Quick recap

Boba Fett has Han Solo frozen in carbonite and just needs to get him to Tatooine to collect Jabba's bounty. Before he can, the prize gets stolen and ends up on the auction block, and everyone shows up: Vader, the Hutts, rival hunters, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca, Doctor Aphra and an outfit nobody expected to see again, Crimson Dawn, run by Qi'ra. Fett spends the event fighting through shootouts and double-crosses to get back what's his. The story ends with Han finally delivered to Jabba and Qi'ra making it clear that Crimson Dawn has much bigger plans.
