The first story in the Goodwin and Williamson's run titled The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell introduced Skorr, who is the bounty hunter Han Solo is referring to when he says "Well the bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind." In the story, Han Solo is forced to set down on Ord Mantell, where Skorr is currently operating, to make repairs to the Millennium Falcon. Skorr recognizes Han Solo and captures Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia to lure him out. Han rescues Luke and Leia and they all escape aboard the Millennium Falcon, but are tracked by Skorr. Again, Skorr is outwitted, this time resulting in his capture by Imperials who believe he was complicit in the Falcon's escape. Skorr is sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel. This story is enhanced and reprinted in Classic Star Wars #1 and 2.
Skorr returns in Showdown to get revenge on Han Solo for his part in sending him to the Spice Mines of Kessel. In the story, Boba Fett has sent Dengar (misnamed Zuckass in the story), Bossk, Skorr, and other bounty hunters to capture Han Solo. Both Han and Luke are captured and taken to Ord Mantell where Boba Fett is negotiating a reward for Luke with Darth Vader. Ultimately Han and Luke escape but not before Skorr is killed in a scuffle with Han. Showdown is enhanced and reprinted in Classic Star Wars #20.
