The blocky collectibles were first revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2016 with their first line of DC Comics superhero and villain figures sets including The Joker, Doctor Strange and Black Panther, Superman and Wonder Woman, and Captain America and Iron Man. With the excitement over the upcoming Star Wars films like The Last Jedi and the untitled Han Solo movie, it’s no surprise that LEGO has unveiled a new BrickHeadz set featuring two of our favorite characters in classic scenes from the original trilogy. As a bargaining chip with Jabba or the Wookies, for example.Related: Millennium Falcon First Look - LEGO’s Biggest Set Ever If Vader had just demanded all of that from the beginning, there is little chance Lando would have gone for it, he might have fought back from the start.Īnd for all we know, Vader might have given Chewie to Fett after they left (if Lando had handed them over). Which triggers Lando to rebel, but only after Vader's plans are mostly complete. Finally Vader demands Lando hand over the last two. Next it is Leia and Chewbacca have to stay in Cloud City. Then he 'decides' to freeze Han to test the industrial carbonite chamber, and give him to Fett. Rather than simply showing up and demanding Lando help him capture Luke, turn over his two friends and the princess, Vader first uses the latter three as bait with no other cost. Vader backs off the deal with Lando step by step. Vader (threateningly): Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly? Lando: That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter. Vader: They must never again leave this city. When Vader later talks about freezing Han and giving him to Fett, we get this Lando's deal was initially to use Han and co as bait for Luke. And, most egregiously, the poster says bringing Solo back dead would be fine-which Boba Fett specifically states is not the case in The Empire Strikes Back: "He's no good to me dead." Moreover, it seems extremely unlikely that anyone had considered the possibility that Han Solo would be brought back to Tatooine frozen in carbonite. I doubt that, even on the relative fringes of the Galactic Empire, private bounties were openly posted for Imperial law enforcement to see. *This wanted poster is presumably a joke and not meant to be a literal in-universe document, for any number of obvious reasons. However, Vader has probably already paid out an amount comparable to how much Boba Fett expects to collect from Jabba-leaving the bounty on Chewie as little more than chump change.
The viewing audience does not get to see all of the discussions between Boba Fett and Darth Vader, about how much the bounty hunter gets and who he is allowed to take into his own custody. Even before he takes Han away, Boba Fett has already been paid by the Empire for locating the Millennium Falcon on Bespin. Moreover, the bounty from Jabba is not the only reward Boba Fett received. The source for the number is apparently Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know. This wanted poster shows a specific bounty of almost ten times the 25,000 figure for Solo.* From Return of the Jedi, it appears that the announced reward for bringing Chewbacca in was 25,000 (although that was also evidently negotiable-at least for Jabba's kind of scum). So why does Boba Fett only take one of the two back to Jabba the Hutt? I think our conclusion then-and it's still the best explanation today-was that the bounty for Solo was so much larger than the one for Chewbacca that taking the wookiee along was probably not worth the extra cash.Īuthors of later extended universe material (who may have had this very issue in mind), have indeed placed the bounty on Han much higher than the one on Chewie. We inferred that there was probably a bounty on Chewie as well as Han, even before that was explicitly confirmed in Episode VI. I actually remember discussing this in the interval between the releases of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
