Should’ve Gone To Bossk
After Beckett enlists Han and Chewie to become part of his team and help out with his big coaxium heist on the planet Vandor, his partner Val is not happy with his choice. She doesn’t have faith that the job will go as planned and says that they should have gone to more professional criminals for help. One of those she mentions is Bossk.
You might remember Bossk as the lizard-like bounty hunter – technically, he’s a member of the Trandoshan species – that Darth Vader employs to hunt down Han in The Empire Strikes Back. Though he didn’t do a particularly impressive job in that film, spinoff media has significantly expanded on his character and established him as one of the most fearsome criminals in the galaxy. The Clone Wars TV series even revealed that he helped teach the young Boba Fett the tricks of the bounty hunting trade.
Another professional thief Val suggests they should have enlisted is “the Zan Sisters.” We’re not 100% sure, but this could be a reference to the Pike sisters, Zan and Zu. Appearing in the novel Shadows of the Empire, the Pikes are established as dangerous crooks operating during the Clone Wars, so they could still be around by this point.
