Diary of Zuckuss Part VI: Why I SO TOTALLY Hate Boba Fett

Hey everyone, Zuckuss here again...

Okay, so, I used to kind of hate Boba Fett... but now I TOTALLY hate him. He is the meanest, most jerk-faced bounty hunter, even worse than Bossk. He sucks Gundark eggs!

Why? Why do you hate him so much Zuckuss??? Okay, diary, try THIS on for size.

So, last Friday I was like wanting to see that holodvid about Reginald Barkbone... Pirates of the Fire Rings of Fornax III. I rented the flick, made some popcorn, and called up Boba.

Me: "Wassssssuupp!"
Boba: "Who is this?"
Me: "Wassup, dude!"
Boba: "Seriously, who is this?"
Me: "Zuckizizuzzz"
(This is how my favorite singer, Snoop Snootles always mizzixes up his wizzords. It's hilarious!)

Boba hung up. He sounded kinda cranky. So I called him back.

Me: "Yo, it's Zuckuss."
Boba: "What do you want?"
Me: "I got Barkbone 3, mando boy! Cmon over! Got Corellian ales and popcorn!"
Boba: "Who else is coming?"
Me: "Nobody, dikut! Just you and me, man!"
Boba: "I..... um. I can't."
Me: "Cmmmon, akk dawg."
Boba: "I've... I've got hive flu."
Me: "Eww. Sounds gross. What is it?"
Boba: "Mandalorian chickenpox."
Me: "Okay well... You're missing out. Anyway, hope you feel better."
Boba: "Yeah. Uh [cough cough], think I'll just go to bed."


So far, so good, right? Sounds like he's got a pretty bad cold.

Well, then MONDAY MORNING, Dengar sends this over the holonet:

From: Dengar
To: Bounty Hunterz
Subj: Friday Night

OMG, You GUYS! DUDE! We had such a blast at Vader's party on Friday. SO AWEZUZM>!! BUT LOOK! Here's BOba Doing the "Walk of Cool". Way to go, Fetty. YOO DAMAN!



Friday night??? When he supposed to be SICK IN BED?!!!

HATE YOU, BOBA FETT. HATE U 4EVER!

Boba is really sweet

Jango and son

We all remember the 70s Sanford and Son sitcom...Well some of us do. This is no sitcom, great art and story arc. The only way Sanford and son could come close to touching this would be is Fred decided to shoot Esther instead of faining a heart attack while Lamont yells.."get her dad"

Fan Creates New Bounty Hunter Sülphurr Cyander

TCW UK Comic Teases A Future Episode

Posted By Mike on September 16, 2010


Our friend Ewan from SWBooks.co.uk sent over the following, mildly-spoilerish, teaser for episode 7 of Season 3 of The Clone Wars. The teaser comes courtesy of the UK TCW comic. Check out his e-mail below, which also includes news of the design a bounty hunter contest winner.


"I don't know if this information has been released before but the latest edition (Volume 6, issue 12 - on sale from Thursday 16th Sept.) of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Comic from Titan Comics in the UK has revealed that Episode 7 of Season 3 is titled "Assassin" and gives the following teaser:

"Ahsoka tracks down Aurra Sing in episode 3.07 ASSASSIN. Wait, didn't Aurra die in a starship crash? What does Ahsoka's mission have to do with her prophetic dreams?"


-End orignal post-

You may also remember awhile back that Titan Comics had a competition to design a bounty hunter and it would appear in a TCW comic story. They have announced the winner:  Benjamin Dawe from Canterbury, Kent, UK  who created Sülphurr Cyander (left). While Sülphurr Cyander will be making a full appearance in an
upcoming comic (thus becoming canon and which should be republished in the US eventually in an upcoming edition of TCW Magazine), in this edition's story, The Professional, by Tom DeFalco (art by Andres Ponce), Sülphurr Cyander makes a cameo appearance in the story's second panel (circled right)."
Pretty neat to see how fans can make a huge impact in this sandbox we call Star Wars!

Introducing Eduardo Bane

Eduardo is not a bounty hunter but he is family (2nd cousin twice removed). He's not as rugged as I am, but he handles himself alright. More con-duros than gunslinger, he bounces from odd job to odd job always looking for the quick buck. On this particular weekend he was hired to guard these poles you see here located in Jabba's palace.(Jabba owed me a favor)

Good Job Eduardo!
