* TheCameo: He's quite prone for these, thanks to [[EnsembleDarkHorse his popularity among fans]].

* InformedAbility: We don't really see much of what the real Rako Hardeen is capable of other than his claim-to-fame and his marksmanship. And the one job we do see him doing and succeeding at was a setup by the Jedi Council.

--> ''"I'm not quitting now. Not when I'm so close."''

* PsychoExGirlfriend: Has nothing but hate and contempt for Han yet is determined to take him back with her.

* PaletteSwap: He's basically IG-88 but with some red plating. His relationship to IG-88, if any, is unknown.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dengar_sw_50.jpg]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Morris Bush (film), Creator/SimonPegg (''The Clone Wars'')
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' | ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' | ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]''

A skilled human bounty hunter who likes using superior firepower over finesse. He worked with Boba Fett during the Clone Wars, but later competed against him during the Rebellion after being one of several bounty hunters hired by the Empire to find Han Solo.

* AscendedExtra: Much like Bossk, his first appearance was a wordless cameo in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. In ''The Clone Wars'', while he doesn't have an especially large role, he at least has a voice actor and sees some action.
* BadassNormal: Not only his he proficient with blasters and bombs, he's also formidable in hand-to-hand combat against [[{{Ninja}} Kage warriors]], even if he is the first one to get knocked off the tram in "Bounty".
* CasanovaWannabe: According to the databank and his appearance in ''The Clone Wars'', he tends to make passes at any woman who catches his eyes, such as Asajj Venress.
-->'''Dengar:''' Hey, Bossk. Who's your girlfriend?
-->'''Bossk:''' Shut up, Dengar.
* DeadpanSnarker: His remark about Ventress being Bossk's "girlfriend" counts.
* EvilBrit: Courtesy of his voice actor in ''The Clone Wars'', Creator/SimonPegg.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He's got quite a nasty one on the right side of his face in ''The Empire Strikes Back''.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In "Eminence".
* MadBomber: He carries small, time delayed grenades.
* MeaningfulName: Switch the vowels and see what that spells.
* PsychoticSmirk: He sports one after planting grenades on two Kage warriors.

[[folder:[=IG-88=]]]
!!IG-88
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ig88_sw_5711.png]]

->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''

A droid bounty hunter built by Holowan Laboratories, an Imperial research group. After turning on its creators, IG-88 became one of the galaxy's most feared bounty hunters.

* TheDreaded: Its reputation is extensive enough that IG-88 is one of the bounty hunters personally summoned by Darth Vader to find the ''Millennium Falcon''.
* KillerRobot: One of the deadliest in the galaxy. Unsurprising, since IG-88 is descended from the Separatist [=MagnaGuards=].
* TheRival: Considered to be this to Boba Fett.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Has a considerable arsenal built into its exoskeleton.

[[folder:Derrown]]
!!Derrown
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/derrown_sw_3289.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Matthew Wood

Also known as "The Exterminator", this Parwan was considered one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy during the Clone Wars. He competed in The Box with ten other bounty hunters for the opportunity to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

* BadassBandolier: Due his to bio-electric energy field, he actually has to wear an insulated bandolier to keep his own explosives from blowing himself up when not in use.
* BizarreAlienBiology: He can inject himself with an electrolite-syrum, that would kill most other lifeforms, and with which he can pass through ray-shields unharmed.
* CombatTentacles: His fingers are very long and he can shock anyone who touches them.
* ExtraEyes: As every Parwan he has three eyes.
* GunsAkimbo: Aside from his bio-electric current, he has also two blaster pistols with grips practically designed for his tentacle-hands.
* JetPack: He sports one, that helped him escape the Jedi on Naboo.
* KarmaHoudini: He was the only bounty hunter to avoid being captured during Dooku's Chancellor-kidnapping plot. Judging by his background appearances in later episodes, the JetPack malfunction didn't kill him either.
* LivingGasbag: He's even referred to as one. However, being light-weight and floaty results in less speed and momentum when in flight.
* RedBaron: According to Dooku he's known as "the Exterminator".
* ShockAndAwe: The bodies of Parwans produce an electrical field, and Derrown used this to shock Anakin into submission.
* ShoulderCannon: Has a Franchise/{{Predator}}-style shoulder-mounted canon, although he hasn't used it on-screen.
* StarfishAliens: Parwans are some sort of three-eyed-tentacled-[[MushroomMan humanoid-fungi creatures]], and they're [[LivingGasbag floating in the air]].
* TheUnintelligible: Even the other bounty hunters (aside from Obi-Wan disguised as Rako Hardeen) seemed to be unable to understand him. Creates a bit of PlotHole, when he spoke to a Republic Senate guard using Galactic Basic, while being disguised as one of them.

[[folder:Twazzi]]
!!Twazzi
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twazzi_sw_153.png]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Catherine Taber

A member of the athletic Frenk species, Twazzi was a acrobat before turning to bounty hunting, a profession in which her athletic skills came in handy. She was one of five bounty hunters chosen by Count Dooku to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine.

* AnArmAndALeg: Anakin Skywalker cuts off her right arm when she attempts to fight him unarmed.
* DarkActionGirl: She proves to be one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy by surviving the Box.
* FingerlessGloves: Her gloves lack fingertips.
* HumanoidAlien: She is a Frenk.
* LeParkour: Her athletic skills gave her a considerable advantage in the Box.

[[folder:Mantu]]
!!Mantu
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mantu_sw_6526.png]]

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''

A ruthless Selkath bounty hunter who competed in the Box.

* CanonImmigrant: Not the character, but the Selkath species (along with the stereotype of them being peaceful), originated in the now-''Legends'' video game, ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''. However, the species made its canon debut earlier through the other Selkath bounty hunter, Chata Hyoki.
* CharacterDeath: During the ray shield portion of the Box, Mantu manages to survive nearly to the end, but one of the ray shields zaps his arm, causing him to lose balance and fall off a pillar into the ray shields, electrocuting him to death.
* FishPeople: He is a Selkath.
* TheQuietOne: He has no lines during his only appearance.
* StereotypeFlip: The Selkath are well known for being a peaceful race, while Mantu is a feared killer and bounty hunter. Count Dooku even comments on this.
-->'''Count Dooku:''' Your people were once a peaceful race. How far they have fallen...
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He dies in his first appearance.

[[folder:Bulduga and Onca]]

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bdc231404c3c448bd024cee669144832.jpg]]

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''

-->''"Onca, you and your brother have been a legendary team."''
--->--'''Count Dooku'''

A fearsome duo of Ithorian brothers, Bulduga and Onca were considered two of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy during the Clone Wars. They competed in Count Dooku's competition, only for Bulduga to be killed by Cad Bane prior to the start of the test and Onca falling victim to the Box.

* {{Expy}}: Invoked and parodied. Bulduga is very clearly trying to mimick Cad Bane with his brown leadervest, red lensed visors/goggles and broad trimmed fedora.
* GunsAkimbo: Onca used two blasters at a time, including a sawed-off blaster rifle.
* TheGunslinger: Many people believed that Bulduga was trying to imitate Cad Bane with his choice of hat and QuickDraw style, although they never did so within his hearing. Too bad for him that Cad Bane does not take well to copycats who have nicer hats than him.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Onca is killed when one of the spike traps in the Box impales him from behind.
* MightyGlacier: Onca was unable to move as fast as his brother, being unable to overcome the Ithorians natural heavy build, so he preferred to overwhelm his targets with firepower. This did not serve him well in the Box, where he fell victim to the quick traps inside very quickly.
* NiceHat: Bulduga wore a large brimmed hat similar to the ones Cad Bane wore. Unfortunately for him, this made Cad Bane want to take it for himself and kill Bulduga for it.
* SiblingTeam: They hunted bounties as a team, and even Count Dooku was aware of their fearsome reputation.
* StereotypeFlip: Ithorians are known for being a peaceful race. Bulduga and Onca are ruthless bounty hunters who are very quickly able to prove anyone who thinks that about them wrong.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: They both die in their debut episode, with Bulduga being shot by Cad Bane and Onca being impaled by a trap within the Box.

[[folder:Black Krrsantan]]
!!Black Krrsantan
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0ab0bb35d6592abe09cd1fc2303ba339.png]]

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]''

-->''"I've captured enough Wookieesss and ssold them to tradersss to feed the pitsss. Until Krrsantan I'd never met one who volunteered."''
--->--'''Bossk'''

A Wookiee bounty hunter frequently employed by Jabba the Hutt. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader hires Black Krrsantan to hunt down and capture a mysterious agent of the Emperor.
----
* {{Badass}}: Jabba refers him to Darth Vader as one of his top two hunters alongside Boba Fett. Krrsantan quickly proves his worth by tracking down and capturing Dr. Cylo IV, a personal agent of the Emperor, with ease.
* BattleTrophy: Takes a lock of hair from other Wookiees he kills in pit fights.
* BloodKnight: He enjoys fighting in pit fights against captive Wookiees. At one fight on Son-tuul, Krrsantan strangled one of the Wookiees who was supposed to fight and then took his place, with the owners being too scared to say anything about it.
* EvilCounterpart: To Chewbacca: he has darker fur and is an amoral bounty hunter who works for Jabba the Hutt and Darth Vader.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a very ugly scar over his left eye and extended over his head.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His shoulder pads have several spikes on them.
* StereotypeFlip: Most Wookiees are honorable beings who only fight when necessary. Krrsantan is a violent brute who enjoys killing enslaved Wookiees in pit fights.
* TheUnintelligible: Being a Wookiee this is a given, since he can only speak Shyriiwook, which sounds like only growls and roars to non-Wookiees.
* VillainousFriendship: With another bounty hunter named Beebox, who he gives a lock of hair from his latest kill in the fighting pits.

[[folder:Chanath Cha]]
!!Chanath Cha


->'''Appears in:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsLando Lando]]''


A prestigious bounty hunter hired by Palpatine to retrieve his private yacht from Lando's crew.
----
* {{Badass}}: Yeah, her introduction consists of her pretty much wiping out an entire crime syndicate and an army of mercenaries.
* BadassBandolier: She has two of them crisscrossing her chest.
* BadassCape: Dark gray in color.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The first thing she does after being given a ship and a droid minder by Palpatine is disable the droid. Why? Because it is Palpatine's droid and she has no idea what it has been programmed to do and Palpatine isn't exactly trustworthy.
* DistaffCounterpart: She's a female version of Boba Fett.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: She has scars that resemble knife wounds above one eyebrow and over her mouth.
* GunsAkimbo: Her main weapons of choice.
* [[JetPack Jet Boots]]: She has a pair that are similar to Cad Bane's.
* OneManArmy: She takes on an entire army of mercenaries by herself in her introduction and wins.
* SamusIsAGirl: She is introduced wearing full body armor and helmet and in every conversation between her and Palpatine and his droid they use gender-neutral pronouns. It isn't until she takes her helmet off in Lando's presence that we see she is a woman.
[[/folder]]

* TheRival: [[WordOfGod According to Filoni]], Bane and Jango Fett had an on-going rivalry to decide who's the best BountyHunter around, and Jango's death had left Bane disappointed that they wouldn't get to settle it. Filoni also said that Bane's reason for taking-up a mentor role for Boba in the cancelled BOunty Hunter-arc of ''The Clone Wars'' was that he hoped that Boba could take Jango's place, and settle the rivalry indirectly.

** The HanSoloTrilogy points out that Greedo has a tendancy to tremble when he's happy, which makes his aim ''awful.''

!!Chanath_Cha

* JetBoots: She has a pair that are similar to Cad Bane's.

SamusIsAGirl: She is introduced wearing full body armor and helmet and in every conversation between her and Palpatine and his droid they use gender-neutral pronouns. It isn't until she takes her helmet off in Lando's presence that we see she is a woman.

* EvilIsCool: ''So'' cool, with his NiceHat and GunsAkimbo. Appropriate, given than he's a Creator/LeeVanCleef analogue.
-->'''Cad Bane:''' You're lucky we're in a hurry, li'l lady. We'll have to [[DeadlyEuphemism dance]] another time. ''(tips hat)''

* EvilIsCool: ''So'' cool. Appropriate, given than he's a Creator/LeeVanCleef analogue.

* [[JetPack Jet Boots]]: Which he can use to match the Jedi's force assisted athleticism.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting:
** He was based on Creator/LeeVanCleef.
** Voice-wise, Creator/CoreyBurton based it on Peter Lorre and fellow voice actor Creator/LanceHenriksen.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Boba Fett originally went out like a punk, being hit in his jet pack by a blinded Han Solo before crashing into Jabba's Sail Barge and falling into the Sarlaac's mouth. He didn't die, but he was still permanently out of the rest of the story.

->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''Literature/DarkDisciple'' | ''Film/ANewHope''[[note]]1997 Special Edition and subsequent releases[[/note]] | ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]'' | ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' | ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''

* AntiVillain: As a child, he's bad, but it's hard not to sympathize with him considering how much of a good parent [[AffablyEvil Jango Fett]] turned out to be, and that he was killed before the poor kid's eyes. When he actually tries to get revenge on Mace Windu, he states that he doesn't want to bring any harm to befall his "brothers" (the Clones) and is only working with [[TheSociopath Aurra Sing]] because she's a means to an end.

* LegacyCharacter: In two ways.

* TookALevelInBadass: If nothing else, he definitely ''seems'' like more of a badass in the original trilogy than he did in ''Attack of the Clones'' or ''The Clone Wars''. In ''Dark Disciple'', he and a group of other bounty hunters were able to successfully apprehend Count Dooku, when beforehand, he proved no match for Asajj Ventress, suggesting he took that level late in the Clone War.
