This is the one with the Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader cameo, and that also stars Amy Addams as Amelia Earhart, receiving top billing alongside Ben Stiller.
Personally, I didn't find this as enjoyable as the first - perhaps a case of familiarity breeding (not quite) contempt? - but did none-the less find it amusing enough

David McK (3508 KP) rated Star Wars, volume 3: War of the Bounty Hunters in Books

It also crosses-over with the 'War of the Bounty Hunters' collection of comics.
That much is obvious.
What was not so obvious, however - and I had no idea prior to reading this - is that it must cross over with some of the other Star Wars properties: I'm guessing Darth Vader for one. The reason I say that? I found it a bit jarring jumping from 'Vader's arrived!' in one issue to seeing rebels flee in the next, without any context of why or what had happened except for a few speech bubbles referencing events that I hadn't read!

Starting off impresively, I think it peaked at around about the time of the cross-over comic [b:Vader Down|27247275|Vader Down|Jason Aaron|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462909901s/27247275.jpg|47296344], and never really hit the same levels again - I think, for me, part of the problem may be that I was never really all that sold on the new characters of Dr Aphra or the killer droids Triple-Zer and Beetee introduced as part of the ongoing arc through the previous entries.
I did think, momentarily, that the ending of this would rescue the series as a whole (with Vader showing just why he was so feared, and being such a bad-ass), but then the rug was pulled out from under me with the actual ending - and not in a good way.
Still, at least I can now say I've finished the series!
