Karlattzo (The Duel)

Boba Fett is hired by the Devaronian, Yootz Wache to kill assassin Tylason Kayo. Fett leaves Kayo to die in the Dune Sea. Years later, the albino assassin returns and challenges Fett to karlatzzo; a duel. Hence the title of the story, "Karlatzzo (The Duel)".

Daniel Luc Sullivan weaves a pretty good tale. The problem is, he packs to much interesting ideas into to short a story. If he had stretched it out a few more pages, "Karlatzzo" would have been a far stronger offering.

On the other hand, Sullivan does a good job of keeping our favourite bounty hunter in character. And he mentions a lot of Fett's previous bounties, such as Nivek'Yppiks, Bar-Kooda, Feldrall Okor and Han Solo. This helps readers believe that the story is really happening in the STAR WARS Universe.

I did have trouble believing that Fett would just leave Kayo to die in the Dune Sea, without making sure he was really dead. It was the one time in this story that the bounty hunter slipped out of character. But hey, I guess everybody has a bad day once in awhile.

If you are looking for some light reading, this is the story for you. Sullivan doesn't spend a lot of time over-describing things, he just goes straight to the action. And he manages to pull it off.

Almost.

People will swing either way with this story; some will love it, while others will hate it.

In my opinion, it's a least worth a look.

So look, already.
