The aftermath of a visit to a strange planet by some of our favorite bounty hunters.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The hatch of Slave I couldn't close fast enough for Boba Fett. The nav-computer had malfunctioned dumping him, Bossk and Dengar in orbit of a strange, primitive planet.
They decided to check the planet out while the nav-computer figured out where they were and set course, properly, for Coreilla.
In the course of their research they learned that the planet was celebrating some holiday where the human like inhabitants wore costumes so they hid Slave I and they all headed to the large population center that was within walking distance.
Boba himself had been complimented more times than he could count for having such a great Boba Fett costume while people raved that Bossk looked just like a Trandoshan and asked him how he did it. Dengar was lucky since he was asked who he was supposed to be.
To add to all the confusion they had seen adults, adolescents and children of all dressed as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Imperial Officers, Clone and Storm Troopers, the Emperor, Darth Vader, pilots, Ewoks, Wookiees, Jawas, Tusken Raiders, Senators from the Old Republic, some dressed as him and many more.
What was weird was that those dressed as Princess Leia were dressed differently, some were wearing a white dress with the hair down in twists over the ears while others were wearing something similar to what the princess was wearing on Bespin and a few were dressed in the outfit she had worn chained to Jabba the Hutt.
Several of the adults had commented on his 'costume' and one marveled on how he did he find the time to make such a realistic Boba Fett costume and asked if he was with the 501st. To add to the oddness a few had guessed to Bossk and Dengar's identity and asked what 501st group they were a part of.
They had returned to Slave I not long after that.
"Let's get out of here and leave this crazy planet behind!" Boba snapped as he headed for the cockpit.
"I'm with you on that one mate." Dengar said. "I've never seen anything like it and hope I never will."
'Letss get going then." Bossk said.
Boba strapped himself in and started the takeoff sequence. A few moments later they broke through the atmosphere; destroying some random pieces of junk in orbit in the process.
"Hello Hyperspace!" Boba said as the nav-computer chimed that it was more than ready to leave the sorry planet behind.
"I vote we don't mention this planet to anybody." Dengar commented after they entered Hyperspace.
"I second that." Boba said, "We can't have anybody getting inflated ideas about themselves."
Bossk just made a noise of agreement.

Meanwhile on Earth at different space agencies around the world scientists were puzzling over some odd readings.
