When last we saw Qi'ra in 2018's Solo: A Star Wars Story, she was headed to Dathomir to meet with Maul, ex-Sith Lord-turned-leader of the Crimson Dawn criminal syndicate. Who is clever and/or foolish enough to steal from Boba Fett? Someone with very close ties to Han - his old girlfriend Qi'ra. Someone has managed to steal Han's body from Boba Fett, instigating a free-for-all as every bounty hunter in the galaxy fights over this incredibly valuable prize. That's the basic premise fueling War of the Bounty Hunters, a storyline being explored in the titular miniseries as well as monthly comics Star Wars, Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra and Bounty Hunters. He apparently had some problems of his own to deal with. Why did it take Luke, Leia and friends so long to rescue Han Solo from Jabba's palace? The answer, it turns out, is that Boba Fett didn't bring Han's carbonite-encased body to Tatooine right away. War of the Bounty Hunters is set in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and aims to answer one of the bigger mysteries from this particular era.
