In this month’s Star Wars Insider, we look back at Boba Fett’s recent revival on Disney+ to get a sense of how the character grew over the course of his very own series, and we also learn how another associate of Jabba the Hutt – Salacious B. Crumb – was developed from an overnight concept sketch into a cackling court jester. Interviews include prequel concept artist Warren Fu on designing General Grievous, and Garrick Hagon, who played Luke Skywalker’s childhood pal and doomed rebel pilot Biggs Darklighter in A New Hope (1977). And to top it all, we debut brand new fiction from author George Mann, as The High Republic Phase II begins. That’s what we call a bounty!
