Tatooine Manhunt

Tatooine Manhunt is an adventure for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game written by Bill Slavicsek and Daniel Greenberg. It was published by West End Games in June 1988.

In 2007, Pablo Hidalgo said that an adaptation of this module was a planned future storyline for the Rookies webstrips. However, no new Rookies webstrips have been published since Rookies: No Turning Back concluded in 2006.

Summary
In this adventure, a group of Rebel agents on Space Station Kwenn in the Kwenn system&mdash;the player characters&mdash;learn that Adar Tallon, a hero of the Clone Wars long presumed dead, is still alive on Tatooine. They also learn that the Galactic Empire has sent several bounty hunters, including Jodo Kast, IG-72, and Zardra, to capture or kill Tallon. The Rebels head to the desert planet, trying to reach Tallon ahead of the bounty hunters and the forces of the Imperial Star Destroyer Relentless.

The adventure also comes with maps of Mos Eisley and the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Cover art
The cover of this book features five bounty hunters which are very similar to the ones in The Empire Strikes Back, but who are supposed to be new characters. From right to left: Although the cover suggests that all of these bounty hunters are allied with each other (they are posing together, as if threatening a common target), most of them are foes to each other: Jodo Kast is not allied with any of the others; nor is IG-72; and Jungen and Shrike oppose both IG and Kast.
 * The small Gand who looks like Zuckuss is Vytor Shrike
 * The robot is not an IG-88, but IG-72 (In fact, at this point, only one IG-88 was known).
 * The man in a Mandalorian armor was Jodo Kast, who has impersonated Boba Fett in the past.
 * The Trandoshan is Jungen, not Bossk.
 * The protocol droid who stands for 4-LOM does not have any clear referent in the story. However, other Human characters such as Zardra and Quist cover what could have been its role.

Actually the cover of this book is a piece of conceptual art created by Ralph McQuarrie for Empire Strikes Back. The piece is titled Scourge of the Galaxy and was of the original bounty hunters (Boba Fett, IG-88, 4-Lom, Zuckuss and Bossk) on Cloud city, Bespin. The piece was later appropriated for use as cover art for the book.
