So far as his on-screen historical past goes, not a lot was explored within the motion pictures when it got here to Bossk. Nothing was stated about him particularly in “Empire” and it is solely by merchandise and different supplementary supplies that we realized extra about him, together with his title. One factor that was revealed in 1982 is that the Trandoshan is (or at the least was) royalty of a kind.
In “Star Wars” #67 revealed by Marvel Comics and written by David Michelinie, Bossk is known as the Monarch of the Qotile system. Whereas the story is basically targeted on Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2, it is a fascinating little nugget that helped flesh out the character a bit extra. Sadly, these older comedian books are now not thought-about canon as they’re a part of the previous expanded universe, now dubbed “Legends” tales by Lucasfilm. Nevertheless it’s actually one thing that might be revisited in some unspecified time in the future.
