The Hunger 8

Zak ran forward. Fett strode up behind, his helmeted head scanning the area. He peered down into the hole to make sure nothing was hiding there, then turned toward the others as Zak was telling Tash about the Children.

"They're cannibals, Tash! They're eating people!"
"What?" Tash said in amazement. "Where's Uncle
Hoole?" "Yes, where is Hoole?" Boba Fett demanded. "When I find him, all three of you are coming with me." Faster than a laser beam, the bounty hunter grabbed Zak by the hair, pinning him in place. Then he leveled his blaster at Yoda and fired. "No!" Zak cried. But the blaster fizzled and didn't fire. "Moisture damage," Fett grunted again. "Away with your weapon!" Yoda said, cringing. His calm Jedi demeanor was gone. Curled up on the ground, hugging his little walking stick, he looked foolish and frightened. "I mean you no harm!"

"I hate loose ends." Fett pulled a small holdout blaster from his boot, but found it covered with swamp slime. Fett tossed the blaster aside and aimed his capture cable at the little creature. As he fired, Yoda squawked and threw his arms up in sheer panic. The capture cable accidentally
snagged the walking stick, wrapping itself around the cane and jerking it from Yoda's hands.
Boba Fett stumbled backward as the cable went slack and the stick came flying back into his face. He slipped and vanished. He had fallen down the hole at the base of the tree. The moment the bounty hunter disappeared, Yoda composed himself with a gentle sigh. "You were only pretending to be afraid," Tash said.-Chpt.16-17 pgs.104-106
