Jango (Temuera Morrison) tells Kenobi that he's just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe, and that he was hired for the clone job by "a man called Tyrannus." He got paid handsomely for his DNA, and we see an army of him being bred. Kenobi finds Jango on Kamino, where Jango's body and DNA are being used as a template for an army of clones. She fails, so Jango snuffs her before she can spill any secrets - Obi-Wan Kenobi goes on a journey into mystery to track him down and figure out what's what. It was mostly Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones that brought the bounties back, and added much more to the Fettster lore.Įveryone welcome Fettster Senior, Boba's daddy Jango! Jango Fett (wearing a cleaner rendition of Boba's Mando armor) hits the Coruscant scene, hiring another bounty hunter (a shape-shifting Clawdite named Zam Wesell) to assassinate Senator Amidala. When Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace hit the screen in 1999, we got a lot more from the scum and villainy of Tatooine (slavery is a thing, pod races are huge, junk dealers are awful, etc.) but not much of it included bounty hunting, aside from a very brief peek at a character named Aurra Sing. In the old expanded universe canon, Boba escaped, but his ultimate fate remains unclear in the new canon.īoba shows up in all three of the "original" movies if you count his appearance alongside the CGI Jabba the Hutt in the Special Edition of A New Hope, but otherwise, that's pretty much all the bounty hunting we see in the original trilogy.īOUNTY HUNTERS IN THE PREQUEL TRILOGY - AN ARMY OF YOU It's not long until Luke is on the scene, Solo is free, Jabba is dead, and the Fettster goes down the sarlacc drain in a most undignified manner. Despite Leia/Boushh being Jabba's kind of scum (fearless and inventive), the ruse dissolves quickly. Many years later, in one of the Star Wars: Forces of Destiny shorts, we saw how Leia duped the real Boushh and stole the outfit. Leia Organa is able to gain entry by pretending to be a member of the profession, going by the name Boushh. They're not the only bounty hunters there, though.
Admiral Piett has the choice line here: "Bounty hunters … we don't need their scum."Ĭhewbacca's Bounty - Return of the Jedi īoba Fett is back in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and if you look very closely, Dengar and Bossk are visible in Jabba's palace too. Right at the start, when Han and Leia are bickering about Han leaving Hoth, Han says he was planning to stay with the Rebels, but "the bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind." He's still being hunted, and it's not long before Darth Vader brings in a cadre of bounty hunters to help his inept bunch of Imperials capture the Millennium Falcon. All this is before we meet him in live action, though.)īounty Hunters are a part of Empire before Boba Fett and Co. He rides a creature of some kind and wields a rifle with a tuning fork stuck in the tip - a weapon that will appear in The Mandalorian. (Technically, Boba Fett made his debut in an animated cartoon as part of the Star Wars Holiday Special, which Lucasfilm pretends doesn't exist. This includes the most famous bounty hunter in Star Wars, Boba Fett. In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, we meet some real bounty hunters, characters who would go on to define the profession for us. Even so, he's our introduction to Star Wars' galaxy of bounty hunters. This is usually a defining trait in a bounty hunter, because their prizes are almost always no good to them dead. He definitely works for Jabba, but he doesn't seem all that interested in taking Solo in alive. Greedo (a Rodian) is not necessarily a bounty hunter only, as Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3 reveals that he also dabbled in kidnapping and other criminal enterprises. Greedo thinks that he's lucky because he found him first, but he's not lucky at all - he doesn't survive the scene. Solo owes "Jabba" a lot of money and Greedo has come to collect, telling Solo that Jabba put a price on his head so large that every bounty hunter in the galaxy is going to be coming after him.

The first time the term appears in the series is in Tatooine's Mos Eisley cantina, shortly after Greedo points a blaster at Solo right as he's about to shuffle off to Docking Bay 94.
