Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters #2 (2021) continues Marvel's explosive crossover event that rewrites the fate of Han Solo between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Crafted by the ever-reliable Charles Soule, this issue raises the stakes across the galaxy, drawing in key players from every corner of the Star Wars universe—bounty hunters, syndicates, the Empire, the Rebels, and the mysterious criminal organisation Crimson Dawn.

Following the stunning cliffhanger of issue #1, where it’s revealed that Crimson Dawn has seized Solo’s carbonite-encased body, this chapter sees a rapidly intensifying race to reclaim him. Boba Fett, furious and increasingly desperate, finds himself not only robbed of his prize but caught in a rapidly expanding web of betrayals and rivalries. Meanwhile, the rest of the galaxy is only just beginning to understand that Solo is back in play—and everyone wants him.

Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Darth Vader, and Qi’ra—each enter the fray in their own way, and Soule manages to juggle these major characters with tight pacing and a deep understanding of what drives them. Qi’ra's reintroduction, following her appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story, is especially significant, as she positions Crimson Dawn to challenge even the mighty Empire.

The artwork by Luke Ross is cinematic and richly detailed, with fluid action sequences and emotionally charged close-ups that bring out the tension of every confrontation. From seedy underworld meetings to space-chases and galactic power manoeuvres, the visuals convey the chaos and scope of the storyline without losing clarity. Ross captures the likenesses of fan-favourite characters while still maintaining the bold energy unique to comics.

What makes War of the Bounty Hunters #2 stand out is its high-stakes plotting and cross-faction storytelling. It’s not just about bounty hunters anymore—it’s about control, legacy, and power. With the likes of Vader clashing ideologically and strategically with Crimson Dawn, and Leia grappling with the moral costs of war, this issue brings together drama, action, and deep character work in one potent package.
