abstract
| - "The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett" is a short story written by Daniel Keys Moran and published by Bantam Spectra in the Tales of the Bounty Hunters anthology. It focuses on bounty hunter Boba Fett, though also features passages written from the point of view of war criminal Kardue'sai'Malloc and Han Solo, former smuggler and hero of the Rebellion. The early portions of the book deal with a number of incidents in Boba Fett's early life, documenting his fixation on and rivalry with Han Solo, and establishing much of his background. After jumping time frames a number of time the story reaches 19 ABY and stays there for its duration. After an older Fett successfully captures Kardue'sai'Malloc, the Butcher of Montellian Serat, to pay for his retirement, he and his old nemesis Solo end up facing off on Jubilar, where they first met. The story ends in a cliffhanger, with each man pointing a gun at the other from a close range. The story had received mixed reaction since its publication in 1996. Some fans believe Moran's portrayal of Fett is too emotional and human for an antagonist, but it is considered by many to be the best Star Wars short story, while published Star Wars authors Kevin J. Anderson and Abel G. Peña rank it highly. Boba Fett's backstory as established by "The Last One Standing" was originally considered canon, but it was superseded with the release of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, which made Fett a clone of his father. Jango Fett: Open Seasons and the New Essential Guide to Characters fixed this problem with a number of retcons, and while it is still canon, "The Last One Standing" has been marginalized by a number of other works, both in terms of in-universe historical details and in terms of Fett's characterization.
