On to number 30.
***
This guy knew what he was doing. The length of the hunt told him that much. Boba Fett took Slave I slowly around a tumbling asteroid, making sure to keep one eye on the scopes and one on the hundreds of other rocks in the black space around him.
It hadn't happened much in his career, but it wasn't unheard of. A bounty hunter targeting another. Some guilds had rules against such things. This was different. The target was different.
Fett glanced down at the image of his target: Jubal Early. He had never heard of the man. That didn't matter. Fett had killed or captured plenty of targets he had never heard of. The outcome was always the same.
The scope pinged and Fett saw another ship coming around the corner.
"You've been following me," Early said over the mic.
Fett smiled. "Make this easy. Stand down, power down your ship, and you'll be towed to the nearest port."
"Confident, aren't you?" Early laughed. "Well, that's not part of my plan."
Fett's grin vanished. "It's part of mine."

Firefly's bounty hunter, Jubal Early, versus Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett. I'd say this showdown could be either ship to ship action or on the ground. Either would make for a tough showdown. Voting will continue until next Thursday. May the best bounty hunter win.

Well, according to the Star Wars expanded universe novel, which Lucas says count as canon, Boba Fett is fucking immortal and still trying to track down Han Solo. So I have to go Fett on this one.
Plus he once got into a lightsaber duel with Vader and held his own. That's gotta count for something.
Jubal doesn't stand a chance. Sorry, Joss.
If Jubal doesn't have the element of surprise, he's toast. Boba Fett ftw.
The Fett.
Jubal's only chance is in unarmed hand to hand combat on the ground.
How honorable do you think Boba Fett is? Honorable enough to fight unarmed in hand to hand combat? Neihther do I.
Fett wins, Jubal tries hard, but he's no match for Boba Fett's superior skills, cunning, or toys.
Early's got the psychological edge, but I get the feeling that Fett would just scream down out of the sun and let loose with the missiles.
Besides, Fett had a flamethrower. Early had a ... uhm... pistol.
