I read that book and I thought that was the dumbest Idea the expanded universe ever came up with ... actually now that I think about it maybee it wasn't.

In IG-88's story in "Tales of the Bounty Hunters," IG-88 infiltrates Death Star II, plugs himself in, and makes the DS his
"body."

Actually, Tales of the Bounty Hunter is pretty good when it follows Dengarr and Boba Fett. The IG-88 storyline was one I didn't really care for, but since it didn't really cheapen anything, I just shrugged and accepted it. (It reads more like a rejected B-movie horror.)

The IG-88 story was actually pretty good except for the Death Star computer stuff. The Greedo story is very good.

Tales of the Bounty Hunter would make one fantastic TV series! Some of those stories were in fact good.

Considering the Emperor's BEST was on Endor and they wiped out by Ewoks, it's not too far-fetched if the citizens of Coruscant could overpower whatever was left on that planet. That's why in the long run, the bad guys are generally more stupid.


Something I never really thought about, but a damn good point.
