The wait is over. Boba Fett has finally sold his talents out as a new crew upgrade in X-Wing. He will change the game up with what he can do, come see!

Guess who’s back from the Sarlacc!

Just like the cold and calculating bounty hunter himself, Boba Fett makes sure that his opponents will have every disadvantage as he takes them down. His crew card was designed by the current X-Wing World Champion Paul Heaver, perhaps in a response to the multitude of game changing upgrades that seem to see constant use.

Boba Fett can choose an enemy’s upgrade card and discard it from the game! Bye bye Twin Laser Turret! Push the Limit on Soontir Fel? Not anymore.

Emperor Palpatine is here? I think not.

There is an endless amount of usefulness from this card and I’m sure that it will bring balance to the Force in the current X-Wing metagame. Here is a sample build of  bounty buddies:

Bossk – Mangler Cannon + Calculation + Dengar + Boba Fett + Greedo = 45 points

Holy cow! You’ve got almost all the the most famous bounty hunters in the galaxy on one ship. This will make anybody shake in their boots when you place this ship on the table.

Can’t wait to see these new ships in use soon. Happy flying out there!

He’s no good to me dead!
