Bounty Hunters

“Bounty Hunters?  We don’t need their scum!”

Star Wars is known for its bounty hunters, individuals for hire to capture or kill a designated target. The target would have a price on their heads that would be collected by the bounty hunter upon successful capture or proof of death.  Bounty hunters had no political allegiance only to the highest bidder.  They would sometimes team together as part of a larger mission or to handle more dangerous targets.

From Greedo, who only made a small appearance in a New Hope, bounty hunters have always been an integral part of Star Wars story telling.  The vast number of bounty hunters that continues to grow provides an amazing opportunity to develop backstories and connections in the Star Wars universe.  This time on Womp Rat Radio, we look at the early bounty hunters and cover some of our favorites.
