Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Death, Lies, and Treachery is a 3-part miniseries from the Star Wars Legends that was collected in TPB in 1998. Like Dark Empire before it, it featured art and (very stylized) coloring by Cam Kennedy. Unlike Dark Empire, however, this new series opted not to focus on Luke, Han or Leia, and instead placed bounty hunter Boba Fett (whose grisly death-by-sarlaac-ingestion had been undone, courtesy of the previous miniseries) in the starring role.Along with Enemy of the Empire, it's one of the few stories that focuses on Fett prior to both his being revealed as a clone and his being confirmed as an actual Mandalorian as opposed to someone who might just be wearing the armor. However, it also holds the further distinction of being one of the few Star Wars stories that makes absolutely no mention of the Force.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series takes place shortly after Dark Empire, where we find Fett going after three different bounties, one per issue. While each issue is a self-contained story, there's a larger plot that ties everything together, a plot involving a family member of one of these bounties; this family member wants revenge against Fett and the people who hired him...and is powerful enough to have a chance at actually getting it.

Cheated Death, Died Anyway: Boba is hired to kill Orko in the third book but spares his life in exchange for a bribe bigger than the bounty on him. Soon after Boba leaves, Orko is simultaneously given a poisoned sandwich by his aide and attacked and ripped apart by Ry-Kooda.

Lotsa People Try to Dun It: In the third issue, three people want Orko the Hutt dead. Orko's son-in-law Gorga hires Boba Fett to kill Orko. After he finds out his wife is pregnant, he changes his mind and tries to call Boba off, but he can't reach him. Ironically, Boba betrays Gorga and offers to spare Orko's life in exchange for the money Gorga offered, plus 100,000 credits. Orko's mistreated servant Hisroot tries to stab him in the back, and then poison his sandwich but is interrupted both times. Ry-Kooda attacks Orko's mansion to avenge the death of his brother and rips Orko to pieces.

Fett guns down two of Ry-Kooda's henchmen even after they plead that they never wanted to go after him and only did out of fear of Ry-Kooda. Granted, they're former members of Bar-Kooda's crew, so it might be more of a Kick the Son of a Bitch moment, but as shown with Magwit, not all of Bar-Kooda's crewmen had a choice in the matter.

Kick the Dog
 Death, Lies, and Treachery (Comic Book) / int_34dcfc96
comment
Kick the Dog: Boba's treatment of innocent Family Man magician Wim Magwit is stunningly nasty. He forces Magwit to help him catch Bar-Kooda by exploiting the minor bounty on Magwit for his time as a member of Bar-Kooda's crew, even though he was more of a prisoner than anything else. When Magwit says that he'd rather plead his case before a judge, Boba threatens to kill him and claim he tried to escape. Then, after Magwit does help him, Boba abandons him on Bar-Kooda's ship near an exploding bomb and a crew of angry pirates who want to kill Magwit for helping Fett. When Magwit manages to survive anyway and calls him out for this, Fett unrepentantly says he promised he'd let Magwit go, he just didn't say where. He then adds that Magwit should be grateful that Fett gave him a chance to save himself, no matter how bad the odds were. When the pirate Toxus Li's crew all die defending him from Fett even though the bounty is on Toxus alone, and not them Fett mocks them for it. Fett guns down two of Ry-Kooda's henchmen even after they plead that they never wanted to go after him and only did out of fear of Ry-Kooda. Granted, they're former members of Bar-Kooda's crew, so it might be more of a Kick the Son of a Bitch moment, but as shown with Magwit, not all of Bar-Kooda's crewmen had a choice in the matter.

Early Installment Weirdness: This series was released before the Hutts were revealed to be a One-Gender Race that reproduced asexually, so most of Gorga's plotlines, especially Anachro's pregnancy, may seem more than a little odd for newer fans.

Reed Richards Is Useless
 Death, Lies, and Treachery (Comic Book) / int_8b221a63
comment
Reed Richards Is Useless: Wim Magwit possesses a device he calls "Magwit's mystifying hoop" and uses as a handheld Portal Door in his act as a stage magician. One would be inclined to think that this is just an illusion since no media in Star Wars had ever demonstrated that such technology exists, but there's nothing fake about it; the hoop is a short-range matter transmitter that he stole from "a rather strange alien", technology which remained unique in the setting until seventeen Real Life years later, where it showed up in Star Wars: The Old Republic as part of a Rakatan prison complex on Belsavis. The potential applications of this device, which he understands well enough to repair and maintain 'on his own, boggle the mind, and there are only two possible explanations as to why he hasn't sold it for ludicrous amounts of money: it hasn't occurred to him that any of the various galaxy-wide megacorporations would beg him to take their money so they could reverse-engineer and patent it. Or, he has considered it, but decided that the risk was too great because he realized that entities like rival megacorporations, the Hutts, The Empire, and the Rebel Alliance would stop at nothing to obtain the technology for themselves once word got out.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Bar-Kooda's former crewmen only join his brother on a quest for revenge because they're terrified he'll kill them if they don't. They try to make a run for it as soon as Ry-Kooda is distracted fighting Boba, but most of them are crushed when Anachro the Hutt is sent flying through the air and lands on them. Gorga's majordomo runs away and hides rather than help Gorga during the climax. Gorga angrily yells that he's fired, but later rehires him to help Gorga and his family get back to town.
