"Added Muscle" is a brief narrative featured within the From a Certain Point of View compilation. Paul Dini penned this story, presenting events as experienced by Boba Fett.
The bounty hunter Boba Fett is summoned to Docking Bay 94 by Jabba the Hutt, along with his associates, acting under Jabba's orders. Jabba informs Fett that he requires some backup for a debt recovery mission. Fett anticipates two potential outcomes from this encounter. The first being that Han Solo complies with Jabba's demands, resulting in a peaceful resolution for everyone. The second, Solo and Chewbacca resist, giving Fett the opportunity to claim another trophy. Fett's initial plans involved departing from Tatooine the previous day, but he postponed his departure upon discovering that Darth Vader was searching for two rogue droids. Furthermore, Fett sought to gain favor with Lord Vader after eliminating two rebel spies on Coruscant.
Fett had previously joined the search for the two droids, but the trail vanished at the location where Imperial stormtroopers had slaughtered a Jawa clan inside their sandcrawler. Fett responded to Jabba's request hoping to settle his differences with Solo and capture Chewbacca. During his time with Jabba, the crime lord Hutt might view the bounty hunter as his closest confidant. Fett is there when Solo persuades Jabba to grant him more time to repay his debt. Although disappointed, Fett pledges to pursue Solo and claim Chewbacca's scalp.
