Love this record. Still have my copy. I remember begging my mother to buy it for me. Thanks for posting. Shame how this story has more plot and character development then the entire Sequel Trilogy
Yes, but other stories had a different character as the bounty hunter. This one was not official. Still it was a well written audio drama for young Star Wars fans.
@@donmccullen1973 not official how? Those audio releases were made directly from LFL. Or at least, LFL gave the greenlight for it. What I suspect is that whoever wrote later works didn't bother to check for earlier source material. That's the nature of retconning material. It isn't always for the better. A lot of it, like in the case of the EA Games Battlefront video games, it was laziness. Had they bothered to actually spend a little time researching stuff, they wouldn't be confusing fans over silly things like model designations of blaster rifles.

Thank you for posting this. I think I wore out the tape when I was a kid.
Got this on cassette decades ago! May still be around somewhere!

This was the incident Han was referring to (to Leia), when he said that the "bounty hunter we ran into at Ord Mantell...." in Empire Strikes Back.

@@tavrikgannon The Books are different from the Sequels that were produced.
@donmccullen1973 that's precisely my point. Nobody bothered to do the proper research to keep the continuity straight.
This is wonderful. Very relaxing&contentful. This gives me some guidance on for a FFG Star Wars TTRPG Ord Mantell. Something other than this mission.

Too bad I wasn’t there to tell em to save their money and keep base hunting 😅
I have this record somewhere. I just rememered about it and need to reexperience this story
