A HUNTER'S FATE: GREEDO'S TALE

Written by Tom & Martha Veitch

Adapted and Illustrated by Pablo Hidalgo

In 1995, Bantam-Spectra released the Star Wars anthology Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, in which Tom and Martha Veitch wrote a short story about Greedo's backstory called "A Hunter's Fate: Greedo's Tale." Near upon a decade later, with the advent of the official Star Wars fan club site Hyperspace, Pablo Hidalgo adapted the Rodian's story into a webstrip. Both the original short story and its adaptation were well-received by fans, with the latter running from 10/4/04 to 3/18/05.

In 1999, Lucas included a scene of Anakin fighting with a Rodian he considered to be the Greedo from A New Hope. This portrayal was carried forward into the Clone Wars third season, fourth episode "Sphere of Influence." These appearances of Greedo were later retconned as being Greedo the Elder, the father of the Greedo we see in A New Hope, and whose back-story is told here.

For the ease of those following the order of events on the Star Wars Expanded Universe Timeline, the following are delineated by section.
