Hi,

Looking for some rules/process clarification.

Lets say I am a bounty hunter and I have an objective to find CHewbacca as one of the contact tokens.

I go to the planets as part of my turn and in the encounter stage I choose to turn a token over. Upon turning over, it is not Chewbacca. My question is, am I still obliged to carry out the corresponding card relating to the contact I have just revealed?

Additionally to this, if I have a full crew and would not even wish to replace with the new found contact, again do I need to just go through the process of the associated card?

Thanks

Yes, your Encounter for that turn is that contact. Once you've committed to it, that's it - the exception being if it is your Bounty target, in which case you've got the choice of encountering it normally or going for the Bounty.

And yes, you'd have to do the full encounter, even if you don't intend to take the crew member.
