RB is successful in its mission to bring the bounty hunter back online, unfortunately IG and Lompop have no other use for him.Īfter the ship is freed of life forms, the revitalized IG follows its new main directive and contacts its new boss. He was hired by Deva Lompop, who featured in most of these one-shots, to restore the droid and put in programming to hunt down Boba Fett. He narrates the first half of the issue and describes his process of restoring and repairing the infamous IG-88 killing machine. RB-919 is a bio-machine hybrid that specializes in repairs. This edition is a nice arc of IG’s revival, but unfortunately it’s a little bloated, with a lot of what looks like a filler between the plot. One-shots tend to be quick, forgetful adventures that end exactly where they started. These bounty hunter one-shots were fun, if a little unnecessary at times, but they seem to set the bounty hunters up for future plans. This problem picks up sometime after when IG was shut down in a junkyard. We last saw him face Darth Vader, beheaded and left to rust. IG-88 has been a fan favorite since first appearing on the iconic Bounty Hunter lineup of. As the War of the Bounty Hunters Crossover comes to its final editions, the final in the series of Bounty Hunter One-Shots.
