I read a series of books where the main characters take up bounty hunting out of a lack of any other applicable skills. The interesting thing is that the galaxy, by and large, in that series accepts bounty hunting as a necessary profession, and thus builds rules around it. - If you damage property while taking in a licensed bounty, the damages are billed to the quarry. Unless you fail, then you're stuck with the bill. - Deaths of people who get involved in the event of the bounty taking are legal. Deaths of people who aren't involved is not. - If you are not holding a duly issued bounty for a person, such as grabbing someone you don't have the job for yet, or even losing the warrant, will actually have you responsible for all damages, and the person(s) you captured get to go free. - There were a couple of others, but that's the gist.
It's honestly kinda hilarious that when he wanted to kill Greedo, the first guy decides he doesn't wanna do it so hires someone else, and then the second guy decides he doesn't wanna do it, and hires someone else, and the third guy decides he doesn't wanna do it so decides to convince Greedo to commit assisted suicide.
@@toomanyaccounts that is amazing. That business man really got screwed by the first assassin lol. He paid 218k euros for an assassin charging 28k euros. That's business right there.
There was another pair of Ithorian brothers from the KOTOR comics that were bounty hunters. I don't think they were that terrible, but their tendency to fight with one another was hilarious.
Yes, the planet was Telerath. They were that terrible. Their introduction was basically: So, we were hired to watch this guy but it’s been a few days and he hasn’t done anything interesting, so let’s grab him and then watch him while he’s tied up on our ship.
I love how games and movies portray bounty hunters as cool, take no crap people who go on high risk, high reward missions on a daily basis, meanwhile our world's hunters usually only go after bail jumpers

How about this for a idea. If the separatists won the war, how would they have governed there own government after the clone wars ended? This scenario implying palpatine is dead.
@@nicksoapdish157 It would probably be like two authorities in a single galaxy. Outer rims would be more secure and sound but as trade/trade goods and markets are regulated, smuggling and illegal mining/trade/farming etc would also be reduced thus the prices of goods coming from outer rim would be more expensive than usual. Vice versa for the Separatists as the Republic goods would have to be imported with tariffs making prices go up. Outer rim planets will have more attention/attraction and will be developed rapidly in terms of infrastructure and industry in time to compensate what resources they lack that are imported from the Republic. The populations would be higher as well to sustain the industry and worker needs. Probably workers from the inner and mid rim will migrate to outer rim in good numbers.
Crazy suicidal rodians. Here's a question i thought of recently: Why didn't the G.A.R. reprogram any of the droid factories? They could use the information against the C.I.S., and bolster the army's ranks.
Might not be that easy; otherwise they could just do the same to units captured in combat. CIS probably has the best DRM and copy protection in the galaxy. Plus, integrating droids into any significant portion of the army would make infiltration by CIS units almost laughably easy. Finally, the factories are probably death traps, producing their own defenders until damaged beyond recovery. And finally brand recognition is STRONG in warfare. People need to recognize their side at a glance. That's why the Stahlhelm, despite being the most optimal helmet shape, and protecting the lower back of the head, which is the most vulnerable zone, hasn't been imitated in years. It's too associated with the former users.
I have to agree, that wannabe droid bounty hunter tanked like what? 2 blaster bolts? My grandma can tank 3! Altho on the second she begins crawling and also goes blind... Edit: Im talking about Seriphas
I like seripas. In the show he refers to his armor as a 'mech'. So robotic human like mechs multiple times the size and strength of there operators do exist in SW..
Honestly Seripas isn’t as bad as he seems, he does fight back after his suit is destroyed, and is successful in taking down the pirate he was attacking, He can also use his short stature to his advantage if his armor is shot down, because enemies might not expect him to be inside. Therefore giving him the element of surprise
Not sure I’d agree with Moralo Eval. He maybe a narcissistic but he’s still very crafty and experienced. Prior to the box he was Dooku’s only default pick to be on the team tasked with kidnapping Palpatine. Even though he isn’t a top tier fighter his intelligence makes up for it and losing a fight to Obi-wan can’t be considered much of an anti-feat.
Right. Both Obi-Wan and Cad Bane may have made him look bad. But if you look bad next to one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy and a Jedi disguised as another of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy, that doesn’t say much about you.
A bit late to comment but we are also shown that Eval had a bit of control over the Coruscant Guard in prison. Granted, they were notoriously corrupt to begin with but I feel like this proves Moralo was more than just a common bounty hunter. Plus wasn't it established that he himself designed The Box?
"Bounty hunting is a complicated profession" holds true in all of these cases. Way in over their heads. The job is half presentation and half actual skill. Too much presentation and not enough skill is always a fatal mistake.

If I was a Bounty Hunter Ship Type - Hawk 290 Hyperdrive - ienar Fleet Systems SFS-DMS hyperdrive Length - 34 meters Laser Cannons - 4 Arakyd Flex Tube laser cannons Ion Cannon - Merr-Sonn JT-12 jet ion disruptor Shield Generator - Sirplex Z-9 Deflector Shield Generator I would install a much larger frame around 2.5 times larger and convert 3/4s of the hull to living/personal quarters with a shower, bed, droid charging station, a weapons locker, and a small storage space for anything. The rest of the hull would be converted to a holding cell. The cockpit would be modified for easier access from the hull to the cock pit. The wings would be become solid without the notches and with the extra space I would fit all of the new modifications above. My Inventory Armor - Metal phrink armor plating and helmet with attachable breathing tubes (like the Empire's pilot's) for breathing in harsh environments. Clothes - Black cooling padding with a red cloak wrapped around it and the armor over that. Muti-use battle ready combat boots. Blasters - E11D rifle, 2 A-180 Blaster Pistols, and 1 M5 WESTAR Ammo - 5 green energy cells, 7 thermo grenades Melee Weapons - 10in hidden Viroblade Miscellaneous - 2 beacons, gold necklace, and 4 ration meals Droid(s)1 heavy modified Ig 100 magma guard with metal phrink armor plating (note "plating" not completely made of metal phrink. Metal phrink is heavy.) with a 360 degree visor instead of 2 eyes. An extended torso about a 1ft longer and 3 extra smaller arms like the ones that the bounty hunter Migs Mayfield all equipped with a DL-18 Blaster Pistol. It's primary weapon would be a RT-97C Heavy Blaster Rifle with no scope instead a built in targeting system in the CPU and a extend barrel. Also built in multi-use tools like a laser cutter. 2 astromech droids specifically made for manning turrets on starfighters and nothing else.1 protocol droid How I would spend my money -My powerful droid and I would take on dangerous bounty hunting missions and after expenses like repairs to armor, ship, more ammo, food, and guild rates would use the excess money to save up to buy a small luxury 7000 square foot 2 story house with 8 automated turrets around the perimeter of the 10,000 square foot property, with big blaster proof tinted windows, and a ray shield generator. 4 IG assassin droids would also patrol the property. How I would start up -I will give myself 1 E-11 blaster rifle and just a few confrontable clothes. I would use a R-41 Starchaser which is a really cheap ship. I would take my first jobs being really small jobs like bail jumpers, thieves, and other small jobs of the like. I would slowly but surely clime my way up with experience, new skills, and better weapons and armor to take on even more dangerous jobs that pay more and then I could afford even better jobs. An example of this is instead of buying a IG 100 magma guard I could instead buy a B1-Battel droid with a few attachments like a much better processer, better limb movement, and a targeting system. You don't need a lot of money to get far.
good thinking but in addition to the blaster proof windows i would reccomend a "panic room" hidden in or underneath the house and a custom speeder bike just in case, maybe a barc or one of those imperial scout speeders (depending on the time period) with camera setups, traps and even more turrets in an easily defendable location like partly in a mountain range
Seripas is proof that mechs can be built in star wars. And while his unit wasn't the best its possible/likely that tougher models made out of better armor, built in shields and such, could have been done. That being said, and given the abilities of "micornized tech" in star wars... Can picture a "mech" that size, equipped with a heavy beam cannon, energy saber, and bescar type armor. a mini gundam. Then add in repulsers, jets, sealed for space operations... and you'd have a formidable little mech that could likely punch WAY above its weight class, able to take on/take out anything upto and includign AT-At's.
@@andrewgreeb916 Oh no, i'm not talking about Seripas himself building it. I'm suggesting that people LIKE seripas could have built things like this for the alliance (or the empire). Again we see time and time again, one off's built by groups of people for fighting. even the B-wing started as a 1 off that could oneshot a light cruiser.
@@jenniferstewarts4851 proof mechs are possible has existed for a long time. That proof is called a battle droid... battledroids are just mechs, but with computer brains. The question is, why would you build a mech when you can build a battledroid? Usually the advantage of an organic pilot would be creativity and skill, but those arent very usefull in a large, slow mech, they are essentially just tanks on legs, but for 1 person only.(so no troop carrying capabilities, which is the purpose of most tanks in star wars) Now you just waste a pilots life in a mech when he could have been replaced by a droid brain. Mechs would essentially only be useful for a single private individual like seripas, but would be too expensive for anyone larger than seripas. And at that point just get yourself a bunch of regular battledroids or mercenaries which are much more flexible and less prone to getting blown up by a single rocket launcher or well placed explosive.
@@Julian-pw5mv Why would you build a starfighter when you can build a droid fighter? Droid ai's are seriously limited. Why build and ATAT when you can just make it a giant droid? Again same problems. That being said... again, you wouldn't see one mass produced, but you could for example see a seriously wealthy rebel group.... picture for example an entire mandlorian clan, "working" for the empire but secretly building a bescar plated mech/starfighter hybrid with shields, a "light saber", heavy laser cannon, and using it for terrorist attacks.
i mean, you have the AT-TT which is by design , a mech (and looks uncomfortably like a locust from Battletech XD). and there is also the mech walkers of Carnelion IV.
Did a Star Wars tabletop rpg awhile back in high-school were I built a character who was basically the brother of Greedo. The DM liked the idea of a possible revenge story but we never ended up doing it which was fine by me, was just a lazy idea I had cause I wanted to be a bounty hunter when everyone else wanted to be jedi. Ended up with the face of the team helping me become a cyborg with laser mini guns and making me her body guard which I was fine with.
I would say a semi-useless “Bounty Hunter” (not Star Wars related) is Nack the Weasel from the Sonic series, has a 30-40% success rate, sure he was able to capture Sonic and Sally at some points, but they usually end up getting away either by themselves, or backup from the other Freedom Fighters, he’s is a ineffective hit man cause every time we see him using a rifle he either misses, or is not quick enough to take the shot, he’s also not good at keeping a hold of valuable items like Chaos Emeralds, although I do wonder what his success rate is cause at one point (in addition to his hover bike) he had a ship eerily similar to the Millennium Falcon
Jodo Kast shouldn't be on this list, he was a good bounty hunter, he just made the mistake of 1) Pretending to be someone who he thought was dead. 2) That person being alive. 3) That person not liking being impersonated. and 4) That person being a better killer than he was. we all make those mistakes. I hope Jodo appears in the Book of Boba Fett, of course he won't live through the experience, but we can't have everything.
I want a TV series where the main character is a bounty hunter that is so bad at his job that he somehow manages to capture all his targets through sheer luck and accidents
Seripas is a small mini exoskeleton? What do you consider a regular or a big exoskeleton armor? Ironman’s Hulkbuster? As if that small diminutive ssori didn’t already have a Napoleon complex… I do love that Chata Hyoki was essentially road hauled… not something you’d expect to see in Star Wars
Everything is relative, so yes Ahsoka was small, but that's in relation to adults. Seripas is diminutive in nature and is very small compared to just about everyone.
Could you do a video on Bounty Hunters who are also Force-wielders? I would imagine that former Jedi/Sith and other Force-wielders would have made for excellent bounty hunters. However, so far, I can only think of three individuals: Asajj Ventress Aura Sing (in Legends) A'sharaad Hett (for a brief period before he became Darth Kyratt) I'm wondering if there are any others that I might have missed. I am also curious about the effects that the Bounty Hunting lifestyle might have on a Force-wielder. My initial analysis: It would offer more flexibility from the strict rules of the Jedi which could prove to make it a better fit for Jedi who are less conventional, however, this could lead them to be more likely to turn to the Dark Side. For a Dark-Sider, it could offer more rules/moral boundaries, since there is a Bounty Hunter code (not that everyone follows it).
Being a bounty hunter in a state or bordered area on planet earth sounds difficult enough but imagine being a bounty hunter looking for your target across the universe. Lucky there’s Fobs
Hold tf up. I've spent years reading as much Star Wars as possible and I'm just learning that Greedo fought Anakin in TFM? Fuck me where did I miss that?
Chata Hyoki and Robonino seems like they could of been a funny and cool duo. Also their was another Selkath bountry hunter name Mantu that was also in the box episode.
“He (Boba Fett) Ends up quickly killing and defeating Jodo Cast and leaving him to die”? Only Boba Fett can quickly kill AND defeat someone then leave them to die!…. That’s amazing but then again he did survive all those years in a sarlacc pit which is essentially a GIANT STOMACH full of acid… that Beskar Armour really is something…. Gotta get some for my truck, between the salt on the roads during winter and the pigeons and seagulls making there mark the rest of the year, seems like a wise investment… would probably help when deer stop in the middle of the road at night, speeding up to make sure it doesn’t go through my windshield and skewer me … my truck should come out of it without a dent…
I don't think Greedo was supposed to be a bounty hunter. His name is a play on Guido, an Italian name, and Italians are usually mobsters (in fiction). So he's just one of Jabba's thugs, who happened to have run into Han on Tatooine. Which begs the question: What was Han doing trying to lie low on Jabba's planet?
to be fair, he ended up going against Revan and Bastila, along with the rest of the band. so yea, he was a great bounty hunter/sociapathic murderer but he just lackes the prowess to take on Revan effectively.
I wouldn't say he was incompetent, it would be difficult for the player character in Kotor to fight him one on one, but realistically you're fighting him 3 on 3 (or more if you fight him on Tatooine)
The Toro Calican episode of the Mandalorian was my least favorite in the entire series because I really didn't like the character and the actor came across as really smarmy.
the ithorians where did dirty by the new cannon, they have four throats and can make a loud but nonlethal scream, they weren't depicted as being particularly lumbering until the clone wars too
Moralo Eval isn’t actually a bounty Hunter by trade, so I don’t think it’s fair to include him on this list. He was never intended to actually help kidnap the chancellor at all, he was just the guy who came up with the plans.
What about those rodian brothers from Kotor that were killed by Calo Nord? I'm not sure if they were bounty hunters tho, but something tells me they were.
One of them wear really nice hat, I really want to know where he got it from. Too bad Cad Bane killed him before he said where the retailer was.
To be fair, he did pull a gun on Bane.

Wasnt it the point to get obi-wan to kamino? How else were the jedi supposed to stumble upon their cloen army?
@@Julian-pw5mv there was always a plan to have the Republic be informed of the clone army. stumbling upon it just accelerated things by months or years
Honestly I thought this video was about the "worst" as in the morally corrupt, but still a great video Alan.
That would be a cool video
Given this video, I think we are owed a "Most Competant Bounty Hunters" video, featuring the likes of Jango and Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk and Aura Sang
Have yall ever looked into the Battletech Universe?
Much Stompy Mech Action, Dakka, and Feudal Spess politics
Would it be unfair for me to say Castas from TCW? I ask because he doesn't do any actual fighting in the episodes he's a part of, but at the same time, he's also a coward and not too bright as well. Never really liked him as a character much at all and I'm a little surprised no one mentioned him.
Yeah I thought about him but he might have just been smart. Bounty hunters don’t do well against jedi
@@GenerationTech You have a point there, although I feel like Castas generally didn't want to do much of anything dangerous at all.
If I was a Bounty Hunter
Ship
Type - Hawk 290
Hyperdrive - ienar Fleet Systems SFS-DMS hyperdrive
Length - 34 meters
Laser Cannons - 4 Arakyd Flex Tube laser cannons
Ion Cannon - Merr-Sonn JT-12 jet ion disruptor
Shield Generator - Sirplex Z-9 Deflector Shield Generator
I would install a much larger frame around 2.5 times larger and convert 3/4s of the hull to living/personal quarters with a shower, bed, droid charging station, a weapons locker, and a small storage space for anything. The rest of the hull would be converted to a holding cell. The cockpit would be modified for easier access from the hull to the cock pit. The wings would be become solid without the notches and with the extra space I would fit all of the new modifications above.
My Inventory
Armor - Metal phrink armor plating and helmet with attachable breathing tubes (like the Empire's pilot's) for breathing in harsh environments.
Clothes - Black cooling padding with a red cloak wrapped around it and the armor over that. Muti-use battle ready combat boots.
Blasters - E11D rifle, 2 A-180 Blaster Pistols, and 1 M5 WESTAR
Ammo - 5 green energy cells, 7 thermo grenades
Melee Weapons - 10in hidden Viroblade
Miscellaneous - 2 beacons, gold necklace, and 4 ration meals
Droid(s)1 heavy modified Ig 100 magma guard with metal phrink armor plating (note "plating" not completely made of metal phrink. Metal phrink is heavy.) with a 360 degree visor instead of 2 eyes. An extended torso about a 1ft longer and 3 extra smaller arms like the ones that the bounty hunter Migs Mayfield all equipped with a DL-18 Blaster Pistol. It's primary weapon would be a RT-97C Heavy Blaster Rifle with no scope instead a built in targeting system in the CPU and a extend barrel. Also built in multi-use tools like a laser cutter. 2 astromech droids specifically made for manning turrets on starfighters and nothing else.1 protocol droid
How I would spend my money
-My powerful droid and I would take on dangerous bounty hunting missions and after expenses like repairs to armor, ship, more ammo, food, and guild rates would use the excess money to save up to buy a small luxury 7000 square foot 2 story house with 8 automated turrets around the perimeter of the 10,000 square foot property, with big blaster proof tinted windows, and a ray shield generator. 4 IG assassin droids would also patrol the property.
How I would start up
-I will give myself 1 E-11 blaster rifle and just a few confrontable clothes. I would use a R-41 Starchaser which is a really cheap ship. I would take my first jobs being really small jobs like bail jumpers, thieves, and other small jobs of the like. I would slowly but surely clime my way up with experience, new skills, and better weapons and armor to take on even more dangerous jobs that pay more and then I could afford even better jobs. An example of this is instead of buying a IG 100 magma guard I could instead buy a B1-Battel droid with a few attachments like a much better processer, better limb movement, and a targeting system. You don't need a lot of money to get far.
good thinking but in addition to the blaster proof windows i would reccomend a "panic room" hidden in or underneath the house and a custom speeder bike just in case, maybe a barc or one of those imperial scout speeders (depending on the time period) with camera setups, traps and even more turrets in an easily defendable location like partly in a mountain range
As always an incredible video, love these kinds of videos. Always proffessionally made
The mighty dolphin empire is now accepting recruits to bring peace and security to the galaxy.
Seripas is proof that mechs can be built in star wars. And while his unit wasn't the best its possible/likely that tougher models made out of better armor, built in shields and such, could have been done. That being said, and given the abilities of "micornized tech" in star wars...
Can picture a "mech" that size, equipped with a heavy beam cannon, energy saber, and bescar type armor. a mini gundam. Then add in repulsers, jets, sealed for space operations... and you'd have a formidable little mech that could likely punch WAY above its weight class, able to take on/take out anything upto and includign AT-At's.
That would require money, that he likely doesn't have.
@@andrewgreeb916 Oh no, i'm not talking about Seripas himself building it. I'm suggesting that people LIKE seripas could have built things like this for the alliance (or the empire).
Again we see time and time again, one off's built by groups of people for fighting. even the B-wing started as a 1 off that could oneshot a light cruiser.
@@jenniferstewarts4851 proof mechs are possible has existed for a long time. That proof is called a battle droid... battledroids are just mechs, but with computer brains.
The question is, why would you build a mech when you can build a battledroid? Usually the advantage of an organic pilot would be creativity and skill, but those arent very usefull in a large, slow mech, they are essentially just tanks on legs, but for 1 person only.(so no troop carrying capabilities, which is the purpose of most tanks in star wars) Now you just waste a pilots life in a mech when he could have been replaced by a droid brain.
Mechs would essentially only be useful for a single private individual like seripas, but would be too expensive for anyone larger than seripas. And at that point just get yourself a bunch of regular battledroids or mercenaries which are much more flexible and less prone to getting blown up by a single rocket launcher or well placed explosive.
@@Julian-pw5mv Why would you build a starfighter when you can build a droid fighter?
Droid ai's are seriously limited. Why build and ATAT when you can just make it a giant droid? Again same problems.
That being said... again, you wouldn't see one mass produced, but you could for example see a seriously wealthy rebel group.... picture for example an entire mandlorian clan, "working" for the empire but secretly building a bescar plated mech/starfighter hybrid with shields, a "light saber", heavy laser cannon, and using it for terrorist attacks.
i mean, you have the AT-TT which is by design , a mech (and looks uncomfortably like a locust from Battletech XD). and there is also the mech walkers of Carnelion IV.
Did a Star Wars tabletop rpg awhile back in high-school were I built a character who was basically the brother of Greedo. The DM liked the idea of a possible revenge story but we never ended up doing it which was fine by me, was just a lazy idea I had cause I wanted to be a bounty hunter when everyone else wanted to be jedi.
Ended up with the face of the team helping me become a cyborg with laser mini guns and making me her body guard which I was fine with.
I would say a semi-useless “Bounty Hunter” (not Star Wars related) is Nack the Weasel from the Sonic series, has a 30-40% success rate, sure he was able to capture Sonic and Sally at some points, but they usually end up getting away either by themselves, or backup from the other Freedom Fighters, he’s is a ineffective hit man cause every time we see him using a rifle he either misses, or is not quick enough to take the shot, he’s also not good at keeping a hold of valuable items like Chaos Emeralds, although I do wonder what his success rate is cause at one point (in addition to his hover bike) he had a ship eerily similar to the Millennium Falcon
4:40
I like that gesture of cad bane and embow to each other giving a hat salute XD
Jodo Kast shouldn't be on this list, he was a good bounty hunter, he just made the mistake of
1) Pretending to be someone who he thought was dead.
2) That person being alive.
3) That person not liking being impersonated.
and
4) That person being a better killer than he was.
we all make those mistakes.
I hope Jodo appears in the Book of Boba Fett, of course he won't live through the experience, but we can't have everything.
Maybe season 2

Hearing you call him "Gogurt" made me snort powerade out my nose.
Love to see Jodo Cast in Book of Boba, would be cool to see that scene where two of them face each other
Greedo was sponsored by those darned dolphins
“He gotta be the worst bounty hunter ive ever heard of”
“But you have heard of me right?”
I knew Toro would be the first haha
I want a TV series where the main character is a bounty hunter that is so bad at his job that he somehow manages to capture all his targets through sheer luck and accidents
Chata Hyokl: gets slammed into a sign.
Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons: HA HA!
Seripas is a small mini exoskeleton? What do you consider a regular or a big exoskeleton armor? Ironman’s Hulkbuster? As if that small diminutive ssori didn’t already have a Napoleon complex…
I do love that Chata Hyoki was essentially road hauled… not something you’d expect to see in Star Wars
Where are my Moomo Brothers? They were also an Ithorian team of bounty hunters. ;-)
Yeah but Greeto can control time itself. He's like the Bernstein Bears of bounty hunting.
He just needed to travel back a few more seconds.
That’s Ringo Roadagain, not Greedo.
It's odd when you realize that Fennec Shand is about 5 years older than Boba Fett.
I think Ahsoka pulled the "Size matters not" bit because she was also small.
Everything is relative, so yes Ahsoka was small, but that's in relation to adults.
Seripas is diminutive in nature and is very small compared to just about everyone.
Could you do a video on Bounty Hunters who are also Force-wielders?
I would imagine that former Jedi/Sith and other Force-wielders would have made for excellent bounty hunters. However, so far, I can only think of three individuals:
Asajj Ventress
Aura Sing (in Legends)
A'sharaad Hett (for a brief period before he became Darth Kyratt)
I'm wondering if there are any others that I might have missed.
I am also curious about the effects that the Bounty Hunting lifestyle might have on a Force-wielder.
My initial analysis: It would offer more flexibility from the strict rules of the Jedi which could prove to make it a better fit for Jedi who are less conventional, however, this could lead them to be more likely to turn to the Dark Side. For a Dark-Sider, it could offer more rules/moral boundaries, since there is a Bounty Hunter code (not that everyone follows it).
there was that one that was paired with the wierd headed 3po. you saw them in the bounty hunters lined up before Vader in Empire Strikes back.
Being a bounty hunter in a state or bordered area on planet earth sounds difficult enough but imagine being a bounty hunter looking for your target across the universe. Lucky there’s Fobs
"The Box" that Moralo Eval invented is more like the "Cube" series of movies that started in 1997
Hold tf up.
I've spent years reading as much Star Wars as possible and I'm just learning that Greedo fought Anakin in TFM? Fuck me where did I miss that?
Deleted scene from the phantom menace
he was a little kid then. you can see him in the group of Anakin's little friends. I think he even got called by name
These videos seem to be getting more and more interesting!

Depending on the edition, Greedo either got shot first because he was talking too much, or he missed a point blank shot.
Can’t wait to hear this one
Every time Alan mispronounces Din Djarin’s name a kitten gets AIDS. Lotta AIDS kittens after this video
Chata Hyoki and Robonino seems like they could of been a funny and cool duo. Also their was another Selkath bountry hunter name Mantu that was also in the box episode.
This channel is so underrated
You got a problem with Serapis, you got a problem with me
How have I never seen the episode where the whale guy intimidates padme
You had me in the first half with that thumbnail ngl
Sounds like many of the "lower level" bounty hunters are just thugs for hire.
“He (Boba Fett) Ends up quickly killing and defeating Jodo Cast and leaving him to die”? Only Boba Fett can quickly kill AND defeat someone then leave them to die!…. That’s amazing but then again he did survive all those years in a sarlacc pit which is essentially a GIANT STOMACH full of acid… that Beskar Armour really is something…. Gotta get some for my truck, between the salt on the roads during winter and the pigeons and seagulls making there mark the rest of the year, seems like a wise investment… would probably help when deer stop in the middle of the road at night, speeding up to make sure it doesn’t go through my windshield and skewer me … my truck should come out of it without a dent…
“Squid games for bounty hunters.”
I remember when we just referred to it as Cube in Space.
Gogurt?! Haha
I don't think Greedo was supposed to be a bounty hunter. His name is a play on Guido, an Italian name, and Italians are usually mobsters (in fiction). So he's just one of Jabba's thugs, who happened to have run into Han on Tatooine. Which begs the question: What was Han doing trying to lie low on Jabba's planet?
Calo Nord was an incompetent bounty hunter because he was not very skilled at sizing up his opponents. He thought he could best anyone even a jedi.
to be fair, he ended up going against Revan and Bastila, along with the rest of the band. so yea, he was a great bounty hunter/sociapathic murderer but he just lackes the prowess to take on Revan effectively.
I wouldn't say he was incompetent, it would be difficult for the player character in Kotor to fight him one on one, but realistically you're fighting him 3 on 3 (or more if you fight him on Tatooine)
Please make a video where the galactic republic with the jedi attack
So Bobba Fett, killed, defeated, and left his imposter to die…in that order?
The Toro Calican episode of the Mandalorian was my least favorite in the entire series because I really didn't like the character and the actor came across as really smarmy.
hence the episode was perfect because you were meant to cherish his death
The entire point of that episode was just to set up Boba, which - after watching BoBF- renders the "mystery" all the more lackluster IMO...
the ithorians where did dirty by the new cannon, they have four throats and can make a loud but nonlethal scream, they weren't depicted as being particularly lumbering until the clone wars too
Moralo Eval isn’t actually a bounty Hunter by trade, so I don’t think it’s fair to include him on this list. He was never intended to actually help kidnap the chancellor at all, he was just the guy who came up with the plans.
Maybe a "Luke Skywalker vs Ancient Sith" video?
Wait that was greedo as a kid!??!
yo dont insult my boi greedo getting shot by han solo is more than most other bounty hunters accomplished
Lol true
0:22 Ah yes. Truly a legendary Bounty Hunter the totally real and official Cad Bane.

Im yelling at the TV , wait ✋ till Anakin finds out

first comment and first view. you're awesome Allen from Generation Tech. think we can get more Legends videos out of you??
Number 8 Boba Fett - gets beat up almost every episode and needs other people to save him
"Chata Hyokl grapples to Padme's speeder bike, which is actually just a terrible idea."
Yeah, who do you think you are, Chata -- Hunter?
Some bounty hunters are better then others. Great video
What about those rodian brothers from Kotor that were killed by Calo Nord? I'm not sure if they were bounty hunters tho, but something tells me they were.
Great video yes I watched the whole video
“Much bigger bounty in little gogurt”

Jodo Kast is my favorite bounty hunter even though he messed up big time.
