History YMMV / TalesOfTheBountyHunters

** It's kind of hard not to feel sorry for Dengar by the time you finish his story. The retcon almost seems like a HappyEndingOverride, as Manaroo doesn't exist in the new continuity (although, the plotline about Dengar having deadened emotions doesn't exist either).
** Zuckus could be a minor one too, if you know how his story will eventually end.

* CompleteMonster: "[[Literature/TalesOfTheBountyHunters Therefore I Am: The Tale of IG-88]]": [[AIIsACrapshoot IG-88A]] is the first of the IG-88 series of assassin droids. Immediately deciding upon his own superiority to organics when he awakens, IG-88A slaughters the scientists nearby and butchers everyone in the area, awakening three other droids like him and sharing his consciousness with them. Setting out to become a BountyHunter, IG-88A kills many while hiding his true goal of the genocide of organics and [[RobotWar droid revolution]], having everyone in a droid factory slaughtered as a test run. Later seeking to [[ContagiousAI upload his consciousness]] to the second Death Star, IG-88A plans to begin annihilating entire planets and trigger the signal to usurp the minds of every droid and have them kill organics while he himself destroys the Imperials and Rebels alike at Endor.

* BetterThanCanon: Not necessarily all of it, but Dengar's portrayal is more well received than his post-Clone Wars ones have been.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Dengar.

* HarsherInHindsight: In "The Last One Standing", part of the record 5 million credit bounty that Boba Fett takes by capturing Kardue'sai'Malloc alive goes to cancer treatments, which his narration says have been bankrupting him. Medical bankruptcies and the general high cost of US healthcare would go on to become a major political issue in the United States in the ensuing decades.

* HilariousInHindsight: In "The Last One Standing," Boba Fett mentions not falling for the trick Han Solo used on the Imperial Navy by hiding amongst their garbage because he'd "been fooled by trick before, once." While ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' may have {{retcon}}ned his backstory as featured here, it also shows him and his father being fooled by Obi-Wan Kenobi performing a similar trick to the one Han pulled.

* BetterThanCannon: Not necessarily all of it, but Dengar's portrayal here is probably liked better than his post-Clone Wars one.

* CanonSue: IG-88 manages to outwit ''the Emperor''.
** [[spoiler:And then he out-gambits himself and gets blown up by the Rebels.]]

* NightmareFuel: When IG-88 directs other units to [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turn on their creators]] and become [[GoneHorriblyRight the full-time assassins they were created to be]]

* CanonSue: IG-88 manages to outwit ''the fucking Emperor''.

* CompleteMonster: Bossk qualifies, being a slaver and skinning the Wookiees he kills. He also plans to commit mass murder with a "Flame Carpet" warhead, which sounds very much like napalm from the description in the story. Averted for the other bounty hunters; the worst of them, IG-88, is just following his programming as the perfect killing machine, so he isn't really sadistic by choice.
