Beloved Star Wars writer Delilah Dawson made her grand debut with this sleeper hit of a short story starring Bazine Netal, who looked to be the new Boba Fett of the Sequel Trilogy. Though that never quite panned out, Dawson established herself as more than capable at telling compelling character-centric stories with female leads in a galaxy far, far away. It was originally part of the Journey to the Force Awakens publishing initiative and was eventually included as bonus content in the paperback release of The Force Awakens novelization. It pairs well with "Bait,” a short story about Grummgar, Bazine’s bounty buddy, originally published in Star Wars Insider 162. The Perfect Weapon is a very accessible, light read and even received an excellent audiobook adaptation—especially excellent around Halloween.
