In the post Star Wars-era New Republic, a hired bounty hunter and his diminutive friend help hunt down remaining Imperial factions and also assist a reforming son of Jabba the Hutt.
Passable film spin-off of the first live action TV series to live outside the parameters of the original saga. A little tedious for its repetitive preference for action over mysticism or romance, but agreeable enough on its own terms, as a sci-fi James Bond-style Clint Eastwood lone avenger thriller, set in a galaxy not particularly far, far away.
