Star Wars teases a bounty hunter even better than Boba Fett.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning! This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #39 Boba Fett has long held the title of Star Wars’ deadliest bounty hunter - even if that’s mainly just one old-school fans have assigned him - but now, there’s a new ‘killing machine’ that’s effectively usurped Boba’s position.
This supposed ultimate bounty hunter is named Beilert Valance, a cyborg and the lead character of the ongoing comic series Star Wars: Bounty Hunters. While that series is pretty recent, Valance is actually a character who connects all the way back to the classic Marvel Comics Star Wars comic series of the 1970s. In fact, Valance made his debut appearance in 1978’s Star Wars #16 as Valance the Hunter, an ongoing antagonist charged with tracking down Luke Skywalker.
Star Wars’ Valance Just Became A Better Bounty Hunter Than Boba Fett In a preview for Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #39 by Ethan Sacks and Davide Tinto, Valance and his crew of galaxy-class bounty hunters meet someone who they were told could fix the issues Valance has been having with his cybernetic circuitry. Instead of fixing him, however, this villain-in-disguise removed what remained of Valance’s humanity.
Before being turned into a literal killing machine, Valance and Boba Fett actually went on a few missions together, where their comparative skills were put on full display more than once. During each mission, it was clear that the two were more-or-less equally matched, though Boba Fett did have some key advantages over Valance, including and especially when it came to Valance’s conscience.
Not only are Valance’s inhibitions completely gone, but the ‘cyborg expert’ the bounty hunters went to also gave him other general upgrades, making him stronger, faster, and smarter than his human form could have ever been. While fans haven’t yet seen this new-and-improved Beilert Valance in action quite yet, they’ll soon learn that this classic Star Wars antihero is the galaxy’s new greatest bounty hunter - sorry Boba Fett.
