With the ship cleared of lifeforms, the newly revived IG follows his new prime directive and contacts his new boss. RB is successful in his mission to bring the bounty hunter back online, unfortunately, IG and Lompop have no other use for him. He has been hired by Deva Lompop, who has appeared in most of these one-shots, to restore the droid and insert programming to hunt down Boba Fett.
He narrates the first half of the issue, detailing his recovery and repair process of the infamous killing machine, IG-88. RB-919 is a organic/machine hybrid who specializes in repairing. This issue is a nice arc of IG’s revival, but unfortunately is a little bloated, with a lot of what seems like filler between the plot. One-shots have tendency to be quick, forgettable adventures that end in the exact same spot they started in. These bounty hunter one-shots have been fun, if a little unnecessary at times, but one thing they do seem to be doing is setting up the bounty hunters for future plots. This issue picks up sometime after that, with IG left shut down in a scrap yard. We last saw him face off against Darth Vader, decapitated and left to rust. IG-88 has been a fan favorite since he first appeared in the iconic bounty hunter lineup of The Empire Strikes Back.
