Plot summary
Development
The scene in which the Sith Lord Darth Vader is seemingly about to Force choke Beilert Valance, only to instead adjust his collar, is one of writer Ethan Sacks's favorite moments in Star Wars: Bounty Hunters. Sacks later shared textless art of the moment when discussing it on Twitter.[3]

- ↑ The flashbacks of Star Wars (2020) 50 take place approximately twenty-two years after Sheev Palpatine's ascension to Emperor, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, meaning they must occur around 3 ABY. The flashbacks also take place after the events of Star Wars (2020) 43, which occur after the Star Wars: Dark Droids crossover event, an event Charles Soule Unleashes Dark Droids on StarWars.com (backup link) places after Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters, which is dated to 3 ABY by Timelines. As Bounty Hunters 28 takes place between War of the Bounty Hunters and Dark Droids, its events must take place around 3 ABY.
- ↑ Ethan Sacks (@ethanjsacks) on Twitter (post): "As I look back at the Bounty Hunters run, I had so many beats, but I think my two favorite are probably: 1.) The old Darth Vader looks like he's about to Force choke Valance, but is just adjusting his collar. (The Sith are neatness freaks, apparently) (Art by @paolovillanelli)" (backup link)
