The twin suns shone in the sky of the desert planet Tatooine. Across the galaxy, people were celebrating over the Rebel Alliance's victory against the Galactic Empire. With Emperor Palpatine overthrown, people were cheerful and merry, even the people who inhabited the hive of scum and villainy that was Mos Eisley.
Away from civilization, the mouth of a sarlacc pit was in the sand. It was miles away from the palace of the now deceased Jabba the Hutt, whose remains were probably charred up in the explosion of the sail barge called Khetanna. The Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett, son and clone of the late Jango Fett, had fallen into the sarlacc pit. Boba had thought about many things as he was trapped inside of the beast. He had thought about his father, who had been killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu in an arena on another desert planet called Geonosis twenty-six years earlier. He was irritated by the fact that he, like his father, may die on a desert planet due to a malfunctioning jetpack. The device, damaged by Han Solo, would not save him now. He had tried multiple times to get it to work, but no dice. He hated the fact that he was a clone who may have been meeting his fate almost the same way as his father.
One would think that he was now unemployed since the Hutt was dead and Fett was in the sarlacc's digestive system. But no powerful bounty hunter ever gives up. If he could make it out, he would find more work to accomplish. And he would live. He would survive and make his father proud. He found his grenades to be useful.
The gloved Mandalorian gauntlet of Boba Fett grabbed onto the sand outside of the sarlacc pit. The feared bounty hunter pulled himself out from the maw of the sand beast. He was alive and infuriated by the thought of Han Solo, who had caused him to fall into the pit. He pondered whether revenge against the smuggler would be worth it. He also wondered if it would be best executed immediately or years later when Solo may have more to lose. At the moment, however, he had to focus on surviving. He was on the virge of death and needed help.
