looks like you could use a job.

I can’t abandon Mos Espa. These people are counting on me.

I may sit on that throne. But I have no designs on any of your territories. I ask for no tribute or quarter, and I

Or?

Easy, boy. Easy. Think he’s a little hungry. Please. Sit.

You sure you wanna stay?

Why speak of conflict when cooperation can make us all rich?

Very well. Give me your tablet. I will write out my statement and what I am willing to pay.

I am proposing that all the families of Mos Espa join in a defensive alliance until the Pyke Syndicate is vanquished.

They just keep coming.

Then I will fight these battles alone. I will vanquish these interlopers who threaten our planet. I will make the streets safe again. So all

Get to it.

I trust them to work in their own self-interest. My deal is a lot better than what the Syndicate would offer. They may be stubborn,

Now go before I change my mind.

I have plenty of credits. What I’m short on is muscle.

You all right?

We are at war.

Save it for the Pykes.

Free?

Welcome back, Santo. I have to confess I thought you were gone. I owe you a nice long soak in the bacta tank when this

Even if we win, there might not be anything left of this city.

Run! We’ll distract them.

I agree to their terms.

Cover me!

Let the people of Freetown know they have my word.

These two will destroy the whole city!

In the long run, it is better for us as well. Mos Espa can become a prosperous city under our protection. Spice is killing our

Move!

You are confident he will come?

Can you protect the others?

Is that so?

Watch out!

Well, if he does not, we are doomed. Our skill is no match for the Syndicate numbers. We must buy time until they arrive. We’ll

We need reinforcements.

And where do you propose we wait for reinforcements?

Do it.

Here? In these ruins? Nonsense. The palace offers greater protection.

Clear out and take your hoodlum gang with you.

We’ll stay.

This is my city. These are my people. I will not abandon them.

For now?

Don’t toy with me. I’m not a little boy any longer, and you are an old man.

I thought you said nobody could sneak up on us.

That may be, but I have armor.

I thought I smelled something. If you’re looking for a job, you’re late.

It’s being used.

I don’t negotiate with gutless murderers.

Why does it have to be the right arm?

Clear out. And tell your bosses we know they’re outnumbered.

Thank you.

He killed Vanth. The reinforcements aren’t coming.

Why must everyone bow at me?

I will only negotiate with the head of the Pyke Syndicate.

Are those my only two choices?

I can take him.

We are not suited for this.

We all do.

Who sent you?

Tell your client negotiations are terminated.

What were your orders?

Have the Pykes arrived?

Speak, prisoner.

I wonder how much he would pay for the Twi’lek.

Well, if he’s not gonna speak, he no longer needs his head.

So did I.

It’s a coordinated attack. We’ll have to gather our people.

Santo! Santo, come in!

Does the Pyke Syndicate still operate out of Mos Eisley?

It was just a matter of time. Is Cad Bane with them?

Can you do that? Can you get there in time?

Those take longer. Anything from the Mayor’s Majordomo? Is he cooperating?

It was. I suppose you’ll be heading out.

My armor, quickly.

Would be a miracle if any survived. All three gotras of Mos Espa turned on us.

I should still show my face in town.

You should.

You really buy into that bantha fodder?

Good.

No. It’s made me strong. You can only get so far without a tribe.

Loyalty. I will cut you in on the success and pledge my life to protect yours.

It’s time. It’s time to say farewell, my friend. You served me well. Yes, I know. I know I’m gonna miss you, too, old girl.

Why? Either I get it or I die. Soon you’ll be free, too.

I’m gonna find my armor. Then I’m gonna kill that bloated pig who double crossed me. Take his throne.

Next time don’t touch my buttons.

I can’t tell. The gate opens, some come out, some go in.

I’m tired of working for idiots who are gonna get me killed. The Tuskens took me in. Made me part of their tribe. I was

Why not?

No one sounded the alarm.

There she is.

We’ll slip past the guards.

There are too many guards.

Where’d you go? Got ya.

Quick little bugger.

Let’s go.

Damn it. I can’t see a thing.

Guns are jammed. I can’t get a shot.

We need to get the gate open but I can’t see a thing!

Next time?

She’s in good shape. Just a little rusty.

I hope you know what you’re doing.

The Sarlacc Pit. That’s where I was trapped all those years ago. That’s where I’ll find my armor.

I’ll do the maintenance myself. There’s an advantage to people thinking you’re dead. Now your debt is paid. Where would you like to be dropped?

Not beskar.

I have a few scores to settle.

Nothing. All junk.

Hang on.

Come on. Come on. Come on, let’s move it. Move. Get down there. Get down.

Yeah. My armor’s not down there.

Scurrier?

How many times have you been hired to do a job that was avoidable? If they only took the time to think. How much money

I’m tired of our kind dying because of the idiocy of others. We’re smarter than them. It’s time we took our shot.

I can offer you something no client ever has.

Yes. If I’m gonna start a house, I need brains and muscle. You have both.

Because I might not like the answer. Without my armor, I’m less pursuasive.

If that is what you wish.

I have to send a message.

Well, this is the first I’m hearing of it.

These are Hutts. Waiting will only give them another opportunity to strike again.

What?

Say your piece.

Go on.

Clear off Tatooine and I will consider a truce.

And your inventory is water?

Promised by who?

I grew up surrounded by water.

And what of the Hutts?

And what is this gang?

Release him.

Where’d you get that water?

Here is your prisoner. I offer him back if you renounce all claims to Jabba’s legacy on Tatooine.

That’s a crime.

I have no reason to believe them. They would benefit from their enemies fighting one another.

Then farm your own water.

Either that or kill him.

Watch your tongue. I’m the Daimyo of this district and I will bring order.

This beast can feel such things?

You live in the Worker’s District. You all should be working.

Why does it just lie there?

Then you will work for me. You got guts, I’ll give you that. You better fight as good as you talk dank.

Why does it wear blinders?

For water?

Whoa, easy. Easy, boy. That’s it. I think it likes this.

What do they owe you?

Can I?

I will spend more time with it.

My name is Boba Fett.

No hard feelings. It’s just business. Take it from an ex-bounty hunter, don’t work for scugholes. It’s not worth it.

I thought they were bred just to fight.

I want to learn to ride this one.

I want to ride it. I’ve ridden beasts ten times its size. Teach me.

Easy, boy. Easy. Is this the spot? Oh, yes. You like this.

We begin today. Here you go. What are we gonna call you? Yes.

Feed the rancor, a full ronto carcass from the larder. I think it’s hungry.

Not now. I’m busy.

That was a bit heavy-handed, don’t you think?

Tell Fennec to suit up. We’re not waiting for an appointment.

Did he just lock the door?

Is he?

We’re here to see the Mayor. We have a few questions for him.

Where is he?

How many?

Not today, old girl. Still too many guards. Let’s get something to eat.

Good work. Keep an eye on them. Sorry, it’s an expression.

Then we will be ready.

She needs modification.

Here you go. Enjoy.

This woman is about to die.

Aren’t you gonna close her up?

Drink.

You were dying of a gut shot. I saved your life.

Take the black melon. It will help you recover. It takes some getting used to. With time you start to crave it.

I brought you to a mod-parlor on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. It was the best I could do under the circumstances.

You are Master Assassin Fennec Shand of the Mid Rim.

I heard you the first time. Take the 500 and consider it resolved, if you want to continue to do business in my territory. If

You are.

Give him five hundred.

Do you know who I am? I am Boba Fett.

Hey. Where do the Pykes do their business in Mos Eisley?

I don’t want money.

He’s dead. He can’t hurt you.

And cut your prices. The rest of you, gather up your gak, follow me.

I was… left for dead on the sands of Tatooine. Like you. I was rescued by the Sand People. They took me in, treated me

You can say ‘Jabba.’

You received my message?

I want you to help me. Help me recover my Firespray gunship.

Why would I feel insulted?

I have business with the Pyke Syndicate.

Jabba the Hutt’s palace.

Well, now I am insulted.

We are one party. I’m collecting on behalf of the Tuskens of the Dune Sea.

Where does that leave us now?
