| 30 | |
| 31 | A Mandalorian foundling disavowed by his own people for reasons unknown, Jango Fett was widely regarded as the deadliest bounty hunter in the galaxy, rivaled only by Cad Bane. During the final years of the Republic, Jango was hired to provide the genetic template for the Clone Army, as part of a secret plot to subvert the power of the Jedi and the Senate. His fee? A single, unaltered clone to raise as his son and successor - a boy he named Boba. |
| 32 | ---- |
| 33 | * TheAce: Outright stated to be the absolute best bounty hunter of his time, with some level of expertise in nearly every form of combat, not to mention being a skilled pilot and assassin. |
| 34 | * AcePilot: His dogfight with Obi-Wan in the asteroid field above Geonosis was remarkably more one-sided than their earlier close-quarters duel on Kamino. After realizing that he was being tailed, he easily outmaneuvers the Jedi starfighter and would have destroyed it, were it not for some improvisation on Obi-Wan's part. |
| 35 | * ActionDad: Loving father to Boba and an incredibly formidable bounty hunter. |
| 36 | * AmbiguousSituation: His status as a Mandalorian in the canon is... ''complicated.'' While it is confirmed that he was a foundling taken in by a Mandalorian clan, which should make him a rightful Mandalorian, the New Mandalorians -- particularly Prime Minister Almec -- dismissed him as a "common bounty hunter" who had no claim to his armor. Whether this was due to the New Mandalorians [[UnPerson disavowing]] him for his crimes, some institutional discrimination against foundlings, or if this was merely a casual AdoptionDiss by Prime Minister Almec (a notably elitist CorruptPolitician) is unclear. |
| 37 | * AdaptationalWimp: Jango's still a badass, but we haven't seen him kill several Jedi with his ''bare hands'' in the canon, so there's a definite difference from how he was portrayed in ''Legends''. |
| 38 | * AlasPoorVillain: Sure, he's a cold-blooded killer who tried to assassinate a Republic senator and kill a Jedi, but he did so just to make ends meet for his family. It's even more heartbreaking when you consider Jango's mistakes results in poor Boba having to fend for himself. |
| 39 | * AffablyEvil: He's a mercenary who will kill without hesitation, but is also a loving father to Boba. If one of his former associates, SpacePirate Hondo Ohnaka, is to be believed, he was said to be an honorable man, and seems to be a completely normal guy when not on a job. |
| 40 | * ArmorIsUseless: Averted; Jango's armor is the only reason why he's able to take as much punishment as he does. Whether it's a beating from Obi-Wan, damage from a jetpack malfunction, or a blow from a reek, Jango's armor can take it. |
| 41 | * BadLiar: While he's always [[TheStoic collected and cool-to-the-touch]], he's actually a pretty terrible liar due to a lack of social improvisational skills, and just the overall shady vibe he gives off. His attempts to fool Obi-Wan fall completely flat, and it's in fact what finally tips him off that something is ''very'' off in Tipoca City. Interestingly, despite their varying personalities, this is the one psychological trait that his clones have ''universally'' inherited, and in the case of Boba, he's honest to a fault and is almost completely incapable of lying. |
| 42 | * BadassNormal: |
| 43 | ** A much more legitimate example than Boba in the theatrical films, given his track record: He takes on Obi-Wan on even footing, kills a Jedi Master who was attacking the stands in the Geonosian arena, takes out the reek in a single shot, and manages to get the drop on Mace Windu twice, all without Force powers, cybernetics, or alien abilities. |
| 44 | ** Jango Fett is the only normal human in the canon to have killed Jedi in open combat and fought Obi-Wan (a Jedi Knight) to a draw. There's a reason he was picked to be the prime human for the clones. |
| 45 | * BodyguardingABadass: He serves the role as Count Dooku's bodyguard during the initial phase of the Jedi assault on the Geonosian arena. Dooku needs protecting the way [[FatBastard Jabba]] needs more food. |
| 46 | * BackpackCannon: His jetpack can fire rockets. |
| 47 | * BountyHunter: His profession. |
| 48 | * ComplexityAddiction: He hatches two separate plans to assassinate Padmé Amidala without being linked to his employer by subcontracting them to Zam Wesell. Both are needlessly complicated and fail miserably; the first when the bomb they planted on Amidala's ship kills her body double instead, and the second when the Jedi intercept the droid that snuck poisonous worms into Amidala's room. The latter attempt even manages to directly lead Obi-Wan to his residence on Kamino. |
| 49 | * ConsummateProfessional: Jango is all business when he's on the job; in the arena on Geonosis, he never once breaks his steely demeanor, even when Windu has a lightsaber at his throat. |
| 50 | * CoolHelmet: Jango wears a blue-colored Mandalorian mask, the same type that Boba would later wear during the Original Trilogy. After Jango's death, Boba used his helmet in a trap to kill Mace Windu, blowing it in half in the process. |
| 51 | * CoolStarship: The ''Slave I'', a customized ''Firespray-31'' patrol class ship that is extremely useful in bounty hunting due to its high speed, armaments, and storage for prisoners. After his death, this ship ended up in the possession of his son, Boba. |
| 52 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', he drives much of the plot during the first half of the film. He hired Zam Wesell, the film's StarterVillain, to make two attempts on Senator Amidala's life, and he [[HeKnowsTooMuch silenced her]] when she was about to reveal his name. Obi-Wan Kenobi spends much of the film attempting to discover his identity, track him, and capture him in order to find out who hired him to assassinate Senator Amidala. After following Fett to Geonisis using a homing beacon, Kenobi manages to identify Count Dooku as Fett's employer, and therefore the film's central villain, before being captured. Mace Windu ends up killing Fett after arriving on Geonosis with a team of Jedi to rescue Kenobi, Skywalker, and Amidala from execution, leaving Dooku to become the film's FinalBoss. |
| 53 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: All of the clones made in his image ended up undergoing this path in their respective series, becoming unique individuals far different from their progenitor. |
| 54 | * DotingParent: One of his [[PetTheDog redeeming qualities]] is his loving relationship to Boba. |
| 55 | * TheDragon: Dooku's first before General Grievous and all the others in the [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse canon]]. |
| 56 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He reserved an unaltered clone of himself (Boba) to raise as his son. For all his faults as a person, Jango truly cares for the boy, and Boba still reciprocates his father's love many years later, showing that he deeply misses him. |
| 57 | * EvilMentor: To his son, whom he raises to be as ruthless and greedy as himself. |
| 58 | * ExpendableClone: With the obvious exception of Boba, Jango held a rather dim view of his clones in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsAgeOfRepublic Age of Republic]]'', comparing them to livestock. |
| 59 | * FamedInStory: Before Cad Bane, Fett was regarded as the greatest bounty hunter of his time during the Prequel Trilogy. His death allows Bane to take his place as the best bounty hunter around. |
| 60 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Boba proves to be an effective wingman to his beloved dad despite only being a kid, as seen when he commandeers the ''Slave I'' lasers to blast at Obi-Wan while Jango fights him hand-to-hand. Later, the Fetts have the time of their lives chasing down Obi-Wan's starfighter across the asteroid field. Unfortunately, Jango doesn't live long enough to see his son take up the Mandalorian armour and continue his legacy as the galaxy's best bounty hunter. |
| 61 | * FireBreathingWeapon: He has a miniature flamethrower in his left gauntlet, which he uses to attack Mace Windu. |
| 62 | * GrapplingHookPistol: His gauntlet-mounted whipcord, which he uses to great effect by lassoing Obi-Wan and dragging the latter as he flies with his JetPack. It gets [[HoistByHisOwnPetard used against him]], however, when Obi-Wan wraps it around a pylon and forces him to crash. |
| 63 | * {{Greed}}: Jango's main motivation is money and he never seems to get enough. Despite being paid handsomely for his role in creating the clone army, he continues to take jobs, eventually taking on a permanent position with Count Dooku. |
| 64 | * GunsAkimbo: With his twin blaster pistols. |
| 65 | * GunTwirling: He does this before holstering his blaster in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. He even mimes [[SmokingBarrelBlowout blowing smoke]] away from the barrel. Given that he was wearing a (face-obscuring) helmet at the time, he probably did just to look [[RuleOfCool cool]]. |
| 66 | * TheGunslinger: He takes down Jedi with nothing but a pair of blasters, complete with GunTwirling. |
| 67 | * HeroKiller: Jango comes with an earthshaking reputation and largely lives up to it, fighting Obi-Wan to a draw, killing a Jedi Master and Council member during the arena battle, and actually getting off a few shots at Mace Windu before being slain. |
| 68 | * HeroTrackingFailure: He fires continuous rapid shots at Obi-Wan's ship for nearly a minute and appears to be right on the bead, but somehow hundreds of bolts hit every spot around the ship without making a scratch. |
| 69 | * HiredGuns: Jango is not adverse to mercenary work and takes paychecks from the Republic and the Separatists alike (though both jobs he does in the film were paid for by the same man, Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus). |
| 70 | * InformedAttribute: In The Clone Wars, several characters - including Obi-Wan Kenobi! - describe Jango as "honorable". Virtually all that we see him do in the film is make sneak attacks, including [[TeamKiller the cold-blooded killing of his own partner]] over the ''possibility'' that she might give information to the Jedi. Evidence for that "honor" is, to say the least, [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil a little thin on the ground]]. |
| 71 | * ItsPersonal: Jango seems to have a fair bit of experience killing Jedi, which shouldn't be surprising, given the Mandalorians constant fighting with them. |
| 72 | * JetPack: One of his assets, which he uses to good effect in battle against Obi-Wan, though not so much against Mace Windu. |
| 73 | * KillItWithFire: He had a flamethrower in his armor, which he used in his fight against Mace Windu. |
| 74 | * LikeASonToMe: This is technically the case with Boba Fett. While he fully regards Boba as his son, biologically speaking Boba is closer to being his ''younger brother'' due to his status a perfect clone of Jango. |
| 75 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: A villainous example to Boba, whom he mentors to follow in his footsteps, before being slain by Mace Windu. |
| 76 | * MuggingTheMonster: In ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsAgeOfRepublic Age of Republic]]'', a crew of bounty hunters he was working with held Boba hostage to force him to give up his share of the reward. Interestingly in this case, it's Boba who easily overpowers them after a quick distraction by Jango. |
| 77 | * MugglesDoItBetter: During the Battle of Geonosis, he nonchalantly guns down Coleman Trebor, a Jedi Master on the Jedi Council, after Trebor leaped up to the platform to challenge Count Dooku. |
| 78 | * MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. He is a mysterious mercenary who is introduced just as he is trying to assassinate one of the protagonists, Padmé Amidala. However, after both his attempts fail, he is then pursued by another protagonist, Obi-Wan, as he flees back to his employer. |
| 79 | * MysteriousPast: Most of Jango's past is largely unknown [[note]]his original backstory in ''Open Seasons'' was discarded into ''Legends'' continuity[[/note]], other than he was born on Concorde Dawn and that he fought in the Mandalorian Civil War. |
| 80 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Killing Zam with a toxic dart rather than a simple blaster allows Obi-Wan to trace the dart back to Kamino, where he would meet Jango and later follow him to Geonosis. This would later lead to Mace Windu sending several Jedi there to rescue Obi-Wan when he got captured and later kill Jango in the ensuing battle. In short, Jango created the circumstances that lead to his own demise. |
| 81 | * NobleDemon: Although he was a villainous character who was wasn't above carrying out assasinations for money, he was referred to as an honorable man by Hondo Ohnaka. |
| 82 | * NotInThisForYourRevolution: Jango doesn't seem too concerned with what the Republic would want to do with an army made in [[CloneArmy his image]], nor its potential effects on the galaxy. When talking to Obi-Wan, he regards his clones in the same way a businessman pitches his product. |
| 83 | * OffWithHisHead: Courtesy of Mace Windu. |
| 84 | * OhCrap: He has a silent "oh crap" reaction when Mace starts charging at him, deflecting all his blaster shots. Jango tries to activate his jetpack, but it was too badly damaged by the Reek, so he desperately keeps shooting to no avail. |
| 85 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Jango doesn't care about politics or ideology. All that matters to him is getting paid. However, this is averted when he makes a deal to become the template for the Clone Troopers. Though Jango's fee was still sizeable, another of his conditions was to have a single unaltered clone to raise as his son. |
| 86 | * ParentsAsPeople: A darker example than most, since Jango is far from a good man but he's nevertheless a doting father to Boba and tries to do right by him at every turn, often playing up his own cool image to impress Boba. Jango and his cloned son get a few endearing moments together, making his death at Windu's blade quite tragic, especially since Boba had to witness it. |
| 87 | * PassiveAggressiveKombat: Judging from his interactions with Obi-Wan, it's safe to say this is another combat style he's mastered. |
| 88 | * PoisonedWeapon: His saberdart, which he uses to kill his partner Zam Wesell. |
| 89 | * PragmaticVillainy: |
| 90 | ** He only kills Zam Wesell to ensure the safety of his employer's plans. |
| 91 | ** Jango's general philosophy seems to be this as well, only doing jobs for the credits, with little of the sadism, sleaziness or ulterior motives of his contemporaries. |
| 92 | * PreExplosionBuildup: The signature effect of Slave 1's seismic charges. When Jango deploys them against Obi-Wan's Jedi starfighter, the area around them goes silent ([[SpaceIsNoisy remarkable for a Star Wars film]]), then they explode with a deep, booming bass noise. It's so notable that Obi-Wan identifies them by this effect alone. |
| 93 | * PredecessorVillain: To Boba Fett, who gains his armor, methodology, and title of "best bounty hunter in the galaxy". It helps that Boba is his clone "son", meaning the two were for all intents and purposes identicalz. |
| 94 | * ProfessionalKiller: While his official title may be a "bounty hunter", his role in ''Attack Of The Clones'' is to act as Dooku's personal hitman. |
| 95 | * PunchclockVillain: Jango's in it for the credits and his son. While he did try to kill Obi-Wan, it was to cover his own escape, not out of any personal grudge. |
| 96 | * TheQuietOne: Judging by ''Attack of the Clones'', Jango's a man of few words. |
| 97 | * RailingKill: He inflicts one on Coleman Trebor, after the latter attempts to assassinate Count Dooku in the balcony overseeing the Petranaki Battle Arena, but is shot by Jango and falls backward over the balcony railing, about 50 feet or so down to his death. |
| 98 | * RuggedScar: Has one above his left eye and another on his right cheek, emphasizing his status as a veteran bounty hunter. |
| 99 | * TheRival: [[WordOfGod According to Dave Filoni]], Jango and Cad Bane had an ongoing rivalry to decide who was the best BountyHunter around, and Jango's death had left Bane disappointed that they'd never get to settle it. Many, many years later, Bane would eventually settle this rivalry in the next best way: [[Series/TheBookOfBobaFett A duel to the death with his son (and clone) Boba]]. [[spoiler:Boba was better.]] |
| 100 | * ShoutOut: Jango Fett is named after Film/{{Django}}. |
| 101 | * SchrodingersCanon: A lot of Jango's early life was detailed in non-canon ''Legends'' material, and has yet to be touched on since. |
| 102 | ** He was a war orphan adopted into Clan Fett by a group known as the True Mandalorians, who opposed both the terrorist Death Watch and the pacifist New Mandalorians. He rose to a leadership position in the organization, but they were eventually slaughtered when a Deathwatch-aligned politician deceived the Jedi into intervening against the True Mandalorians. [[StartOfDarkness This instilled Jango with a deep hatred for the Jedi]], which Count Dooku exploited to secure his genetic template for the Clone Army. |
| 103 | ** On a related note, Dooku had a long history with him - he led the Jedi strike team that fought the True Mandalorians, with Jango's impressive performance in the battle being what inspired Dooku to hire him years later. |
| 104 | ** [[spoiler:''The Mandalorian'' series re-canonized Jango's backstory as a war orphan adopted by the Mandalorian Jaster Mereel, and that he had fought in the Mandalorian Civil War. Beyond that, the specific details remain unknown such as which side he took during said-civil war (as the war was between the warriors who would eventually form Death Watch, a group that ''Legends'' Jango opposed, and the pacifists aka New Mandalorians, who essentially disowned him by the time of ''The Clone Wars'').]] |
| 105 | * StrongAndSkilled: Both a fantastically skilled bounty hunter and stated to have fantastic genes that can hold his own in a fight. |
| 106 | * TragicVillain: Being a Mandalorian foundling, he was in some way either orphaned, or abandoned by his biological parents. ''Legends'' material explained he was the son of farmers who were tortured and killed by Death Watch members hunting a group called the True Mandalorians, and there is nothing suggesting this isn't true in Canon too. |
| 107 | * TooDumbToLive: His track record against the Jedi was pretty good, but going after Mace Windu, who was widely renowned as ''the'' most dangerous Jedi combatant of the era, while his most crucial piece of equipment (his jetpack) was broken, and having just been trampled by a reek was an incredibly dumb move, especially since he basically remained stationary, firing one of his pistols as Windu while the Jedi simply ran up and decapitated him. |
| 108 | * TrulySingleParent: His son was cloned directly from his genetic material on Kamino. |
| 109 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: After surviving both a [[BadassNormal close quarters duel]] and a [[AcePilot dogfight]] with Obi-Wan Kenobi, apprehending Anakin Skywalker, and effortlessly [[HeroKiller gunning down]] Jedi Master Coleman Trebor, he assumed Mace Windu would be a similar pushover. He assumed wrong. |
| 110 | * VillainousFriendship: It's a brief moment, but Count Dooku seemed genuinely saddened by his death. |
| 111 | * VillainousLegacy: |
| 112 | ** While his death was a relative footnote amid the start of the Clone Wars, the CloneArmy he produced and trained was instrumental in the fall of the Jedi Order towards the wars' end. His clones may have been [[NotInThisForYourRevolution just another job]] to him, but the galaxy at large considered it his most important, and still talk about them well into the era of The First Order. |
| 113 | ** Meanwhile, his son Boba took up his trade in his memory, and has since eclipsed his reputation as the galaxy's most notorious BountyHunter. |
| 114 | * VillainousValor: Trying to take on Mace Windu, the second most powerful Jedi in the Order, might not have been Jango's smartest move, but it was certainly his bravest. |
| 115 | * WalkingArmory: He's got a missile on his JetPack, a pair of dart-throwers in his knees, a flamethrower in his arm, a grappling hook in the other one, a blade that can deploy from his forearm, and his two blaster pistols. |
| 116 | * WorfHadTheFlu: He might have put up a much better showing against Mace Windu if the reek in the Geonosian arena hadn't trampled over him and destroyed his jetpack just before. |
| 117 | * WorldsStrongestMan: Jango is considered at ''large'' to be one of the best bounty hunters to have ever lived, and is stated to dominate his competition, to the point both Kaminoans and Dooku had very good faith in his abilities. |

| 137 | Zam Wesell was a Clawdite bounty hunter and killer-for-hire who was brought in as a subcontractor when Jango Fett was hired to assassinate Senator Amidala. Failing two attempts and captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi, she was killed by Jango. |
| 138 | ---- |
| 139 | * AnArmAndALeg: Obi-Wan slices her right hand off when she tries to shoot him from behind without him knowing. |
| 140 | * BadassDriver: She's a mean speeder pilot, as evidenced during her skillful evasion of Anakin in the busy airlanes of Coruscant. |
| 141 | * BilingualBonus: Any fan with a grasp of knowledge of the languages of ''Star Wars'' can tell you that her last words in Huttese translate to "Bounty hunter slimeball..." |
| 142 | * CharacterDeath: Zam is killed by Jango's saber dart after being cornered and interrogated by Obi-Wan. |
| 143 | * ColdSniper: One of her weapons is a sniper rifle, which she uses on Obi-Wan. |
| 144 | * DarkActionGirl: She's a skilled assassin and marksman who gets tied up with the Separatists. |

| 146 | * HisNameIs: Right before she drops her client's name, she's silenced by a toxic dart. |
| 147 | * LizardFolk: Her [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm Clawdite form]] is a lizard-like alien. |
| 148 | * ProfessionalKiller: Like Jango, Zam appears as an assassin rather than a bounty hunter in ''Attack of the Clones''. |
| 149 | * JustFollowingOrders: Uses this excuse while being interrogated by Obi-Wan. |
| 150 | * SheKnowsTooMuch: Zam is murdered by Jango via a toxic saberdart to stop her from talking. |
| 151 | * ThisWasHerTrueForm: Reverts to her Clawdite form after Jango kills her, though she momentarily reveals it during the ChaseScene in ''Attack of the Clones''. |
| 152 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: She is a Clawdite changeling who can assume any form, making her perfect for discreet operations. However, in ''Attack of the Clones'', the only form she's ever seen to take is that of a human woman, and she never makes an attempt to change it even among a crowd of strangers where Obi-Wan and Anakin believe her to be at her most dangerous. She makes much better use of this skill when working alongside Aurra Sing in ''The Halcyon Legacy'' 2. |

| 169 | Aurra Sing was a female Palliduvan Jedi turned bounty hunter who operated during the final years of the Old Republic. She was present on Tatooine, where she watched the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, during the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo. During the Clone Wars, Aurra served the role as the mother figure of Boba Fett (the son of Jango Fett) until she was supposedly killed on Florrum when ''Slave I'' crashed and Boba was incarcerated. She, however, survived the crash. She also worked with Cad Bane's posse during the Senate Hostage Crisis. Despite her prowess, she was unceremoniously pushed to her death by Tobias Beckett, at least according to Beckett himself. |
| 170 | ---- |
| 171 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: In ''Legends'', Aurra is a [[HalfHumanHybrid hybrid of a human and an unknown species]]. In the canon, she is identified as a Palliduvan. [[SchrodingersCanon However]], it's not quite clear if this is a retcon to her being 100% Palliduvan or if she remains a HalfHumanHybrid and the species of her ''Legends'' counterpart's father was NamedByTheAdaptation. |
| 172 | * AmbiguousSituation: Her "death" in ''Solo''. While Tobias Beckett claims to have pushed her off a cliff, it's unclear whether Sing actually survived (seeing as she did manage to survive the crash of ''Slave 1'' when Ahsoka brought it down), or if Beckett was lying (since the character was known for being deceitful). |
| 173 | * AmicableExes: She and Hondo get along rather well despite the fact that they are no longer in a relationship. |
| 174 | * ArcVillain: While it's Boba's quest for vengeance, Aurra as his EvilMentor serves as the main threat during the Boba Fett arc at the end of Season 2 of ''The Clone Wars''. |
| 175 | * AscendedExtra: Aurra made a very brief appearance (3 seconds at most) in ''The Phantom Menace'' watching the Boonta Eve Classic podrace. She receives a fleshed out expanded role in ''The Clone Wars''. |
| 176 | * AssholeVictim: Tobias Beckett was no saint himself, but Aurra Sing was one of the most sadistic bounty hunters in the galaxy. To say she had her fate coming would be an understatement. |
| 177 | * AxCrazy: She enjoys violence and killing. |
| 178 | * BaldOfEvil: She is a very cruel bounty hunter who has a shaved head with quite a few long flocks of hair kept in a topknot-style ponytail. |
| 179 | * BoomHeadshot: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E22LethalTrackdown Lethal Trackdown]]", she does this to Castas when he tried to betray her. |
| 180 | * BusCrash: Her last chronological onscreen appearance in the canon was ''The Clone Wars'' episode "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E22HostageCrisis Hostage Crisis]]", which took place relatively early in the Clone Wars. In ''Solo'', it is revealed that Tobias Beckett unceremoniously killed her by pushing her off a ledge a significant amount of years after the war. |
| 181 | * ColdSniper: She is a very good shot and shows no remorse for any of her victims. |
| 182 | * TheCorrupter: To Boba. Even her {{leitmotif}} reflects this. |
| 183 | * CreepyLongFingers: She has some very creepy fingers. |
| 184 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: They enhance her sinister and [[LooksLikeOrlok Orlok-like]] appearance. |
| 185 | * {{Cyborg}}: She has a biocomputer and communications antenna embedded in her skull. |
| 186 | * DarkActionGirl: Oh yeah. She took on Ahsoka and managed to injure her with blasters. |
| 187 | * DeadpanSnarker: She has a dry enough wit to make even Hondo shut up for a moment: |
| 188 | -->'''Hondo:''' ''[talking to Castas about working with Aurra]'' Couldn't handle her, could you? Well, don't be ashamed. You're not the first man to bail out from under her command.\ |
| 189 | '''Aurra:''' He's (Hondo) speaking from experience. |
| 190 | * DeathByAdaptation: In ''Legends'', Aurra Sing survived into the [[Literature/LegacyOfTheForce Second Galactic Civil War]] (which, by chronological comparison, would be set a few years after the Sequel Trilogy in the Canon). ''{{Film/Solo}}'' confirms that Tobias Beckett killed her sometime into the Empire's first decade in the Canon. [[AmbiguousSituation Or so he claims]]. |
| 191 | * DesignatedGirlFight: With Ahsoka in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E7Assassin Assassin]]". It's also notable that she became the first and so far only character to injure Ahsoka in a fair fight. |
| 192 | * DisneyVillainDeath: If Tobias is to be believed, she was killed by him simply pushing her to her death. |
| 193 | * TheDreaded: She is one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy in ''The Clone Wars''. ''Solo'' indicates that Beckett was heavily renowned for killing her, with some characters such as Lando Calrissian even dubbing him "The Man Who Killed Aurra Sing". |
| 194 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Although it's chronologically her last onscreen appearance in the Canon, "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E22HostageCrisis Hostage Crisis]]" (her first appearance in ''The Clone Wars'' air-date wise) features Cad Bane killing a bunch of Senate guards with a hand-grenade. Seeing a survivor crawling towards the door ''begging'' for help, Aurra, with a cold smile, shoots him in the head. |
| 195 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She prevents the underage Boba from drinking alcohol while in Hondo's bar. |
| 196 | * EvilMentor: The first of many bad mentors for Boba after he was orphaned. |
| 197 | * EvilRedhead: She keeps her head mostly shaved sans a long red ponytail. |
| 198 | * FallenHero: She was once a Jedi, but left and became a bounty hunter at some point. |
| 199 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She acts fairly personable and friendly, but it only conceals (and not very well) her cold, sociopathic persona. |
| 200 | * GangstaStyle: During the final showdown with Ahsoka in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E7Assassin Assassin]]", she held her blasters sideways. |
| 201 | * GunsAkimbo: She used two blasters at once when she tried to assassinate Padmé, who was protected by Ahsoka. |
| 202 | * InterspeciesRomance: At some point, she (Palliduvan) had a relationship with Hondo Ohnaka (Weequay). |
| 203 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: She does end up in jail after a failed assassination attempt, but she's quickly broken out by Cad Bane. However, she eventually gets killed by Tobias Beckett a significant amount of years after the Clone Wars (assuming he wasn't lying about it). |
| 204 | * KilledOffScreen: Tobias Beckett pushed her to her death at some point before the events of ''Film/{{Solo}}''. At least, as far as he claims. |
| 205 | * KickTheDog: Executing a mortally wounded Republic Guardsman while he begs for mercy. |
| 206 | * LackOfEmpathy: The only emotion she shows at Boba's moments of moral conflict is annoyance. |
| 207 | * LooksLikeOrlok: A rare female example of this trope. |
| 208 | * MsFanservice: She's a curvaceous alien woman wearing a skin-tight suit that shows off much of her figure. |
| 209 | * NotQuiteDead: She was thought to have been killed when she crashed with Slave I, but she survived. |
| 210 | * ParentalSubstitute: To Boba, at least until she leaves him to be captured by the Jedi. |
| 211 | * RubberForeheadAlien: Aside from having chalk-white skin and very long fingers, she's perfectly human-like. |
| 212 | * SchrodingersCanon: Supplementary materials identify her as having been trained by the Jedi initially, only to desert the Jedi Order before becoming a full Knight. This is in-line with her backstory in ''Legends'', where she was the Padawan of An'ya Kuro/"Dark Woman", a Jedi who was too hard on her and failed to curb her aggressive tendencies, and eventually left the Jedi Order when she was captured by Sennex pirates to be sold into slavery. |
| 213 | * TheSociopath: The only people she seems to have some consideration for are Boba, Hondo, and Bane, but Boba was left behind when Aurra was left to choose between helping him and saving herself (she chose the latter). |
| 214 | * TookALevelInJerkass: She was considerably rather saner with shades of a NaiveNewcomer in ''Darth Maul'' through not being as sadistic as she chronologically will be in ''The Clone Wars''. Considering there's about a decade between the two installments, there was plenty of time for that to change her into a PsychoForHire. |
| 215 | * UndignifiedDeath: If Tobias is to be believed, he "just gave her a push" and [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou let the laws of gravity do the rest]]. |
| 216 | * WouldHurtAChild: She displays no compunctions about the idea of abandoning an escape pod full of clone children to die in space -- saving only Boba -- because the kids are witnesses to their crime. She even seems faintly amused by it (though thankfully the children are quickly rescued). |

| 229 | |
| 230 | -->''"Going somewhere, Solo?"'' |
| 231 | |
| 232 | Greedo was a Rodian bounty hunter in the employ of Jabba the Hutt. He attempted to capture Han on Tatooine, but ended up being killed by him. |
| 233 | ---- |
| 234 | * AdaptationalSelfDefense: In the Special Edition version of ''A New Hope'', he tries to shoot Han when he realizes the conversation with him isn't going so well, as opposing to not getting in a shot in the original. He misses, allowing Han to kill him. That moment quickly became so infamous, it used to be the TropeNamer. |
| 235 | * AllThereInTheScript: In the original script, Greedo outright says that Jabba wants him to kill Han. In the final cut, it's unclear if Greedo intended to take him in dead or alive, which led to Greedo shooting first in the special edition. |
| 236 | * AmusingAlien: Greedo's only purpose in ''A New Hope'' was to be a punchline for Han. |
| 237 | * AssholeVictim: While seemingly only there to kill Han for money, his wording implies that he ''personally'' wanted to kill Han and was waiting a long time to do so. He also spends his screen time being a SmugSnake while threatening Han. As such, the audience doesn't really feel sorry when Han shoots him from under a chair. |
| 238 | * BilingualDialogue: He talks in his native language when confronting Han, but his appearance in ''The Clone Wars'' reveals that he is able to speak Basic. |
| 239 | * BondVillainStupidity: Even in the original cut of the movie, in which he didn't fire at Han and miss at point-blank range, he still made the mistake of gloating to Han instead of [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just shooting him]] right after he refuses to come with him. Even if he wanted to take Han alive, blasters do have a stun setting for a reason. |
| 240 | * BountyHunter: Albeit a horribly inefficient one. |
| 241 | * ButtMonkey: In addition to being such a lousy shot, none of Greedo's jobs ever seem to work out for him, and when they do work, it's due to dumb luck. According to almost every ''From a Certain Point of View'' story featuring him that isn't his own, he gets almost no respect. |
| 242 | * CallForward: In his deleted scene in ''The Phantom Menace'', his friend warns him that he'll meet a bad end if he continues to act out in violence. Greedo should have listened. |
| 243 | * CrazyJealousGuy: In "The Luckless Rodian" (his POV story), he has a grudge against Han because he had a girlfriend that dumped him for Han. |
| 244 | * DoesNotSpeakCommon: In ''A New Hope'', he speaks to Han in Huttese, while Han [[BilingualDialogue responds in Basic]]. Some expanded universe materials see him speaking Basic, however. |
| 245 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: A retroactive yet canonical example. In the original trilogy, Greedo had blue green skin. Greedo is given a more vibrant green skin tone in ''The Phantom Menace'' and ''The Clone Wars'' to match the other members of his race. |
| 246 | * EpicFail: The Special Edition has him fire at Han Solo, but he misses by a significant margin. '''At point-blank range.''' |
| 247 | * EvilDebtCollector: He tries to bring in Han for his debt to Jabba. |
| 248 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: In the re-releases, in which Han didn't shoot first. Given how Greedo opened fire at ''point-blank range'' and missed, he could probably ''benefit'' from some time spent at the academy. |
| 249 | * LittleGreenMen: He is the size of a human though. And he looks more like a tapir than a hominid. |
| 250 | * LookBehindYou: In the original script, Han uses this trick to get the jump on Greedo. Han points out that people are watching them, so Greedo glances at the bar. When Greedo looks away, Han readies his blaster. Those lines were replaced to include lines from the Jabba scene. |
| 251 | -->'''Greedo:''' Now, will you come outside with me, or must I finish it here?\ |
| 252 | '''Han:''' I don't think they'd like another killing in here.\ |
| 253 | '''Greedo:''' ''[turns around]'' They'd hardly notice. |
| 254 | * NeverBringAGunToAKnifeFight: It was used against him in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E4SphereOfInfluence Sphere of Influence]]". After holding him and his son at gunpoint, Baron Papanoida takes Greedo hostage while holding a knife up to his neck (and he didn't get to shoot at all at that point). |
| 255 | * SmallNameBigEgo: According to "The Kloo Horn Cantina Caper", he thinks he's a highly talented bounty hunter, but in reality, he doesn't have much success. From everyone else's perspective, "He's an idiot with a gun," and since [[WretchedHive Mos Eisley already has a lot of them]], Greedo doesn't stand out much. |
| 256 | * SmugSnake: Despite his [[NoRespectGuy multiple]] [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy shortcomings]], Greedo is often way in over his head and gets humiliated often. |
| 257 | ** At one point, he has Notluwiski Papanoida hostage after he tracks him down in search of his daughter, who he kidnapped. Papanoida proceeds to break out of his grasp, and take ''him'' hostage so he can retrieve his daughter from where he's keeping her. |
| 258 | ** During one of his first jobs with Han Solo, he stole an unimportant artifact during a heist to get some extra money and not checking to see if it had a tracker on it, both after Han told him not to touch anything. This ends up getting the attention of the Corellian authorities. |
| 259 | ** He thinks he's got Han cornered, unaware that the guy prepared beforehand to put a big smoking hole in his chest while he was gloating to him. |
| 260 | * TooDumbToLive: Whether it's gloating to a notorious smuggler without checking to make sure that he's got him dead to rights in the original version, or demonstrating the ability to miss a target at [[EpicFail point-blank range]] in the [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion Special Edition]], his death scene perfectly encapsulates what everyone in Mos Eisley knows about Greedo: this guy is an ''idiot''. |

| 274 | |
| 275 | Bossk was a Trandoshan bounty hunter. During the Clone Wars, he worked alongside Aurra Sing and Boba Fett and went to prison with the latter after he was captured. He later escaped with him and joined his band of bounty hunters. During the Imperial era, Bossk was one of several bounty hunters hired to hunt down Han Solo. |
| 276 | ---- |
| 277 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: By virtue of not being an AxCrazy psychopath, Bossk is able to follow intricate plans, maintain working relationships with those he'd benefit from, and form genuine friendships. |
| 278 | * AdaptationNameChange: His full name is given as Bossk'wassak'Cradossk where ''Legends'' was content leaving him with only one name. |
| 279 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: In ''Legends'', he was an unapologetic PsychoForHire and had a deadly rivalry with Boba Fett in the latter's adult years (the times he did work with him were EnemyMine situations). While he is still antagonistic in the Canon, ''The Clone Wars'' presents Bossk as willing to be a younger Boba's bodyguard while in prison with him and loyally worked alongside him on several contracts after breaking out of prison and decided to let him have a fair fight with Cad Bane despite initially favoring the latter. In general, the new canon tends to portray him as more ruthlessly pragmatic than actively psychotic, as well as being willing to keep promises and stay loyal to those he considers friends. |
| 280 | * AffablyEvil: In stark contrast to how ''Legends'' depicted him. He's a ruthless bounty hunter with a bloodthirsty streak, but get on his good side and he can be a surprisingly good friend... as long as you don't tick him off. |
| 281 | * AnArmAndALeg: In ''War of the Bounty Hunters'', he tries to capture Boba to claim Jabba's bounty on him but ends up caught in an explosion that destroys the lower half of his legs. Being a Trandoshan, he notes that won't kill him as he can regrow limbs (and [[CastFromCalories consuming lots of protein can hasten the process]]), and has done so by ''Return of the Jedi'' a few months later. |
| 282 | * AscendedExtra: He appeared briefly in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' as one of several bounty hunters hired by Darth Vader. In ''The Clone Wars'', he gets some development and history with Boba as a minor antagonist. |
| 283 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: He is the big guy to Boba's little guy. |
| 284 | * TheBigGuy: Besides what's listed above, Bossk usually ends up being this to everybody else as well, since he's a seven foot lizard man, and all. |
| 285 | * BreakoutVillain: Bossk's appearance in the DLC season of ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront2015 Star Wars: Battlefront]]'' gave him a greatly increased profile in the fandom and among players. He was subsequently brought back as one of the base game playable heroes of the [[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017 sequel]] over the other DLC characters (Greedo, Dengar, and Krennic), and has enjoyed regular supporting appearances in media since. |
| 286 | * CanonImmigrant: Not Bossk himself, but rather his starship in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E20Bounty Bounty]]", the ''Hound's Tooth'', originated in the ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends]]'' short story collection ''Literature/TalesOfTheBountyHunters''. |
| 287 | * CoolStarship: As mentioned above, the ''Hound's Tooth''. |
| 288 | * DaddyIssues: Just like in ''Legends'', he has a very strained relationship with Cradossk. In ''Literature/EzrasGamble'', Ezra asks him about his father, and Bossk simply leaves it at "fathers are overrated". |
| 289 | ** [[SchrodingersCanon To give you an idea of how bad it was]], in ''Legends'', according to ''The Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett'', Cradossk had a memoir for Bossk... but later ''scratched out his name'' and gave it to Boba, with a message saying "For Boba Fett -- I ''wish'' you were my son." Bossk would eventually [[TheDogBitesBack lash out]] and [[MonstrousCannibalism eat him]] after [[{{Patricide}} killing him]]. |
| 290 | * TheDragon: He appears to be one for Boba Fett in ''The Clone Wars''. |
| 291 | * TheGhost: Bossk is mentioned in ''[[Film/{{Solo}} Solo]]'' as one of the few people that Val suggests to Beckett that he could have brought onto the Heist on Vandor instead of newcomers, Han Solo and Chewbacca. |
| 292 | * GoodThingYouCanHeal: ''War Of The Bounty Hunter'', Boba shoots off Bossk's legs, he snarls that it won't slow him down for long, as he can grow them back. |
| 293 | * HellishPupils: As is to be expected from a humanoid lizard. |
| 294 | * InTheHood: He wears a hooded cloak in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsTheHalcyonLegacy Halcyon Legacy]]'' whilst tracking R’Tess and Stolak. |
| 295 | * ItsPersonal: Trandoshans have a long, brutal history with their planetary neighbors, the Wookiees, which explains Bossk's specific love for hunting and killing the things. This goes especially for Chewbacca (and Han Solo by extension), whom Bossk hates so much that it contributed to [[WeUsedToBeFriends his falling out with Boba]]. |
| 296 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: In ''Legends'', Bossk and his father, Cradossk, contrast with each other in both demeanor and overall character. Cradossk is patient and experienced, Bossk is arrogant and naive. This leads to the two butting heads often, and gets to the point where Cradossk [[OffingTheOffspring attempts to indirectly kill his son.]] Once Bossk finds out, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he doesn’t take too kindly to the news.]] |
| 297 | * LizardFolk: He's a Trandoshan. |
| 298 | * KarmaHoudini: While he does end up in jail for helping Boba during his quest for vengeance against Windu, he escapes along with Boba only after about a year or even less. |
| 299 | * KickTheDog: ''Ezra's Gamble'' ends with Bossk getting greedy and swindling Ezra out of his hard-earned share of their reward, preemptively destroying their burgeoning friendship in the process. |
| 300 | * MasterPoisoner: He's heavily associated with Dioxys Grenades, which emit a highly lethal and fast acting poison. |
| 301 | * MonstrousCannibalism: He ate all of his unborn siblings right after he hatched. While it was revealed that he had a surviving sister, said sister's growth was stunted as a result of Bossk's act. |
| 302 | * NoodleIncident: While the species rivalry between Trandoshans and Wookies are a given, it has been yet to be explained why Bossk hated Chewie and Han specifically. |
| 303 | * OlderSidekick: To Boba. He also plays this role to Ezra in ''Ezra's Gamble'', [[TheStarscream but doesn't stay a sidekick that time]]. |
| 304 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Bossk direly wanted to be the one who brought in Han and Chewie in ''The Empire Strikes Back'', so much so that when Boba Fett pulled it off instead, it damages their already weakening friendship even more, causing Bossk to declare that he should have killed Boba when he had the chance. |
| 305 | * PsychoForHire: He has shades of this in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E22LethalTrackdown Lethal Trackdown]]". Aurra Sing orders Bossk to kill the hostages if she gives the word during a meeting with the Jedi. When she's unable to contact him (due to the comm antenna embedded in her skull getting cut), he decides to kill the hostages on his own volition. |
| 306 | -->'''Bossk:''' Listen up, boys. If Aurra doesn't report back soon, I'm gone... and you're both fried. |
| 307 | * ReligiousBruiser: By the time of ''Bounty Hunters'', he seems to have gotten in touch with his religious side, regularly alluding to the Scorekeeper of Trandoshan religion. |
| 308 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He is a Trandoshan and a psychotic bounty hunter. |
| 309 | * {{Sssssnaketalk}}: Particularly noticeable in the ''Darth Vader'' comics, which add quite a few s's to his dialogue. |
| 310 | * SapientEatSapient: Aside from the incident with his younger siblings, he threatened to eat Zuckuss for annoying him while trying to hasten the regeneration of his lost legs (it's not quite clear if he was serious about it, considering that eating a species that [[ExtremophileLifeforms breathes ammonia]] might actually kill him). |
| 311 | * SuddenlyVoiced: He didn't say a word in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and works in ''Legends'' indicated that he didn't speak Galactic Basic, but in the Trandoshan language. In ''The Clone Wars'', it was revealed that he spoke Basic after all. |
| 312 | * TrapMaster: He's known to use proximity grenades and traps to get the best of his prey. |
| 313 | * UndyingLoyalty: In ''The Clone Wars'', he was protective of Boba Fett. [[PetTheDog He even stands up for him in prison]]. |
| 314 | ** In an unreleased episode, an animatic showed him being with Embo and Highsinger against Boba in favor of Bane, with he and the former holding Boba at gunpoint before Boba and Bane had their MexicanStandoff. Bossk then chooses to let Boba have his chance at defeating Bane and puts his blaster away, which Embo then follows as well. |
| 315 | ** Unfortunately, this ends by the time of ''Bounty Hunters'' where their relationship has taken a huge nosedive to the point where they're at each other's throats, bringing them closer in line with their ''Legends'' counterparts who hated each other's guts. By then, any friendship or warmth Boba had felt towards Bossk had long since evaporated. |
| 316 | * VillainousFriendship: With Boba Fett during the Clone Wars. In the years after, however, the two seem to gradually drift apart. |
| 317 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Bossk was sort of a father figure to a young Boba Fett, but by the time of ''The Empire Strikes Back'' they've drifted apart so much that, in ''Bounty Hunters'', Bossk half-seriously says he should've killed Boba when he had the chance. The source of this falling out seems to be a mixture of them becoming professional rivals and Boba capturing Han Solo and Chewbacca, whom Bossk [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou had a personal grudge with and wanted to defeat]]. |

| 332 | |
| 333 | Dengar was a skilled 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. |
| 334 | ---- |
| 335 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In ''Legends'', Dengar was a ruthless bounty hunter but he had a softer side to him and a more tragic element to his story, first refusing to kill the Holy Children of Asrat when he served under the Imperials. He was also betrayed by Boba Fett under Jabba's orders on a mission to rescue his love interest and was left to die in some of Tattooine's lethal sand tides. And he would eventually get married and come to realize that there was more to life than revenge. In Canon, while he isn't out-and-out evil, he's a considerably sleazier character who's disliked by his fellow bounty hunters like Sugi and Mercurial Swift, with Beilert Valance (rightfully) seeing Dengar as a disgusting backstabber. |
| 336 | ** The reintroduction of his love interest Manaroo, who was key to Dengar's redemption in ''Legends'', in the ''War of the Bounty Hunters'' arc suggests that he will go through the same kind of character growth his ''Legends'' counterpart did. |
| 337 | * AdaptedOut: In ''Legends'', Dengar was the one who rescued Boba Fett from the Sarlaac pit and nursed him back to health. In ''The Book of Boba Fett'', it is shown that Fett actually saved himself and lived among a tribe of Tusken Raiders. |
| 338 | * AmbiguousSituation: In ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', there is a bounty hunter on Kijimi named Rothgar Deng, who is stated to be a Corellian that is not only implied to be going by an alias, but has underwent extensive black market surgery just to combat old age and stay at the top of his game. The name is an anagram of "Dengar Roth", [[MythologyGag a forged alias used by another bounty hunter to impersonate Dengar]] in ''Legends''. Whether Rothgar Deng is Dengar has neither been confirmed nor denied, but there is an in-universe rumor that they are one and the same. |
| 339 | * AscendedExtra: Downplayed, but much like Bossk, his first appearance (production-wise) was a wordless cameo in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. In ''The Clone Wars'', he gets a handful of lines as a minor character in a couple of episodes. |
| 340 | * BadassNormal: |
| 341 | ** Not only is 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 train in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E20Bounty Bounty]]". |
| 342 | ** He puts up quite a fight against Chewbacca, although that's mostly due to the tech he carries. The poor Wookiee would have been killed had Han not arrived in the nick of time. |
| 343 | * CasanovaWannabe: He tends to make passes at any woman who catches his eyes, such as Asajj Ventress. |
| 344 | -->'''Dengar:''' Hey, Bossk. Who's your girlfriend?\ |
| 345 | '''Bossk:''' Shut up, Dengar. |
| 346 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He has betrayed almost everyone he has ever worked with given the opportunity. This makes other bounty hunters extremely weary of teaming up with him as they know it is a near certainty he will stab them in the back at some point. |

| 355 | * IWasQuiteALooker: He wasn't exactly model material to begin with, but he still looks good in ''The Clone Wars''. By the time of ''The Empire Strikes Back'', he's grown sleazier and filthier, not to mention having a hideously scarred right side of his face.

| 381 | --> ''"Cad Bane at your service. I'll take on any job... for the right price."'' |
| 382 | |
| 383 | Cad Bane is a Duros bounty hunter in the galaxy, initially active during the Clone Wars. He was considered the leading bounty hunter after the death of Jango Fett. He often took jobs for the Separatist Alliance and specialized in fighting against Jedi. Bane remained active following the fall of the Republic and its successor the Galactic Empire, continuing to offer his services as a mercenary. |
| 384 | ---- |
| 385 | * TheAce: Of the bounty hunters during the Clone Wars. Even Count Dooku himself made emphasis to his reputation as the cream of the crop. |
| 386 | -->'''Count Dooku:''' Cad Bane, who needs no introduction. |
| 387 | * AlienBlood: Duros like him have green blood. As a result of getting injured by Denal before killing him, he bleeds a little onto the floor of the shuttle. One of the clone troopers notices it. |
| 388 | * AlwaysSecondBest: When Jango Fett was still alive, they were {{Rival}}s for the title of the Galaxy's Best Bounty Hunter, which was often held by the former. While the title went to him when Jango died, he was rather disappointed that they weren't able to settle the score properly. |
| 389 | * ApologeticAttacker: Says "Sorry, little lady" to Omega as he stuns her. Though how sincere this was is up to debate. |
| 390 | * ArcVillain: Whenever he appears, it's usually as one of these. |
| 391 | ** In ''The Clone Wars'', Cad Bane serves as the main antagonist for the Holocron arc, the Hunt For Ziro arc, and the Obi-Wan Undercover arc (where he replaces Moralo Eval as Dooku's [[TheDragon Dragon]]). |
| 392 | ** In ''The Bad Batch'', he shows up at the tail end of "Reunion" and is the antagonist for its follow-up, "Bounty Lost". |
| 393 | ** In ''The Book of Boba Fett'', he's hired as the DragonInChief for the Pykes in the final two episodes, leading their assault on Mos Espa. |
| 394 | * AssholeVictim: For years, Cad Bane got away with murder and many other crimes, [[spoiler:but it all catches up to him in ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' when he is murdered by his former protégée.]] |
| 395 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: Cad Bane enjoys being called a heartless killer and child kidnapper, often replying that it's what he does best when [[YouMonster people accuse him as such]]. His angry accusation of Boba as a "cold-blooded killer who works for the Empire" is less of him being a hypocrite and more of his contempt for his former protégée trying to build a new, honorable reputation for himself rather than embracing the monster he used to be. |
| 396 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:His live-action debut in the penultimate episode of ''The Book of Boba Fett'' serves as this, as he's killed by Boba in the final episode.]] |
| 397 | * BadassBoast: |
| 398 | ** His first appearance (air date wise) has him approaching a group of Senate Guards, who immediately move in to arrest him. He gives us this gem right before he and his fellow bounty hunters kill all of them. |
| 399 | --->'''Cad Bane:''' Son, I wouldn't be so hasty if I were you. |
| 400 | ** In his first chronological arc, Nute Gunray angrily demands that he better make it out alive to repay him for the ships he borrowed. Bane, who is currently onboard one of those heavily damaged ships and facing two Jedi tearing through his droids, gives this response without a hint of doubt in his voice. |
| 401 | --->'''Cad Bane:''' You can count on it. |
| 402 | ** He also gives us this line once he's caught up to [[spoiler:Omega]], his current bounty. |
| 403 | --->'''Cad Bane:''' By hook or by crook, you're coming with me. |
| 404 | * BadassLongcoat: He sports a very spiffy trench coat. |
| 405 | * BadassNormal: As a result of not being Force-sensitive in addition to being part of a species whose physical capabilities are about on par with humans, he doesn't have any superhuman powers or abilities and is still able to hold his own against Jedi in a fight - up to and including using a stolen lightsaber to fend off a Jedi Master for a few crucial seconds. |
| 406 | * BadBoss: He sacrificed Todo during a raid on the Jedi Temple, using him as an unwitting suicide bomber. Despite this, however, Todo rejoins him after being rebuilt by the Jedi and escaping from them. |
| 407 | * TheBadGuyWins: |
| 408 | ** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E22HostageCrisis Hostage Crisis]]", Bane and his group succeed in liberating Ziro from prison and escaping from the Republic. |
| 409 | ** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E1HolocronHeist Holocron Heist]]", he escapes with a holocron. |
| 410 | ** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheBadBatchS1E8Reunion Reunion]]", he manages to escape with a captured Omega. |
| 411 | * BaldOfEvil: He's naturally bald as a Duros and is one of the more evil bounty hunters in the series. |
| 412 | * BloodKnight: Cad Bane has a tendency to laugh and smile while blasting everyone dead. |
| 413 | * BoomHeadshot: An unreleased animatic depicts Cad Bane and the young Boba Fett engaging in a MexicanStandoff, in which both nail each other in the head... but Boba had a helmet. The result leaves the massive dent that Fett's helmet would carry for the rest of the saga. When he reappears in ''The Bad Batch'', he's sporting a metal plate on his head, implying that the duel still happened but he managed to survive. |
| 414 | * BreakoutVillain: The most popular non-Force user character to debut in ''The Clone Wars'' who later got a starring role as TheHeavy of ''The Book of Boba Fett''. |
| 415 | * TheBusCameBack: It’s revealed that he survived through the reign of the Empire, and by the time of ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' he’s working for the Pyke Syndicate. |
| 416 | * CardCarryingVillain: {{Downplayed}}. He's not a nice guy and would be the first to tell you he's a cold-blooded killer who takes pride in what he does but he isn't going around kicking puppies and cackling about it. He's just very aware of what he is, wears it on his sleeve, and has no shame for it. |
| 417 | * CaughtMonologuing: {{Downplayed}}. Not a monologue as such, but after [[spoiler:Bane knocks down Boba and pries off his helmet in the finale of ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', Bane wastes a few precious seconds [[EvilGloating mocking his new-found sense of honour]] and asking if he has AnyLastWords, allowing Boba to regain some strength and beat Bane down with his gaffi stick before [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice spearing him through the chest]].]] |
| 418 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: Ironically, he actually expresses this belief unlike Darth Sideous. Not enough to not take a job involving them of course. That be bad for business. |
| 419 | * ColdBloodedTorture: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E2CargoOfDoom Cargo of Doom]]", Bane and the battle droids he's been given command of inflict this on Master Ropal. |
| 420 | * CombatPragmatist: This is the key to how he holds his own against Jedi, whether it's through dirty tricks like having his droid distract his foes in a fight or taking hostages. |
| 421 | * ComicBookFantasyCasting: He's designed to resemble Creator/LeeVanCleef, while Creator/CoreyBurton based the voice on a mix of Creator/PeterLorre and Creator/LanceHenriksen[[note]]Who was originally envisioned to voice Bane[[/note]]. |
| 422 | * ConsummateLiar: He can be convincingly deceptive. For instance, he was able to convince a Rodian mother to hand over her Force-sensitive baby on the claim that there were Jedi impostors roaming the Galaxy kidnapping children (which happened to be exactly what he was doing). |
| 423 | * CoolStarship: Has 2 over his career during and after the Clone Wars, the first being the ''Xanadu Blood'', a modified Rogue-class starfighter, and the ''Justifier'', which becomes his primary starship from the unfinished Boba Fett arc and ''The Bad Batch'' onwards. |
| 424 | * CrammingTheCoffin: As part of the escape plan in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E15Deception Deception]]", he, Eval, and "Hardeen" (actually Obi-Wan in disguise) hide in chutes taking dead bodies to the crematorium. |
| 425 | * CrazyPrepared: He always stresses to have a plan for every mission. His assault on the Galactic Senate is proof enough of this. |
| 426 | * CreepySouvenir: In "Cargo of Doom", Cad Bane takes Ahsoka's Padawan braid as a trophy that he hangs from his belt after capturing her. In "Children of the Force", she takes it back after the situation reverses. |
| 427 | * {{Cyborg}}: Not to a great extent, but he has two breathing tubes inserted on his cheekbones: [[CrazyPrepared they're there so he can't be Force Choked]]. |
| 428 | * DeadpanSnarker: He's got his moments, such as when the Hutt Council was arguing over whether to continue hiring him to do their work. |
| 429 | -->'''Cad Bane:''' I'm kinda tired of being paid for this job too, but not that tired. |
| 430 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: The first half of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E18CrisisOnNaboo Crisis on Naboo]]" deals with his attempt to kidnap the head of the Republic and everything seems to wrap up once Bane's conspirators are captured. The second half presents Count Dooku, one of ''The Clone Wars''' main antagonists, launch a second kidnapping attempt, knowing the extra security had been dismissed once the Jedi felt confident Cad Bane's plot was the entirety of the conspiracy they were tracking. |
| 431 | * DragonInChief: [[spoiler:Is hired as the Pykes' enforcer and primary representative in the last two episodes of ''The Book of Boba Fett''. He brings with him a far more threatening presence than either the Mayor or the Pyke's leader, putting up a greater fight and final challenge for Boba.]] |
| 432 | * TheDreaded: He was considered the most lethal and feared bounty hunter in the galaxy during the Clone Wars. When he shows up in ''The Book of Boba Fett'', rather than give his name to [[spoiler:Cobb Vanth]] when asked, merely tilting his head up to show his full face makes the latter stop with the pleasantries. |
| 433 | -->'''Cad Bane:''' I'd be careful where I was sticking my nose if I were you. |
| 434 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: |
| 435 | ** In ''The Clone Wars''' [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E22HostageCrisis "Hostage Crisis"]] (which is his first appearance air-date wise), he and his team effortlessly infiltrates the Galactic Senate and takes numerous Senators hostage. When he declares them to be his prisoners, one of the Senators states that he won't tolerate this "insolence" and walks past him, trying to leave. Bane promptly shoots him InTheBack without even turning to look. |
| 436 | ** In [[Recap/StarWarsTheBadBatchS1E8Reunion his debut in The Bad Batch]] he gets re-introduced cockily declaring clones to be easy work before easily besting [[OneManArmy Hunter]] in a QuickDraw duel. |
| 437 | ** Cad Bane's first live-action appearance in ''The Book of Boba Fett'''s [[Recap/TheBookOfBobaFettS1E6FromTheDesertComesAStranger "From The Desert Comes a Stranger"]] has him [[spoiler:waltz into town menacingly like the villain in a SpaghettiWestern, confidently talk down to Cobb Vanth, and ruthlessly gun down both Cobb (himself enough of a QuickDraw to gun down three Pykes before they knew what hit them) and his deputy without a second thought]]. |
| 438 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 439 | ** He saves Rako Hardeen from dying in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E17TheBox The Box]]", but only because Moralo Eval fixed the last challenge so he would lose and Bane thought Hardeen at least deserved a fair fight. |
| 440 | --->'''Cad Bane:''' If you're gonna kill him, do it like a man! |
| 441 | ** He despises killers that call themselves more honorable and putting trust in friends. To him, they are all killers deep down, no matter how much they've changed since, and [[AtLeastIAdmitIt it would be far better to admit and embrace this status]]. This is also why he doesn't believe in Boba's change of heart and seeks to unleash the killer persona inside of him. |
| 442 | ** PlayedForLaughs when he is tracking Ziro through the hazardous swamps of Nal Hutta. He grows so frustrated that he outright snaps that he refuses to take any more jobs like this. |
| 443 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He doesn't understand why Boba would value things like honor and protecting the innocents. To him, Boba is the same as his father, Jango, a cold-blooded killer that works for the highest bidder, morality be damned. |
| 444 | * EvilIsPetty: |
| 445 | ** He kills a bounty hunter preparing to enter "The Box" for the right to lead the mission to kidnap Palpatine...because he had a nice hat that resembled his original one. Granted, said bounty hunter ''did'' reach for his gun first, but Bane doesn't seem particularly concerned about the specifics, just the hat. |
| 446 | --->'''Cad Bane:''' What are you looking at? 'S a nice hat! |
| 447 | ** He makes Deputy Scott pay for his impulsiveness by [[spoiler:shooting him several times, well after one direct shot clearly killed him. This is notably after he was content to leave Vanth with one shot to the shoulder, suggesting Bane was genuinely annoyed by the young man's hotheadedness.]] |
| 448 | * EvilMentor: He serves one for Boba Fett during ''The Clone Wars'', training him to be a cold-blooded bounty hunter just like his father. This is alluded to in ''The Book of Boba Fett'' where Cad Bane voices his disappointment in Boba becoming "soft" and plans to give Boba one final lesson in death or bring out the killer inside of his student. [[spoiler:He succeeds in getting the latter.]] |
| 449 | * EvilOldFolks: By the time of his final appearance (chronologically speaking) he's pushing 70 and no less vicious. If ''Legends'' lore [[SchrodingersCanon holds any truth here]], he's incredibly old by Duros standards (in ''Legends'' 50 is considered elderly for a Duros, so 70 and older is comparable to 90-100 for a human). |
| 450 | * EvilSoundsDeep: His gritty baritone voice only makes him all the more intimidating. By the time he’s in his 70’s, it’s so low and deep that he sounds every bit like the angel of death he comes across as when he wanders out of the desert to Freetown. |
| 451 | * {{Expy}}: According to Dave Filoni, he's the ''Star Wars'' version of [[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly Angel Eyes]]. |
| 452 | * FastestGunInTheWest: Might be the best QuickDraw ''in the galaxy''. No character has ever been shown to actually ''best'' him in a duel, [[spoiler: although in the unfinished episode of ambiguous canonicity young Boba seems to ''match'' his speed (and win because he had armor on, while Bane didn't). In their "rematch" several decades later, Bane easily outdraws him despite Boba already having his gun out.]] |
| 453 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He sometimes acts like this, such as when he takes over the Galactic Senate. He's initially very calm and polite to his victims before murdering one of them off-handedly. |
| 454 | * FedoraOfAsskicking: Cad Bane is almost never seen without his iconic broad-rimmed fedora. Taken to extremes later on, where he insists on getting a new nice hat after losing his first one even though it makes him stand out, then ''kills'' another bounty hunter for his fedora because it was identical to his original hat. |
| 455 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Boba's final enemy in his self-titled series.]] |
| 456 | * {{Greed}}: Bane's primary motivation is to get paid, and his services command a ''very'' high price. |
| 457 | * GunsAkimbo: His (initial) weapons of choice. |
| 458 | * TheGunslinger: Fitting with his Western motif, Bane is one of the best QuickDraw artists in the galaxy. |
| 459 | * HandCannon: His pistols pack enough punch to [[spoiler:knock down Boba in full ''beskar'' armor with a single shot during their final duel. In an unfinished episode ''The Clone Wars'', it would have been revealed that the iconic dent on Boba's helmet was made from those same pistols. That's right, enough punch to dent [[MadeOfIndestructium beskar]] itself.]] |
| 460 | * TheHeavy: For the last two episodes of ''The Book of Boba Fett'' as the plot-driving villain taking his orders from the [[BigBad Pykes]]. |
| 461 | * HiddenDepths: Though initially hostile to "Rako Hardeen" (unaware that he is Obi-Wan in disguise), Bane starts to warm up to him and intervenes to save his life more than once. Once Obi-Wan drops his guise, Bane reacts furiously at being betrayed. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Considering he almost never raises his voice]], typically responding to setbacks with little more than annoyance, it seems Bane may have genuinely appreciated their seeming partnership after all. |
| 462 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 463 | ** While still in prison clothes on Nal Hutta, Bane notes that they need to get new clothes so they don't stand out. Naturally, he goes for the first hat he can find, even though it stands out in a crowd. He's called on this, and indeed Ahsoka is able to spot him from a distance later on precisely because he's wearing the hat. |
| 464 | ** [[spoiler:When he confronts Cobb Vanth for protecting Boba, he claims Boba was a ruthless killer who worked for the Empire. Bane is an even more ruthless killer who worked for its progenitor, Darth Sidious, and he did work for the Empire in ''Legends'' (and has gone back to doing that in Canon as of ''The Bad Batch''), so he has no ground to stand on. In fact, he's proud of being a killer, only pissed off by Boba's new method of respect and honor.]] |
| 465 | ** [[spoiler:Also, when confronting Cobb, he lectures him about putting his nose in places it doesn't belong. This is coming from a guy from a species [[TheNoseless that don't have noses]].]] |
| 466 | * IKnewThereWasSomethingAboutYou: He says this to Obi-Wan, who was disguised as "Rako Hardeen", once Kenobi's cover is revealed to him. |
| 467 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:How he ultimately meets his end, at the hands of Boba's gaffi stick.]] |
| 468 | * ImpossibleTask: He acknowledges that infiltrating the Jedi Temple and stealing one of their well guarded holocrons is impossible, but before Palpatine can finish saying that perhaps Bane's reputation is overstated, Bane informs him that this just means he's going to require a much larger payment than he would for a more normal job. |
| 469 | * IndyPloy: Master practitioner of it, alongside XanatosSpeedChess. |
| 470 | * IShallTauntYou: In ''The Book of Boba Fett'', he attempts to throw Boba off his game by [[spoiler:revealing that it was the Pykes who massacred his Tusken family]] and goading Boba into having a duel rematch that he cannot win. Boba almost gives in to Bane's taunts, but Fennec is able to remind him of keeping his cool. |
| 471 | * ItsAllAboutMe: His philosophy is to look out for himself. Anything else is weakness. |
| 472 | * ItAmusedMe: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E8EvilPlans Evil Plans]]", he captures C-3PO in order to get information out of him by administering painful electrical shocks. When he learns he has grabbed the wrong droid of the duo, he dispatches his minions to grab R2-D2. While he waits for his minions to return with Artoo, he continues to zap the heck out of poor Threepio. |
| 473 | * ItsPersonal: While he did take the job from the Pyke Syndicate to get paid, it's heavily implied that he mainly took it to settle unfinished business with Boba Fett since the end of the Clone Wars. |
| 474 | * JerkAss: While Bane shows himself as a [[FauxAffablyEvil polite yet contemptuous]] bounty hunter, by the time of ''The Book of Boba Fett'', he's outright hostile and trying to push Boba Fett to retaliate. |
| 475 | * JetPack: He has jet ''boots''. He uses them to maneuver while in anti-gravity in addition to regular flight. |
| 476 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He's made a career of killing Jango clones, and mocks the idea of respect and friends, stating that looking out only for yourself is the only way to survive. He ends up being beaten by Boba Fett, the first Jango clone, who uses his gaffi stick forged by his time with his Tusken family to end the Duros' life.]] |
| 477 | * KarmaHoudini: Bane tends to finish jobs without suffering any comeuppance and when he does get captured, it's not for very long. When it seemed he landed in prison, it turns out he deliberately did so as part of another job, and it's implied that he's been imprisoned and [[CardboardPrison has broken out before]]. Indeed, while he is arrested again after the plot to kidnap Palpatine, he still didn't stay captured, as ''The Bad Batch'' shows him back at work yet again. Even further down the line, we see he’s still active as of ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett''. |
| 478 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:After living a very long life taking on jobs from the bog slime of the galaxy and being a ruthless, honorless man, Cad Bane is finally bested by Boba Fett himself, killing him with his gaffi stick.]] |
| 479 | * KickTheDog: Even after springing Ziro, he sets off the bombs surrounding the Senators anyway. Thankfully, Anakin is able to get them out. |
| 480 | * KnightOfCerebus: |
| 481 | ** "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E22HostageCrisis Hostage Crisis]]" (which is his first appearance air-date wise) marks the first point when ''The Clone Wars'' became DarkerAndEdgier. |
| 482 | ** "[[Recap/TheBookOfBobaFettS1E6FromTheDesertComesAStranger From The Desert Comes a Stranger]]" is largely a lighthearted episode focusing on the Djarin clan with Boba's end of the episode being an AsYouKnow segment to prepare for the final episode, with the prospect of an alliance between Mos Espa and Freetown being floated. Then Bane arrives, [[spoiler:mortally wounds Vanth, kills his deputy, and announces Tatooine belongs to the Pykes, who subsequently bomb the Sanctuary to make it clear they're done playing around.]] |
| 483 | * LeanAndMean: He's got a thin build and is a sociopathic mercenary. |
| 484 | * LivingLegend: Count Dooku once gathered all the greatest bounty hunters together and introduced them with their name, any titles they had, some claim to fame, etc. When he came to Cad Bane, he simply says "Cad Bane, who needs no introduction." |
| 485 | * MasterOfDisguise: Some of his plans have involved donning a disguise, either for himself or his associates. |
| 486 | ** After stealing the Holocron from the Jedi temple, he's able to leave undetected by putting on a hooded cloak resembling one of the Jedi's. He later dons a similar disguise when hunting down Force-Sensitive children for Sidious by posing as a Jedi. |
| 487 | ** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E2CargoOfDoom Cargo of Doom]]", he attempts to pose as a clone while FakingTheDead and dressing the Clone as him and shooting him in a struggle. He's eventually figured when Rex notices that [[AlienBlood his blood's green]], but he's able to keep up the guise long enough to get on the Republic Ship and use one of their starfighters to escape. |
| 488 | ** By "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E18CrisisOnNaboo Crisis on Naboo]]", he's gotten his hands on a hologram device that, when stepped into, will disguise the person as whoever the hologram creates. |
| 489 | * MeaningfulName: As a ruthless killer he is a ''bane'' on the Galaxy, and, in personality, he's a real ''cad.'' |
| 490 | * MexicanStandoff: Gets into quite a few of these. |
| 491 | ** In ''The Bad Batch'', He has a standoff with Hunter. Bane wins. |
| 492 | ** Presumably, judging from his plate on his head, he also had one with Boba at some point during ''The Clone Wars''. The duel is much closer, but Boba wins and only because he wore a helmet. Both actually drew at the same time. |
| 493 | ** He finds himself in yet another in ''The Book of Boba Fett'' against [[spoiler:Cobb Vanth and his deputy]]. Bane handily wins before either of them can fire off a shot. |
| 494 | ** He and Boba have a long-awaited rematch in the finale of ''The Book of Boba Fett'', where Bane proves quicker on the draw. |
| 495 | * MonochromaticEyes: His eyes are [[RedEyesTakeWarning solid red]], a common trait for his species. |
| 496 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His last name is '''BANE''', after all. |
| 497 | * NervesOfSteel: As a bounty hunter who specializes in jobs that will likely involve Jedi, Bane has a nearly unflappable demeanor no matter what threat he is facing. |
| 498 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: See {{Expy}} above; His appearance is basically of an alien Creator/LeeVanCleef. |
| 499 | * NotMeThisTime: Obi-Wan and Quinlan encounter him after finding Ziro's corpse, where he's quick to clear things up that he didn't do the deed. |
| 500 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: In the finale of ''The Book of Boba Fett'', he responds to Boba's accusation of being a gutless murderer with the phrase "[[{{Hypocrite}} If that's not the Quacta calling the Stifling slimy.]]" He later taunts Boba that despite his attempts to reform, he's still a cold-blooded killer deep down like Bane and his late father. |
| 501 | * NotSoStoic: |
| 502 | ** After Obi-Wan reveals his deception to Bane at the end of the Undercover Arc, the latter gets uncharacteristically angry, threatening to "reward" the Jedi Master by filling him with laser bolts. |
| 503 | ** During his battle with Fennec Shand in ''The Bad Batch'', Bane becomes utterly enraged when she tricks him into blowing up his own BriefcaseFullOfMoney. |

| 505 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He is a whoopin' 71 years old in ''The Book of Boba Fett'', yet he doesn't look much older than during ''The Clone Wars'' and his reflexes are also as sharp as ever. In fact Boba, who is only 41 years old, looks a good deal older than him. |
| 506 | * OldSoldier: He was an active bounty hunter when Boba Fett was a child. ''The Book of Boba Fett'' establishes that even into Boba's forties he is still active. He's in his early seventies at minimum, but he's still the fastest gun in the galaxy. |
| 507 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: This line sums up his work ethic best: |
| 508 | -->'''Cad Bane:''' Makes no difference to me, so long as I get paid. |
| 509 | * OralFixation: The writers even discuss how well having a toothpick works for him on the DVD feature about the Obi-Wan Undercover arc. He also threatened to slit someone's throat with said toothpick. When he appears in ''The Book of Boba Fett'', he lacks the toothpick in favor of perpetually-exposed ScaryTeeth. |
| 510 | * PassingTheTorch: In a twisted fashion, he trained Boba Fett to be a cold-blooded killer like himself so he can either surpass him (and by extension, Jango Fett) as a bounty hunter, or have Boba succeed him as the new best bounty hunter. It's also why he's rather angry at [[HeelFaceTurn Boba's new approach to business]] in ''The Book of Boba Fett'' and seeks to draw out the killer inside of him. [[spoiler:When Boba finally bests him and impales him with the gaffi stick, Bane's last words are "I knew you were a killer."]] |
| 511 | * PetTheDog: Even the ruthless Cad Bane has his moments here and there. |
| 512 | ** He saves Rako Hardeen (Obi-Wan in disguise) from Moralo Eval's rigged challenge, saying that if he wants to kill him, he should do it face to face like a man. He felt Hardeen deserved that much after carrying their skins through the Box's more lethal challenges. |
| 513 | ** He thanks the Aqualish villager who tipped him about Bayrn's Force Sensitivity by tossing some credits his way. |
| 514 | ** When Emerie asks a few too many questions, he picks up on her empathy for the kidnapped children and warns her that such questions give away more than she thinks; a subtle warning to quit before she gets herself in trouble. |
| 515 | * PragmaticVillainy: |
| 516 | ** He will promptly retreat when there's nothing to win. No need for pointless antagonizing. |
| 517 | ** Probably best shown when he comes across Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos after they find Ziro's corpse, he talks to them as if they were anyone else, and tries to avoid fighting them until Obi-Wan takes the initiative. |
| 518 | ** Shortly before that, when he confronts Mama the Hutt in her home, demanding to know where Ziro is. Once she tells Bane what he wants to know however, he leaves without killing her, as doing so simply would not have benefitted his mission in any way. |
| 519 | ** He also lets R2 and 3PO go after he extracts the information he wants from them, since destroying them would arouse suspicion. |
| 520 | ** When he's kidnapping Bayrn on Caraad, he stuns Ailish rather than killing her, since it accomplishes pretty much the same goal. |
| 521 | * PrisonRiot: He pays Boba Fett to get into a fight with "Rako Hardeen" (actually a disguised Obi-Wan) in order to start one as a means of escape. |
| 522 | * ProfessionalKiller: Bane's technically a bounty hunter, but a lot of his jobs seem to involve ''specifically killing'' people. |
| 523 | * PsychoForHire: He's only in the bounty hunting business to make himself a legendary bounty killer with the added bonus of being paid. |
| 524 | -->'''Cad Bane:''' ''[after finding Ziro the Hutt's corpse]'' I hate it when someone does my job. |
| 525 | * TheRival: [[WordOfGod According to Filoni]], Bane and Jango Fett had an ongoing rivalry to decide who was 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 during the cancelled Bounty Hunter arc in ''The Clone Wars'' was that he hoped that Boba could take Jango's place and settle the rivalry indirectly. The canon status of this is unknown, and considering he’s still alive come ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'', if his showdown with Boba happens it will be further down the timeline than originally intended. [[spoiler: He returns in ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' working against Boba for the Pyke Syndicate.]] |
| 526 | * RefugeInAudacity: The trick he used to kidnap the Rodian infant in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E3ChildrenOfTheForce Children of the Force]]": he disguised himself as a Jedi and claimed he had to take the child from his mother because "impostors" posing as Jedi had been kidnapping other children! |
| 527 | * RocketBoots: He uses these to fly to the point at which he breaks into the Jedi Temple, and to control his fall in the vertical sections of the vents. |
| 528 | * SadisticChoice: One of his tactics for getting the upper hand on Jedi is putting innocents and loved ones in danger, forcing the Jedi to divert their attention towards them rather take Bane out. |
| 529 | * ScaryTeeth: Unlike a lot of other Duros, Cad Bane has some very noticeably sharp-looking teeth. When he shows up in live-action in ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', his teeth are even sharper and scarier-looking and are perpetually exposed. |
| 530 | * ShoutOut: His fedora strongly resembles the one worn by ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', another Lucasfilm property. He even considers taking a near-exact replica while in a pawn shop during Season 4. |
| 531 | * SmugSuper: He’s the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, knows it and shows off. |
| 532 | * SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:Before he gets impaled by Boba's gaffi stick, Cad Bane manages to spit out his last words to his former protege and rival, stating that he always knew that Boba was a killer deep down despite his attempts to reform outward.]] |
| 533 | * TheStrategist: [[TheAce Part of what makes him so good at his job]] is that he attempts to plan for almost every possible eventuality. While he is also excellent at XanatosSpeedChess, he prefers to not have to resort to it. |
| 534 | * TheSociopath: High-functioning enough so that it doesn't get in the way of his work; but he's a cold-blooded killer who sees virtue and friendship to be weaknesses, lacks empathy and has very few moral standards in his work, and he has a stimulus need to take up dangerous, murderous work even when he's old enough to retire in peace. Any partnership he has with other bounty hunters is simply a matter of professional pragmatism, and he only mentors young Boba Fett to be the best bounty hunter so ''he'' can challenge him into a duel and prove himself to be better than Jango. |
| 535 | * StrongAndSkilled: Much like his old rival Jango, Cad Bane is amazingly skilled and strong enough overwhelm the younger Fennec Shand in close quarters combat despite his skinny frame. |
| 536 | * SuperWristGadget: Part of his original arsenal was a box on his wrist, that worked as a communicator, a taser, a multifunction remote control, a flamethrower, and some type of pistol. After breaking Moralo Eval out of prison, he acquired another slightly tamer version that sprayed stun-gas to his opponent's face and also worked as a [[GrapplingHookPistol grappling-cable launcher]]. |
| 537 | * SuperhumanTrafficking: He was paid by Sidious to kidnap and deliver Force-sensitive children. |
| 538 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: |
| 539 | ** His character was created as a replacement for Durge of ''Legends''' ''ComicBook/StarWarsRepublic'' and ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' fame, and like Durge, he is an alien {{Cyborg}} BountyHunter with an AxCrazy personality who works for the Separatists, uses guns, jets, and flamethrowers, and can face off against Jedi. Also, just like Durge was a personal enemy to Boba Fett, Bane is the same towards ''Jango'' Fett. Funnily enough, Durge would eventually migrate over to Canon. |
| 540 | ** Also, with Jango having died in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and Boba not having the legendary status he would soon have, he could be seen as something of a Fauxgo Fett. He's a BadassNormal capable of matching [[MagicKnight Jedi]] who often {{Dual Wield}}s blasters that he uses like a cowboy[[note]] which in Bane's case is further emphasized by his hat and BadassLongcoat[[/note]], has a similar blue ColorMotif and is capable of some manner of {{Flight}}, though with TrickedOutShoes as opposed to a JetPack, and have a variety of other gadgets such as wrist-mounted flame-throwers and grappling hooks. Plus, both held the title of Best Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy, though for Bane this was because Jango was dead. |
| 541 | * TrickedOutShoes: Along with having rockets that allow him to fly, his boots appear to have a magnetism function, which he uses in his first confrontation with Anakin and Ahsoka to stay on the ground when he turns off the ship's gravity. |
| 542 | * TheUnfettered: Once Bane has taken a job, he will do ''anything'' to fulfill it, and by extension, get his payday. |
| 543 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Slightly similar to Count Dooku, he starts off as FauxAffablyEvil in his debut but over time, he starts becoming smugger and more outright hostile toward his targets. |
| 544 | * VillainExitStageLeft: Bane has made a habit of making an escape whenever he completes a bounty or gets captured. |
| 545 | ** After stealing the holocron, he puts on a Jedi's cloak and just casually walks out. |
| 546 | ** When captured while trying to steal a force-sensitive child from the Gungans, he leads Mace, Obi-Wan and Cody to his hideout and tricks them into activating his security system, giving him a chance to get to an escape pod while they're distracted. |
| 547 | * VillainRespect: It's usually downplayed, but Bane is not against showing some passive, if condescending respect to his enemies if he feels like they're sufficiently skilled enough. |
| 548 | ** When they cross paths, Bane tips his hat to Fennec Shand, but warns her that she's not experienced enough to be going up against him. He agrees to a peaceful exchange at first, implicitly also giving her the opportunity to gain more experience and not end her career so quickly. Fennec proves to be enough of a fight, though, that the older bounty hunter has to really work for his victory and even then they effectively end the fight in a draw when Omega escapes. |
| 549 | ** He tells Boba Fett that [[spoiler:he should have left Cobb Vanth his armor.]] This seems to imply that Bane thinks Cobb was skilled enough [[spoiler:that with the armor to protect him, Vanth would’ve had a good chance at holding his own against him.]] |
| 550 | * VillainousUnderdog: Bane often took jobs against Jedi and caused them a great deal of trouble, despite having zero Force ability himself. |
| 551 | * VillainousValour: Cad Bane stares down Boba astride a rancor without a hint of fear, and manages to drive it off with his flamethrower before outshooting the younger and armored Boba. Bane even has enough grace to tell Boba that there's no shame in defeat, and even at the (literal) point of death, doesn't show a hint of fear or lose his cool. |
| 552 | * VirtueIsWeakness: Though he may have partnered and respected many fellow bounty hunters, he ultimately looks down upon friendship and virtues to be nothing more than weaknesses to exploit. |
| 553 | -->'''Cad Bane:''' Consider this my final lesson. Look out for yourself. Anything else is weakness. |
| 554 | * VocalEvolution: |
| 555 | ** Bane's voice in ''The Bad Batch'' sounds noticeably different than in ''The Clone Wars''. The modulation was toned down considerably and he gained a noticable Southern inflection, which further adds to the character's Western outlaw homage. |
| 556 | ** [[spoiler:In ''The Book of Boba Fett'', his voice is a good deal raspier and lower than previous appearances, presumably a result of 25+ years of age since his last appearance.]] |
| 557 | * TheWorfEffect: |
| 558 | ** When he returns on ''The Bad Batch'', he takes Hunter, a seasoned clone, down with a single shot. |
| 559 | ** [[spoiler:He's shown easily defeating an admittedly distracted Cobb Vanth in his debut in ''The Book of Boba Fett''. This was after Vanth had already been established to be a worthy sharpshooter in his own right, to show that the Pykes are stepping up their game in conquering Tatooine.]] |
| 560 | * WorthyOpponent: |
| 561 | ** Implied to be regarded as one by Darth Sidious himself. Coruscant itself was effectively brought to its knees by Bane’s hostage crisis in the Senate, with Palpatine on the back foot the entire episode and unable to even resort to using the Force to fight back. It’s probably one of the few times Sidious is completely helpless and forced to acquiesce to an opponent. All Palpatine can do is glare and fume at being on the receiving end of Bane’s handiwork. |
| 562 | ** He sees Jango Fett as his best mentor and friendly rival in the bounty hunter business. The two had respect for one another, specializing in Jedi killing and ruthless efficiency, and Bane was disappointed that Jango's untimely death meant that he could never know if he would one day surpass his mentor as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. This is why he trained young Boba Fett to be just as efficient and ruthless as his father so he can have a second shot at it. |
| 563 | * WouldHurtAChild: |
| 564 | ** In ''Clone Wars'' his only response to Darth Sidious hiring him to kidnap innocent children was to remark that the crime seemed "small time" for [[BigBad the likes of Sidious]], and that it made no difference to him as long as he was paid for it. |
| 565 | ** In ''Bad Batch'', he has no problem with kidnapping Omega. Although he did not hesitate to kill all the clones who were ordered to kill her, because the Kaminoans wanted her alive. He also had no problem abducting children for their Force Sensitivity and high M-counts on behalf of the Empire's Advanced Science Division. |
| 566 | * XanatosSpeedChess: He's proven to be very capable at modifying his plans on the fly. |

| 577 | |
| 578 | -->''"I am a techno-service droid, not a butler droid."'' |
| 579 | |
| 580 | Todo 360 was Cad Bane's techno-service droid and an excellent hacker. He did not like it when he's treated like or called a "butler droid". Bane used him as an unwitting suicide bomber during his infiltration of the Jedi Temple, but the Jedi rebuilt him to get information out of him and he found his way back to his master. |
| 581 | ---- |
| 582 | * AllThereInTheManual: Supplementary material states that the Jedi rebuilt him after he was used as a bomb to get information out of him. He didn't tell them anything and he left. |
| 583 | * BatmanGambit: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E8EvilPlans Evil Plans]]", he is able to bait [=R2-D2=] out of hiding by claiming that he would dismantle [=C-3PO=] himself. |
| 584 | * TheBusCameBack: He returns in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E9HuntForZiro Hunt for Ziro]]" after being destroyed during the Holocron arc. He returns again in ''The Bad Batch'' alongside Cad Bane. |
| 585 | * ButtMonkey: Particularly in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E1HolocronHeist Holocron Heist]]", where he does not get even a little respect from both Cad Bane and Cato Parasitti. See also WhyAmITicking. In ''The Bad Batch'', Hunter shoots Todo's foot off by accident when Bane incapacitates him. After that, Bane leaves him to do the repairs by himself, setting him up to be tricked by Omega. |
| 586 | * {{Determinator}}: He's more persistent than his fragile frame would have you believe. No matter how many times he's knocked down, Todo always comes back to be a pain for whoever Cad Bane sends him after. |
| 587 | * TheDragon: For Cad Bane whenever he needed a reliable partner. |
| 588 | * EvilCounterpart: Possibly to [=C-3PO=]. |
| 589 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He's very polite most of the time, and quite proud of his function as a techno-service droid, but if Cad Bane is after someone, Todo will drop the affability and act more like an arrogant SmugSnake in front of his captor. |
| 590 | * HaveIMentionedIAmADwarfToday: He would like to remind you that he is a techno-service droid, not a butler droid. |
| 591 | * MoralMyopia: [[spoiler:As Omega points when he complains about Hunter shooting his leg off, Hunter was protecting her from him and Bane.]] |
| 592 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E1HolocronHeist Holocron Heist]]", he was a ButtMonkey for the most part. During the Ziro the Hutt arc, he is both successful in being able to capture C-3PO and R2-D2 and assists Cad Bane a bit in his fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos. |
| 593 | * OhCrap: He has two moments of this trope in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E1HolocronHeist Holocron Heist]]". First, when he realizes he has no memory of having any memory crashes (suggesting he did have them) and then when he realizes that he's about to explode. |
| 594 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: He's about the same height as Yoda, but he's strong enough to tackle a standard humanoid off their feet or keep a Jedi from striking a death blow. |
| 595 | * PluckyComicRelief: A bit of a stark contrast to his master. |
| 596 | * PragmaticVillainy: He gives the about to be abducted Bayrn his favorite toy, not out of kindness, but because a happy kid would be easier to transport than a sad one. |
| 597 | * RobotBuddy: To Cad Bane in all of his appearances, sans ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett''. |
| 598 | * ServileSnarker: He's shown to be pretty sarcastic to his master as well some of his partners. |
| 599 | -->'''Cato Parasitti:''' Who are you?\ |
| 600 | '''Todo 360:''' I am Todo 360, techno-service droid. Who are you?\ |
| 601 | '''Cato:''' None of your business.\ |

| 604 | -->'''Todo 360:''' Noble? Yes. Wise? I think not. |
| 605 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Cad Bane, despite all the abuse he puts him through, including turning him into a bomb without his consent. Even when Omega points out how poorly Bane treats him, Todo never considers turning against him. |
| 606 | * WeCanRebuildHim: Anakin rebuilt him after the holocron theft to get some intel on Bane, but Todo refused and fled. |
| 607 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's not seen alongside Bane during the latter's appearances in ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', nor is it explained what happened to him. |
| 608 | * WhyAmITicking: Bane used him as an unwitting suicide bomber in his debut appearance (you can even find the dialogue in the quotes for the trope). He is rebuilt shortly afterwords. |

| 613 | !!Embo |
| 614 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/embo_swe_7.png]] |
| 615 | !!!'''Species:''' Kyuzo |
| 616 | !!!'''Homeworld:''' Phatrong |
| 617 | |
| 618 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaveFiloni |
| 619 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''Literature/DarkDisciple'' | ''[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd Empire's End]]'' |
| 620 | |
| 621 | --> ''"You're outmanned, laserblade."'' |
| 622 | |
| 623 | Embo was a Kyuzo bounty hunter who lived during the era of the Clone Wars. He carried a bowcaster and wore a large-rimmed circular hat, which he used as a weapon or a shield. Embo was known to work as part of Sugi's band of bounty hunters, though on his own he was renowned as one of the most skilled bounty hunters of his time, at one point managing to match the Jedi Anakin Skywalker. He also owned a pet anooba named Marrok and a saucer-shaped starship called the Guillotine. |
| 624 | ---- |
| 625 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Count Dooku once gathered all the greatest bounty hunters together and introduced them with their name, any titles they had, some claim to fame, etc. When reached Embo, he said "Your bounty tally was second only to one last season," before turning to [[TheAce Cad Bane]]. |
| 626 | * AutomaticCrossbows: Justified, as his weapon is a bowcaster. |
| 627 | * BadassBandolier: It enhances the Sergio Leone-esque style of his appearance. |
| 628 | * BadassNormal: Only because he doesn't have Force powers. Some of it is also due to how the Kyuzo adapted to Phatrong's high gravity. Nevertheless, he actually manages to go toe-to-toe with Darth Maul and Savage Opress and hold his own. |
| 629 | * BaldOfEvil: Doesn't have a single hair strand on his head and has opposed heroic characters more than once. |
| 630 | * BilingualDialogue: Whenever he does speak, it's always in his Kyuzo language and ''The Clone Wars'' doesn't subtitle alien languages and relies on Basic-speaking characters to interpret what he says. The quote above is an official translation of his first line. The easiest line to translate without an interpreter is the time he complimented Marrok for fetching his hat. |
| 631 | * TheCameo: He's quite prone to pop up here-and-there, thanks to [[EnsembleDarkHorse his popularity among fans]]. |
| 632 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E17BountyHunters Bounty Hunters]]" (his first appearance), he acted in a noble manner, defending a peaceful farming colony from the marauding depredations of Hondo and his crew. Every subsequent appearance has him engaging in decidedly less-than-noble endeavors such as kidnapping (Chancellor Palpatine), assassination attempts (Rush Clovis), or performing bodyguard duties for beings who were every bit as crooked as Hondo if not moreso (the Hutts). Granted, some of the people he attempted to either kidnap or assassinate weren't exactly saints themselves, but most of his appearances after "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E17BountyHunters Bounty Hunters]]" are a far cry from his initial portrayal as the NobleDemon who helped the weak. |
| 633 | * CoolMask: He wears a respirator mask due to Kyuzo having very sensitive lungs (that doesn't mean oxygen is toxic to them). It still looks cool on him. |
| 634 | * CreatorCameo: He's voiced by the installment's supervising director, Dave Filoni. |
| 635 | * {{Heavyworlder}}: As with all Kyuzo. Their homeworld Phatrong has very high gravity. |
| 636 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Or rather, morally flexible bounty hunters love Anoobas. He has a soft spot for Marrok, who very much acts like a dog when he isn't trying to rip someone's throat out. |
| 637 | * HitmanWithAHeart: While he does routinely kill people for money, Embo has a soft spot for Marrok and his friends in the bounty hunting community, particularly Sugi and her niece Jas Emari. [[spoiler:He even decides to help out Jas during the Battle of Jakku after initially helping capture her for Black Sun, although he was slightly motivated by a possible one million credit bounty she offered to lead him to]]. |
| 638 | * HonoraryUncle: Jas considers him one, having known Embo well during her childhood due to his friendship with her aunt Sugi. Jas even learned to speak Kyuzo from him. |
| 639 | * JumpPhysics: His jumps are outclassed only by Jedi. Justified as the Kyuzo homeworld, Phatrong has very high gravity, allowing his species to jump higher than most species adapted to standard gravity. |
| 640 | * KarmaHoudini: Sometimes, when it comes to his [[PunchClockVillain more villainous jobs]]. He was captured for his part in Count Dooku's plan to kidnap Palpatine, but he didn't stay in Republic custody for long since he's seen free two episodes later. In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E5AnOldFriend An Old Friend]]", he stages a few assassination attempts on Rush Clovis (and kills Teckla Minnau when she was sabotaging the Vault's power system) and when those attempts seemingly fail, it turns out that Embo completed his job by getting Clovis to flee from Scipio. [[spoiler:After the Battle of Jakku, Embo ends up receiving a pardon from a very reluctant New Republic for his crimes after Jas Emari testifies on his behalf for the help he gave her during the battle]]. |
| 641 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E14Eminence Eminence]]", when Maul, Savage, and Death Watch attack. |
| 642 | * LightningBruiser: Embo is incredibly quick and agile, strong enough easily snap necks bare-handed and has survived attacks that would kill most unarmored non-Force users. Justified, as Phatrong's high gravity forced the Kyuzo as a species to develop stronger bones and muscles. |
| 643 | * MadeOfIron: Thanks to his species' general durability, he survived getting shot by a tank (only being badly injured and getting a broken arm) and a beating from Savage Opress, a guy who is already known for killing people with his bare hands and being physically stronger than him. He also wears an incredibly durable and heavy helmet that could potentially break the necks of physically weaker species just from being worn. |
| 644 | * NeckSnap: It seems to be a [[SignatureMove favorite move of his]]. |
| 645 | * PetTheDog: |
| 646 | ** Both literally and in the definition of the trope. At the end of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E5AnOldFriend An Old Friend]]", he compliments Marrok for bringing his hat back to him, all after a failed attempt to assassinate Rush Clovis (except he wasn't really trying to kill Clovis in the first place). |
| 647 | ** In ''Empire's End'', Embo lets [[spoiler:Jas Emari escape him and the other bounty hunters chasing her due to his friendship with her and her aunt Sugi. At the end of the novel, he sides with Dengar in killing Mercurial Swift and letting Jas take over control of their bounty hunter band.]] |
| 648 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Kyuzo tend to produce a lot of warriors, most of which have a high sense of honor and justice. Embo displays this by sometimes working with Sugi, a similarly honor-bound bounty hunter, and when he's antagonistic, he's a PunchClockVillain at worst. |
| 649 | * PunchClockVillain[=/=]PunchClockHero: Due to his career of choice, he'll work against the heroes if he's hired to, but Embo doesn't seem to actually bear any malice towards the Jedi, despite usually working for villainous characters in most of his non-cameo appearances. In his first appearance, he and Sugi worked alongside Jedi to protect farmers from pirates that were trying to extort them. |
| 650 | * ShieldSurf: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E5AnOldFriend An Old Friend]]", he uses his shield-like hat as a makeshift snowboard to pursue Clovis down a mountain. |
| 651 | * ShoutOut: His species name is one to [[Film/SevenSamurai Kyuzo]], the taciturn and highly skilled ronin. |
| 652 | * SpectacularSpinning: Embo indulges in flashy acrobatics even when they aren't strictly necessary. Special mention goes to "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E17TheBox The Box]]", where he makes an impressive spinning leap out of a hole in the floor, rather than simply climbing out as everyone else did. |
| 653 | * TheStoic: He's pretty quiet most of the time and keeps his sentences short, but... |
| 654 | * WeaponizedHeadGear: He can use his hat as [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe a blaster-proof shield]], or as a weapon by [[ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks throwing it]] with [[DeadlyDisc lethal precision]]. According to ''Dark Disciple'', his hat is stated to be pretty heavy and would probably require strong neck muscles to wear without getting thrown off balance. |

| 657 | [[folder:Marrok]] |
| 658 | !!Marrok |
| 659 | !!!'''Species:''' Anooba |
| 660 | |
| 661 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''Literature/DarkDisciple'' |
| 662 | |
| 663 | A loyal and well-trained Anooba, Marrok was the Kyuzo bounty hunter Embo’s faithful companion, assisting his master in a number of adventures during the Clone Wars. |
| 664 | ---- |
| 665 | * BadassAdorable: Anoobas are usually vicious pack animals and Marrok is no exception. However, towards Embo and his friends/allies, Marrok acts like a house dog when he's not fighting. For example, he hands Embo a probe droid like a tennis ball as if he wants to play fetch and retrieves Embo's hat like a Frisbee whenever he loses it, even in dangerous situations. He also gave Darth Maul a good fight. |
| 666 | * BusCrash: Embo appears in ''Empire's End'', roughly twenty-five years after the Clone Wars, but Marrok has died since then, presumably from old age. |
| 667 | * CanineCompanion: Until his off-screen death years before the Battle of Jakku, he has accompanied Embo in all of his appearances after the Obi-Wan Undercover arc. |
| 668 | * CuddleBug: From the perspective of Embo's enemies, Marrok is just like any other Anooba. To Embo and some his associates (especially Sugi's niece, Jas Emari), he's a big softy when he's not fighting. |
| 669 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike the anoobas introduced in the Citadel arc, Marrok has white fur and doesn't have a large single tooth underbite. He is also much smaller than them, the size of a medium large dog, while the ones featured during the Citadel arc were roughly the size of a lion, although this might just indicate that he is not fully grown yet. |

| 684 | Sugi was a Zabrak bounty hunter who, unlike most of her colleagues, had a code of honor that kept her from turning on her clients on a bribe. She even formed a band of like-minded bounty hunters. |

| 686 | * ActionGirl: She is a highly capable bounty hunter. |
| 687 | * BadassNormal: She has no Force powers, but is a very capable fighter. |
| 688 | * TheCameo: She tends to appear in the background in BadGuyBar scenes. Her most famous one, though, is her TheCavalry moment below. |
| 689 | * TheCavalry: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E22WookieeHunt Wookiee Hunt]]", where she brings Wookiee warriors (who hired her for the ride) to save Ahsoka, Chewbacca, and the younglings. |
| 690 | * CoolStarship: Her light freighter, the ''Halo''. |
| 691 | * DeadpanSnarker: She refers to Obi-Wan as a "peacekeeper who fails to keep the peace" when he talks about the need to prioritize the Jedi's mission over helping the farmers. |
| 692 | * FacialMarkings: As is traditional for Zabrak. |
| 693 | * TheHeart: When she is a part of a bounty group, the group will be more noble and less self-serving, best seen with Embo and Latts, who are much less moral and more self-serving outside her group. |
| 694 | * HornedHumanoid: It comes with being a Zabrak. |
| 695 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E14Eminence Eminence]]", once it becomes clear that they're no match for Maul, Savage, and Pre Vizsla, Sugi and her fellow bounty hunters decide to just cut their losses and run. |
| 696 | * TheMentor: Trained her niece Jas to be a bounty hunter and passed along her code of honor to her. |
| 697 | * NobleDemon: Although she is a Bounty Hunter (not traditionally the most noble of professions), almost every known job that Sugi's taken so far has been a morally positive one (defending helpless farmers in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E17BountyHunters Bounty Hunters]]" and helping rescue Ahsoka and the others in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E22WookieeHunt Wookiee Hunt]]"; the only questionable one would be bodyguard duty for the Hutts in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E14Eminence Eminence]]", but even then, it was merely a protection job) and she shows concern toward her fellow Bounty Hunters. |
| 698 | * ThePreciousPreciousCar: Or ship in this case. Minor example. In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E22WookieeHunt Wookiee Hunt]]", she warned Tarfful that if her ship was damaged, it would cost them extra. |
| 699 | * ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: She refused an offer from Hondo to stand aside in exchange for double what the farmers were paying her, simply remarking that "we don't break deals". |

| 713 | Cato Parasitti was a Clawdite bounty hunter who was an associate of Cad Bane's. She, along with Todo 360, aided him during his infiltration of the Jedi Temple for a holocron, taking on the form of recently-killed Jedi Master Ord Enisence to work as an inside woman in the Temple until she was captured and Bane left her for dead. |

| 715 | * TheCameo: She can be seen two seasons later out of Jedi custody in the Mos Eisley cantina in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E20Bounty Bounty]]" and "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E22Revenge Revenge]]". |
| 716 | * CoolMask: She wears a rather creepy-looking, insect-like mask in her default form. |

| 719 | * DesignatedGirlFight: She has one between her and Ahsoka. |
| 720 | * TheDogBitesBack: Bane left her to be captured, so Cato revealed who his next target was to the Jedi. |
| 721 | * {{Expy}}: She seems to be based on fellow Clawdite bounty hunter Zam Wesell, except that her shapeshifting is actually important to the plot. |
| 722 | * HolographicDisguise: She uses this for her clothing whenever she's impersonating someone. |
| 723 | * LizardFolk: As a Clawdite, she has a vaguely chameleon look, aided by her shapeshifting abilities. |
| 724 | * TheMole: She works as one inside the Jedi Temple during the Holocron vault raid. |
| 725 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: For Clawdites, ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing. To work around this, she uses a HolographicDisguise system to imitate the clothes of whoever she's mimicking. When it comes to mimicking specific people, it's implied she cannot mimic them based solely on what she sees (the shapeshifting already requires a lot of concentration), but also needs to be familiar with their entire anatomy (especially when they are a species with a radically different skeletal and organ structure from hers), as she often touches the subject before impersonating them (presumably as a way to "scan" their body). |
| 726 | * RubberForeheadAlien: Aside from the shapeshifting, Clawdites are this in their [[ShapeShifterDefaultForm default form]]. |
| 727 | * ShapeshifterBaggage: Subverted. She can take on the form of any humanoid even if their morphology is different (such as a Skrilling, which have three-fingered hands and multiple nostrils), but she uses a holographic disguise system to alter her clothing. However, Clawdites in general cannot change their mass or into much smaller or larger creatures (however, some Clawdites have saline pumps to work around this limitation). |
| 728 | * UnskilledButStrong: While she, as Ahsoka points out, lacks Master Nu's skill in lightsaber combat, she's still able to put up a decent fight with some SheFu and reflexes she likely picked up from her experience as a Bounty Hunter. |
| 729 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: As a Clawdite, she can shapeshift and pass unidentified in large crowds. |
| 730 | * WouldHarmASenior: She has no qualms knocking out [[CoolOldLady Jocasta Nu]] to take on her appearance while infiltrating the Jedi temple library. |

| 741 | |
| 742 | Castas was a cowardly Klatooinian bounty hunter who worked with Aurra Sing, Bossk, and Boba Fett during the latter's quest for vengeance against Mace Windu. He contributed nothing to the group and his partners weren't very fond of him either. |
| 743 | ---- |
| 744 | * AssholeVictim: Aside from Boba's regrets about working with [[TheCorrupter Aurra]], no one really mourned for him (even his offworld contact, Fong Do, was only lamenting that Castas didn't give his information before he was shot), and his corpse was unceremoniously dragged out of Hondo's bar after his death. |
| 745 | * BoomHeadshot: How Aurra kills him. |
| 746 | * CharacterDeath: He is killed by Aurra when he tried to sell her out. |
| 747 | * DirtyCoward: A trait that earns him both Aurra's and Boba's ire. |
| 748 | * EyeScream: He was already missing an eye, but he was most likely hit in the other eye when Aurra shot him in the head. |
| 749 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Although Bossk seems indifferent. |
| 750 | * {{Gonk}}: [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Klatooinian/Canon Klatooinians]] are hardly a beautiful species in the first place, but Castas looks even more thuggish than they usually do (most of them can at least stand up straight like most other humanoids). |
| 751 | * HateSink: Unlike a lot of bounty hunters in ''Star Wars'', Castas seems deliberately made to be uncool. He only works with Aurra Sing as a business opportunity, he's a DirtyCoward, he's a {{Jerkass}} to Boba Fett (even threatening to beat him up for calling him out on his work ethic), and he's nearly useless to Boba and Aurra's team in the former's revenge quest against Mace Windu. Suffice to say, no one complained after Aurra puts a blaster bolt in his back (except for Castas's associate Fong Do, but that's more because of the wasted opportunity for information). |
| 752 | * {{Jerkass}}: He is not a pleasant guy to work with, to say the least. |
| 753 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Aurra agreed with him only once, when the wreckage of the ''Endurance'' became too dangerous to investigate further. |
| 754 | * TheLoad: To both Boba Fett and Aurra Sing due to his constant complaining yet doing virtually nothing to contribute during the former's quest for vengeance against Mace Windu. |
| 755 | * NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat: He didn't find it likely that Windu could have survived the bombing aboard the ''Endurance's'' wreckage. |
| 756 | * PrimalStance: He has terrible posture. |
| 757 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the many risks Boba and his crew took in his quest to kill Mace Windu, including the destruction of a Republic warship, he decided that he had enough and left as soon as they landed on Florrum. |
| 758 | * SpannerInTheWorks: If Castas hadn't tried to sell Aurra Sing out to Fong Do (who was then overheard discussing this with an offworld member of the Ohnaka Gang), Ahsoka and Plo Koon ultimately wouldn't have tracked Aurra and Boba Fett to Florrum in time. |
| 759 | * TooDumbToLive: He really should've known better than to try and sell Aurra out on a public communications terminal when she's within earshot (or reception range for her communications antenna), even inside a noisy bar. |
| 760 | * WouldHurtAChild: Attempted to beat up Boba when he called him out on his poor work ethic, but Aurra made him back off when she pointed her blaster at his head. |

| 772 | Latts Razzi was a Theelin bounty hunter who was active during the Clone Wars. After working with the hunter group Krayt's Claw, Razzi founded the Razzi Syndicate and attempted to compete against the Pykes and Crimson Dawn. |
| 773 | ---- |

| 775 | * BadassNormal: She is a skilled fighter, and managed to fight Savage Opress and Darth Maul (and took down at least one Mandalorian warrior) and lived to tell the tale. |
| 776 | * BadBoss: Executes one of her underlings in the Razzi Syndicate for annoying her with suggestions. |
| 777 | * FragileSpeedster: She's very quick, but she clearly feels what few hits her enemies manage to land. |
| 778 | * InkSuitActor: Her resemblance to her voice actor is uncanny. |
| 779 | * InformedAbility: The databank states she has [[ImprobableAimingSkills pinpoint accuracy with a blaster]], but she's only been seen using her blaster pistol once in a blink-or-you'll-miss-it moment during her battle with Darth Maul's Shadow Collective on Nal Hutta. And that one time she was using it, all of her shots were either blocked and/or missed. |
| 780 | * KickChick: Nearly all of her melee attacks (that don't involve her grappling boa) are kicks. |

| 782 | * PerkyFemaleMinion: She is much less serious about her job than any other bounty hunter and seems to find it enjoyable. |
| 783 | * PunchClockVillain: Just like many bounty hunters, her allegiance is only to whose paying her. Although in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E14Eminence Eminence]]", she saves Embo and Sugi, allowing the group of bounty hunters to escape. |
| 784 | * RubberForeheadAlien: She is a Theelin. |
| 785 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: Her grappling boa not only looks stylish on her, it's also useful as a weapon, making it a scarf ''for'' asskicking as well. |
| 786 | * UncertainDoom: Boba reflects in ''[[Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewTheEmpireStrikesBack Wait For It]]'' that none of the other former Krayt's Claw members know what ultimately happened to Razzi, with the last mention of her noting that her syndicate was struggling against other criminal organizations. |
| 787 | * VillainousFriendship: Latts is a PunchClockVillain at worst, but she seems to share a friendship with Ventress, at least to the point where they share a drink. In ''Literature/DarkDisciple'', Latts is the only bounty hunter to not be angry with Ventress and actually defends her when people started speaking ill about her. |

| 961 | ---- |
| 962 | * AffablyEvil: While celebrating "killing" Obi-Wan, Hardeen buys a round for everyone in the cantina. |
| 963 | * AmbiguousSituation: He is from Concord Dawn, a Mandalorian world and his "Marksman of Concord Dawn" moniker wouldn't be out of place among their warrior culture. However, any other potential connections he has to the Mandalorians (or status as a Mandalorian) has not been brought up. |
| 964 | * BaldOfEvil: This resulted in Obi-Wan shaving his own head when posing as Hardeen. |

| 968 | * InformedAbility: We don't really see much of what the real Rako Hardeen is capable of beyond 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. |
| 969 | * MuggedForDisguise: Subverted. He was set up to "kill" Obi-Wan, who then had plastic surgery to change his face to look like Hardeen's and then had Hardeen's gear taken from him to complete the disguise. |
| 970 | * TattooedCrook: He's got an elaborate tattoo on his face. When Obi-Wan had his face surgically reshaped to match Hardeen's, the tattoo was included. |

[[AllThereInTheManual According to the online trivia slideshow]] for "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E17TheBox The Box]]", there would have been a scene where Captain Rex was caught by Anakin Skywalker taking the real Hardeen into hiding, but it was cut because the writers felt it would be out of character for Rex to withhold information from Anakin. |

| 1010 | 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. |
| 1011 | ---- |
| 1012 | * 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. |
| 1013 | * BizarreAlienBiology: He can inject himself with an electrolytic serum that would kill most other lifeforms, and with which he can pass through ray shields unharmed. |

| 1017 | * JetPack: He wears one that helped him escape the Jedi on Naboo. |
| 1018 | * 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. |
| 1019 | * LivingGasbag: He's even referred to as one. However, being lightweight and floaty results in less speed and momentum when in flight. |
| 1020 | * RedBaron: According to Dooku, he's known as "the Exterminator". |
| 1021 | * ShockAndAwe: The bodies of Parwans produce an electrical field and Derrown used this to shock Anakin into unconsciousness. |
| 1022 | * ShoulderCannon: He has a Franchise/{{Predator}}-style shoulder-mounted canon, although he hasn't used it on-screen. |
| 1023 | * StarfishAliens: Parwans are some sort of three-eyed-tentacled-[[MushroomMan humanoid-fungi creatures]], and they're [[LivingGasbag floating in the air]]. |
| 1024 | * TheUnintelligible: Even the other bounty hunters (aside from Obi-Wan disguised as Rako Hardeen) seemed to be unable to understand him. It creates a bit of a PlotHole, when he spoke to a Republic Senate guard using Galactic Basic while being disguised as one of them. (Admittedly, the other Parwan character in the Canon, [[Characters/StarWarsGalacticRepublic Dr. Gubacher]], can speak Basic.) |

| 1075 | 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 to fall victim to the Box. |
| 1076 | ---- |
| 1077 | * ButtMonkey: Not only is Onca the first of the bounty hunters to fall victim to the Box's traps, Bulduga is killed before the challenge even begins. When Count Dooku mentions all of the participating bounty hunters' accolades, he mentions to Onca that he and his brother were a legendary team, only to then mention that [[ThisIsGonnaSuck the challenges in the Box are going to be much more difficult for him without his brother.]] |
| 1078 | * EasyImpersonation: Invoked and parodied. Bulduga is very clearly trying to mimic Cad Bane with his brown leather vest, red-lensed visors/goggles, and broad-brimmed fedora. However, Bane is not very flattered by it and kills him. |
| 1079 | * GunsAkimbo: Onca used two blasters at a time, including a sawed-off blaster rifle. |
| 1080 | * TheGunslinger: Many people believed that Bulduga was trying to imitate Cad Bane with his choice of hat and QuickDraw style, although they never said so within his hearing. Too bad for him that Cad Bane does not take well to copycats who have nicer hats than him. |
| 1081 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Onca is killed when one of the laser spike traps in the Box impales him from behind. |
| 1082 | * 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. |
| 1083 | * ReusedCharacterDesign: Both of their character models are modified from the incidental Ithorian character model used in other episodes. |
| 1084 | * SiblingTeam: They hunted bounties as a team and Count Dooku was aware of their fearsome reputation. |
| 1085 | * StereotypeFlip: Ithorians are known for being a peaceful race consisting mostly of philosophers and botanists. Bulduga and Onca are ruthless bounty hunters who are very quickly able to prove anyone who thinks that about them wrong. |
| 1086 | * TooDumbToLive: Bulduga actually thought it was a good idea to QuickDraw ''[[TheAce Cad Bane]]'' unprompted. Bane just asked where he got his hat (granted, in a fairly intimidating fashion), but Bulduga is the one who escalates into violence. A blast through his chest is the result. |

| 1103 | * {{Pirate}}: She is an ex-pirate, and has a price on her head for her crimes during that period. Due to that, Swan tends to take illegal jobs and work alone since other bounty hunters might try to claim ''her'' bounty. |

| 1106 | * ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''; she's named after Creator/KeiraKnightley and her character Elizabeth Swann, the "Obsidian Sphere" is a reference to the ''Black Pearl'', and she's also an ex-pirate in her backstory. |
