Synopsis
We’re not allowed to say anything very specific at this point without revealing some of the biggest surprises of Episode II. So let’s just say that Boba Fett, the incredibly popular bounty hunter from Episode II (featuring in the massively selling SHADOW OF THE EMPIRE spin-off) is back — and he’s a kid with some major, major issues. This series will follow Boba Fett from Episode II onward — consider him the anti-Jedi apprentice.
Comments
Surprisingly graphic violence for the recommended age-range. Really, really surprising. Some kids may be bothered by the level of violence and some of the harshness of being a bounty hunter’s child. Proceed with caution.
