Bounty hunters in the 'Star Wars' galaxy are hired by the main antagonists to complete their dirty work.
We previously created lists for Nautolan names and Female Jedi names from 'Star Wars'.
In 'Star Wars', the bounty hunters are given a target, and paid upon completing each task. Most of these characters prefer working independently and so created their own crew to make their tasks easier. They have existed in 'Star Wars' since the 'Clone Wars'. They were initially portrayed as evil. However, as the franchise expanded, many of these characters became less completely heroic or evil, but somewhere in between. Most of these characters have been made into LEGO 'Star Wars' Bounty Hunters sets. If you are a fan of Han Solo, 'Clone Wars' and the 'Empire Strikes Back' bounty hunters, the list below will be of interest.
