Great list, but personally I believe Embo belongs on there somewhere. He was the second most successful bounty hunter during the clone wars behind cad bane.
My Number 1 Has to be Jango Fett 1. He killed multiple jedi with his bare hands 2. An awesome backstory 3. Very sucessful and respected 4. Clone's genetic template 5. Unlike most mandalorian nowadays, he uses his armor as less of a crutch and more of an asset 6. THE CLEANEST ARMOUR YOU'VE EVER SEEN
I would have agreed with all of this, if it wasn't for the existence of Boba Fett. But in light of that, I would personally have placed Boba as number 1 and Jango as number 2. Cad Bane would have to be number 3 in it all. Jango had a reputation unlike any other bounty hunter in the galaxy. Everyone knew who Jango was, and how epic he was. It was his reputation and the respect he had gained that made Aura Sing take on Boba Fett and help him out of a difficult time after loosing his dad. And because of Jango's respect and reputation, Boba was viewed upon as having potential to become as good if not even better than Jango himself, due to them having the same exact DNA.
Agreed I think Jango was a lot more skilled than Boba. At the time of AOTC he was older than Boba was in tbobf and still in his prime. He also mentored both Boba and Cad Bane
For season 2 of book of boba fett, as much as I like the cameo of grogu and mando, I really think they should backseat that aspect of the show and emphasize more appearances of canon characters or bounty hunters such as bossk, dengar, etc. The series has such huge creative and depth potential, just don’t want to see it become too tied into mandolorian
Yup. I love Mando, but leave him mostly for his own series. If he's gonna help Boba, that's cool. But he doesn't need multiple episodes of Boba's series
Yeah the show has so much potential to be more a house of cards vibe, and boba rebuilds old connections to take out old organizations that exploited him and his colleagues over the years
Book of Boba Fett can be summed up pretty neatly as "everyone (including the audience) forgets how much of a badass Boba is, except for Boba himself. Boba knows he's good, he just practices restraint and the maxim of teddy Roosevelt: Walk Softly (with spurs) and carry a big Gaffi Stick.
I think you mean the writers forgot. Like in 99% of the time in the book of boba fett, he is either weak, stupid or saved by plot armour. Remember episode 1 where he fires a missile into a shield right in front of him, when he got beat in combat by a random tusken, also remember when boba struggled to destroy a small robot, when he almost killed him and fennec using the slave 1 to look into the sarlacc pit. There’s still many more times in the series.
@@ibleminen I think it was more "he is badass, but the guy needed to be humbled" . I forget the missile one, but the tusken was at his lowest point, having lost his armor and usual kit. The robot was just like one of those situations when you're trying to kill that one bug but it just seems to get away just as you think you caught it. and the sarlacc pit... okay yeah he was just dumb with that one.
Gotta switch out Ventress and Embo on this list reorder as necessary. While Ventress is legendarily good, how many bounties did she really complete? No doubt it was few before Dooku dealt with her.
Yes, this is a list of best bounty hunters, not a list of best fighters. How good they were at the job is more important than who would win in a fight.
@@Julian-pw5mv that's literally the point. She didn't have that much of a career as a hunter. There are very few contracts she did and honestly most of them weren't that high profile (Savage was probably one of the highest, and she failed that one) As a warrior she would easily win all of them, but alas this is the list of the best bounty hunter, not the best warrior
@@gooofed5113 i dont think having moral objections against arranged marriage (and presumably rape) makes you a bad bounty hunter. Sugi would have done the same thing.
The only complaint i have is the consistency. Is this list based on who was a better fighter or who was better at doing their job? Like 1v1 Asaj and Durge would probably be the last one’s standing but like with Asaj she wasn’t great or reliable with the jobs given. Boba was obviously great at getting jobs done but when it comes to 1v1 situations only thing he has is killing Cad Bane by surprise
Fennec Shand is awesome :D I think she's also probably one of the more popular characters introduced in the last years, rightfully so. However my favorite Bounty Hunter will always be Cad Bane since I saw him the first time in the clone wars, the western vibes are just super neat.
@@GenerationTech what the actual fuck, I actually had to check if she really was this old, she looks a good 15 hell maybe even 20 years younger than that
@@DefinitelyNotEmma He was based off of one of the best Western villains of all time: Angel Eyes from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, now wonder he turned out so epic
I’d love to see him fight krsantan at least but if there was a good reason for it I’d accept a Chewbacca cameo. He’s not dead yet I don’t think so there is always that possibility. Perhaps him and Han head back to mos espa to pick up one last job only to be caught in the middle of krsantan and bossk. Chewey, recognizing the trandoshan, engages alongside the other Wookiee with Han trying to just end the fight as fast as possible w his blaster
I hope they don’t since he does have a canonical height. Now it is disputed but he is either 6’3” or 6’9” depending on source. So he could be a big guy but not that Wookiee height.
They should've brought him in instead of Mando, don't get me wrong (I loved those episodes) but it would've been better to establish Bossk in live action
Technically his first live-action appearance was in the empire strikes back.But he didn't get to do any fighting hopefully he will appear in season 2 of the book of boba fett assuming the show gets a second season.
I want Durge to comeback! I feel like they can make a good horror/monster themed episode involving se wired mass of flesh and tentacles only to realize it's Durge reforming after all these years
Durge pre-Disney is what we should see. Forget about tossing him into a star, just bring him back and take on the posers in the new trilogy and show them who is boss.
I think Jango was the best skill wise, but we only saw his tragic death, cad bane wouldn't have survived in the same situation, same with Boba, Jango was on top for a reason, plus windu was one of the strongest jedi, beating a sith in combat, so I don't think it's fair to say he is trash because he died the was he did
true. Windu is just on a completely different power level. I mean he even had Sidious beat until Anakin chopped his hand off. Jango could probably clap nearly any other person
Especially in Hand-to-hand combat. Idk much on how well Jedi fight without a Lightsaber, I've seen a few in the shows, but I feel like Jango would win against nearly any Jedi in a fist fight, hell he practically did when he fought all those Jedi with his bare hands.
Windu didn’t just beat a Sith, he beat THE Sith, Palpatine, the culmination of the Rule of Two’s 1000 year long grand plan to over throw the republic and destroy the Jedi. Windu was able to instantly win against Grievous with a quick force crush, Cad Bane and Boba Fett would be just as screwed as Jango was.
Bane was the only person that gave Jango a run for his money, especially after their joint ventures. It still doesn't feel as if Boba can measure up to those 2, even if he killed elderly bane. Then again, if I were to fight Mike Tyson when he's 85 I would also probably win, so was Boba the impressive one of those 2?
True most of Jangos feats happened before the events in the movies. He killed several Jedi, and was so renowned he was chosen to be the template for an entire fking army.
We have clearly not seeing enough of these bounty hunters to actually give them a fair shot. With the exception of Cad Bane and Boba Fett who have literally been around since the Clone Wars. We need more Bounty Hunter content.
@@devenmacintosh4124 Tbf, the best episodes were the ones which included Mando, but I do agree that we definitely could've included some Bossk instead, he would've been a perfect addition to Boba's entourage
Zuckuss & 4-LOM need some live action screentime. Might not change up this list but deserve to have more fans know them as great hunters in their own right.
My favorite character in all of Star Wars is Jango Fett. I see in the comments a lot of ppl also have a bounty Hunter as their favorite character. Goes to show you how cool they are in this universe.
From my time as a kid in the early 80s examining every detail of the Kenner action figure (and inventing purposes for every robotic part), IG-88 will always be a sentimental favorite of mine. IG-11 in the TV series wasn't too far off from what I imagined, combat wise.
Cad Banes “Holocron Heist” arch in the clone wars easily puts him at number one, Boba Fett has never even come close to matching his accomplishments in that arch in cannon.
#1 Jango #2 Boba #3 Bane Jango was the best Mandalorian and the best bounty hunter. That guy was epic and could kill force users with his bare hands. Was choosen to be the clone templetand to train the clones because he could kill jedi. Hope Boba becomes Mand’alore so that Jango’s plan comes true. If that happens as I think it will, Jango is one of te most important characters in Star Wars, he already is, but if his clone son accomplishes his goal. Wow.
jango should of been #1 imo or atleast higher than cad bane. In his comics he was a true mandalorian and killed many jedi. If any non force user would fight jango he would come out on top 9/10 times.
@@drakemicle8241 idk wha this video was about judging it was a year ago legends fango best bounty hunter canon jango has basically no feats besdies one comic i havent read so i cant say much
He's a good tracker, but so are Bossk, Boba, Bane, Fennac and probably Jango wasn't to shabby either with his many years of bounty hunting. Yet most of those 5 also have shown more impressive combat. Mando looks cool but without his armour he'd have died a hundred times already.
Alan, you also forgot to mention that Boba survived being eaten alive by a Sarlacc as well. I don't know if Cad Bane can survived that or not because I cannot figure it out. So what do you and the others think of this? Is Bane most likely going to died if he got eaten by a Sarlacc?
Bane has shown several times that he can prevent fatal situations with his booster shoes. He simply wouldn't end up in the pit to begin with. He was 72 by the time he died, and had fought over a dozen jedi by that point. His reflexes were also quite a bit faster than Boba, as well as him having more experience against jedi than Boba so he might have stopped Luke even before he got his sabre. My personal theory is that Cad even sought out the fight with Boba in order to die, because he wasn't long for the world anymore and he wanted to give his former pupil 1 last lesson. In terms of on screen successful missions, there is also not a single bounty hunter I can think of that defied the odds as often as Cad.
Thought it was very good However I still do personally think Jango belongs on top. It's is still a great list and the top 3 really could make an argument for any in the top three to change places.
It's always frustrating to me how many people always seem to forget Durge considering he could probably wipe out anyone else on this list and serve them up on a silver platter. Canon or not he was a complete badass in the 2003 series!
Correction. Boba was faster than Bane if you listen he fires first but misses and that was after fighting for an hour and taking dozens of hits which do hurt.
Ya know, boba mached bane's speed during a draw in TCW (that's how he got the dent on the helmet and bane the plate on the head) and he was just a child so... yeah. And ya know, talking about abilities and hand-to-hand fight I'd say Jango and his mandalorian fighting skills are really unbeatable.
I think bossk has already beaten black krrrsantan so think he should be higher, boosk has a lot of experience while black krrrsantan was a gladiator and even then lost to bosk. And well... I think jango is faster than boba and he doesn't need to abuse a jetpack to beat a jedi as seen in the episode 2 against obi wan(i mean bane couldn't do much if he wasn't running around with those boots all the time) and well he was originally beaten by... KID BOBA like this cad bane dude was supposed to be killed by a kid in the clone wars Also i feel like embo is a actually a better figther than the rest here and... Well i think those trandoshans in the book of boba weren't warriors but some kind of... Idk rich guys?
I know in the Star Wars jargon that Bounty Hunter is a much larger catch all term then actual bounty hunting, but Ventress and largely Cad Bane really where Mercenaries. Neither really seemed to do much bounty hunting. They served as hired guns and thieves. Mando actually tracked people down and captured them for bounties.
I would place Embo at this list. I believe his skills should include him. Assaj bounty hunting skills are nothing special. While for a 1 on 1 fight she is probably the strongest bounty hunting takes more than being a good fighter.
My favorite Bounty Hunter not on this list is probably Shae Vizla. Outside of having a pretty cool design, she was a very accomplished Bounty Hunter closely working with the Sith Empire on the front lines. Shae Vizla's heavy use of flamethrowers in her killings would earn her the nickname Tourch. Later in life she even became Mandalore the Avenger. As Mandalore Shae helped unite mamy Mandalorians, and gained glory for her people in her fights against the Eternal Empire, and even Revan. No matter which point in history it is, Shae Vizla is extremely accomplished.
@@ihavenocommonsensebut2008 we did also have Leia pretty much Mary Poppins her way out of a direct laser beam explosion and the vacuum of space without a single physical scratch when she woke up from her self induced force coma 😂😂😂
I'd say Cad Bane number one due to longevity as a bounty hunter. He was personally hired by Sideous for jobs so that's saying a lot. I'd have Boba over Jango as well due to Boba operating without jedi running around to make it harder. Fennec is really skillful but her amateur mistake basically got her killed if Boba didn't help her, I can't see Jango/Boba/Cad Bane getting in her situation.
But do we actually know the lifespan of a Duro? I seriously don't know but if Duros can live longer than humans it would stand to reason that they are also longer in the prime. Maybe it was said that Duros and Humans age about the same but I just think it's hard making age comparisons in star wars where little green aloens are still basically toddlers at 50 years old
To be honest this list is actually really accurate in my opinion, but if we're talking potential here then I would say Mando has the most of it considerably He's just starring our in our beloved galaxy far far away and is already this high on the list, given time I do genuinely think Mando could be the best Bounty Hunter on here.
As a Sasquatch (Terran Wookie; ain't parallel evolution cool?) I must say that fur is not to be underestimated. It's not the best armor, but it's ablative nature absorbs blaster bolts well, and, being fibrous and loose, it's on par with gambeson with regards to most blades. Fur's weaknesses are slug throwers and solid bolts such as arrows and crossbow bolts.
As I've rewatched Boba vs Bane a few times now maybe I'm reading into it to much but it almost feels like Boba baited Bane into melee range. Boba admitted Bane was the quicker but he had armor. He new he could take some shots and for Bane to get a sure kill he would have to get close and remove Bobas helmet as all his vitals are covered in armor. I think Boba new he could tank Bane and had much better odds in close combat. In the end that paid off. Maybe I'm over analyzing it but that's what I'm taking away from it
My thoughts would say no way. Boba was confident to take him at range. Boba took those quick blaster hits hard. They were hurting shots. Boba also fires, but missed. He followed it up with flame so it leads me to believe he was doing all. Bane closed the distance to chastise Boba. He would have to have known Cad wouldn't just keep pumping him with blaster rounds from range and kill him. Tough call to make. Not sure
In my mind Cad Bane will always be the best bounty hunter. He pulled more jobs than any other bounty hunter of his time, made more money than any other bounty hunter of all time and survived an encounter with Mace Windu. At the end of the Boba Fett series as a part of the Duros species he was basically 100 years old.
Hope Bossk shows up for BOBF season 2, his old partnership with Boba would make for a great conflict between the two, especially with Krrsantan on Boba's team now, since Bossk and Krrsantan are both bounty hunters, and members of rival species I think he would really dislike the Trandoshans of Mos Espa though, with their lack of Scorekeeper pleasing
I personally think Cad Bane is still number 1. Aside from the numerous things he is incredible at, it’s his thorough planning that really makes him stand out. He always has a way to get out of trouble, even if it looks deceiving (like him dying). We thought he died in the unfinished episode of his showdown with Boba Fett in the Clone Wars cartoon. (That’s how Boba got his infamous dent on his helmet). However, he made an incredible appearance in The Bad Batch. Even though he gets stabbed by Boba, I don’t think he’s dead yet again either. One detail many ppl missed was a red light blinking on his chest. I’m sure that’s a heart monitor. It would go out if he genuinely died. I’m sure he’ll come back. Cad Bane to me is number one. Sure Boba is strong but Cad Bane doesn’t need to hide behind mandalorian armor to fight against Jedi or other enemies.
before BoBF and after Mando S2, I would have said Boba is #1, but though he no doubt shows off his skills in the finale, he is still dumb enough to try to win a quickdraw duel with a rifle, doesn't understand the concept of cover when facing dozens of enemies (Mando is guilty of this too), and thinks that a Rancor destroying an entire city is more effective than a Gunship with literal ION weapons that could disable the droid's shields and cannons that could pulverize their armor. Used to be a Boba Fett fanboy, but after his character was added to the list of OT characters put on the chopping block, Jango Fett is #1.
IG droids being independent bounty hunters is a silly thought to me. Like anyone hiring them could drop a droid popper on them after the job is done with no moral dilemma. It’s just a droid.
I mean I doubt the sort of people that hire professional killers would really be in any moral dilemma to do the same to a living bounty hunter. But a asset is a asset, why destroy something you may have use of in the future. Also it's hard to get people to work for you when everyone that takes the job never comes back.
this is how much I like them not how powerful 10: Dengar 9: Greedo 8: Bossk 7: Fennec Shand 6: Aurra Sing 5: Durge 4: Din Djarin 3: Boba Fett 2: Jango Fett 1: Cad Bane
Wish there could be a bounty hunter star wars game where you can pick/choose various races Human IG assassin droid Trandoshion Some of the tall/fast aliens Some big tanky alien Gear/play style/ class could vary on race. I know I'd go for the IG series
Honestly I feel like Cad Bane should be the top. It's pretty close ngl, but he should be up there with Jango at 2, possibly tied for 1 with Bane. Considering Boba is a clone of Jango it feels natural to put him just below Jango
I also think Boba was just done with all the violence. It's why instead of intimidating people he walked among them, talked to them, heard their concerns and tried to address said concerns.
Great list, but personally I believe Embo belongs on there somewhere. He was the second most successful bounty hunter during the clone wars behind cad bane.
True

It was his reputation and the respect he had gained that made Aura Sing take on Boba Fett and help him out of a difficult time after loosing his dad.
And because of Jango's respect and reputation, Boba was viewed upon as having potential to become as good if not even better than Jango himself, due to them having the same exact DNA.
Cleaned, but never polished. He made a point of that to avoid drawing too much attention. Just remembered that when you mentioned it

Was choosen to be the clone templetand to train the clones because he could kill jedi. Hope Boba becomes Mand’alore so that Jango’s plan comes true. If that happens as I think it will, Jango is one of te most important characters in Star Wars, he already is, but if his clone son accomplishes his goal. Wow.
jango should of been #1 imo or atleast higher than cad bane. In his comics he was a true mandalorian and killed many jedi. If any non force user would fight jango he would come out on top 9/10 times.
Name has also killed many plus infiltrated the Jedi holoceon vault
Bane
@@Vid3o_1diot yes but i feel like killing 6 jedi with his bare hands is more impresive than geting into the jedi vault
Bane Beat obi wan, jango didn't
@@drakemicle8241 idk wha this video was about judging it was a year ago
legends fango best bounty hunter
canon jango has basically no feats besdies one comic i havent read so i cant say much
Din is actually an extremely good tracker, probably better than most on the list.
I mean in the beginning he just followed a bounty fob
He's a good tracker, but so are Bossk, Boba, Bane, Fennac and probably Jango wasn't to shabby either with his many years of bounty hunting.
Yet most of those 5 also have shown more impressive combat. Mando looks cool but without his armour he'd have died a hundred times already.
Alan, you also forgot to mention that Boba survived being eaten alive by a Sarlacc as well. I don't know if Cad Bane can survived that or not because I cannot figure it out. So what do you and the others think of this? Is Bane most likely going to died if he got eaten by a Sarlacc?
Bane has shown several times that he can prevent fatal situations with his booster shoes. He simply wouldn't end up in the pit to begin with. He was 72 by the time he died, and had fought over a dozen jedi by that point.
His reflexes were also quite a bit faster than Boba, as well as him having more experience against jedi than Boba so he might have stopped Luke even before he got his sabre.
My personal theory is that Cad even sought out the fight with Boba in order to die, because he wasn't long for the world anymore and he wanted to give his former pupil 1 last lesson.
In terms of on screen successful missions, there is also not a single bounty hunter I can think of that defied the odds as often as Cad.
Boba mainly survived because of his armour
Amazing list personally believe jango would be the best since cad bane learned most of his bounty hunter skills from jango could be wrong though
Probably shouldve mentioned that child boba fett beat bane in his prime on the draw. Or at least matched him
They shot at roughly the same time. Cad Bane got a head wound and Boba got the dent in his helmet. Boba won because he had armor.
@@samdalseide5060 why i said he at least matched him
Thought it was very good However I still do personally think Jango belongs on top. It's is still a great list and the top 3 really could make an argument for any in the top three to change places.
It's always frustrating to me how many people always seem to forget Durge considering he could probably wipe out anyone else on this list and serve them up on a silver platter. Canon or not he was a complete badass in the 2003 series!
Correction. Boba was faster than Bane if you listen he fires first but misses and that was after fighting for an hour and taking dozens of hits which do hurt.
True, but Bane is super old, I'd like to see you even outdraw a toddler when you're a century old
Fennec Shand I think deserves a series on her own. I really love her Character.
I feel like Jango is probably the only one who could have outdrawn Cad Bane in a straight up duel.
Nah maybe beaten him in a battle but not outdraw him
Ya know, boba mached bane's speed during a draw in TCW (that's how he got the dent on the helmet and bane the plate on the head) and he was just a child so... yeah. And ya know, talking about abilities and hand-to-hand fight I'd say Jango and his mandalorian fighting skills are really unbeatable.
Boba Fett once took a bounty on a crime boss for three credits, and left the kid who had made the offer the crime boss' treasury.
It was about the principle
@@TheHonoredMadman and he did take the three credits.
The kid was basically his brother
Black K assassination attempt on Boba Fett felt more akin to a wild encounter with a Kodiak bear
Great list man! Boba is my all time fav!
I think bossk has already beaten black krrrsantan so think he should be higher, boosk has a lot of experience while black krrrsantan was a gladiator and even then lost to bosk.
And well... I think jango is faster than boba and he doesn't need to abuse a jetpack to beat a jedi as seen in the episode 2 against obi wan(i mean bane couldn't do much if he wasn't running around with those boots all the time) and well he was originally beaten by... KID BOBA like this cad bane dude was supposed to be killed by a kid in the clone wars
Also i feel like embo is a actually a better figther than the rest here and... Well i think those trandoshans in the book of boba weren't warriors but some kind of... Idk rich guys?
I know in the Star Wars jargon that Bounty Hunter is a much larger catch all term then actual bounty hunting, but Ventress and largely Cad Bane really where Mercenaries. Neither really seemed to do much bounty hunting. They served as hired guns and thieves. Mando actually tracked people down and captured them for bounties.
Yeah bounty hunter seems to be an umbrella term in the star wars universe
Great list man, glad to see bobba so high on it. Love your content
I would place Embo at this list. I believe his skills should include him.
Assaj bounty hunting skills are nothing special. While for a 1 on 1 fight she is probably the strongest bounty hunting takes more than being a good fighter.
Love these bounty hunter vids
Boba fett is my favorite bounty hunter.I didn’t agree with the first one but boba in my OPINION has the rightful place on #1.
I really really Asaij Ventress in live action in some capacity. I would even settle for her as a background character or somekinda cameo.
Zuckuss is easily one of my favorite hunters and definitely one of the most underrated
Great take at the end there.
I'm happy you included durge a lot of star wars fans don't know about him.
My favorite Bounty Hunter not on this list is probably Shae Vizla. Outside of having a pretty cool design, she was a very accomplished Bounty Hunter closely working with the Sith Empire on the front lines. Shae Vizla's heavy use of flamethrowers in her killings would earn her the nickname Tourch. Later in life she even became Mandalore the Avenger. As Mandalore Shae helped unite mamy Mandalorians, and gained glory for her people in her fights against the Eternal Empire, and even Revan. No matter which point in history it is, Shae Vizla is extremely accomplished.
Imagine if we got a live action Durge
Didn’t he get shot into a sun?
@@acgearsandarms1343 i mean if Palpatine survived (which is still bullshit) it’s not out of the realm of possibility😂😭💀
@@ihavenocommonsensebut2008 we did also have Leia pretty much Mary Poppins her way out of a direct laser beam explosion and the vacuum of space without a single physical scratch when she woke up from her self induced force coma 😂😂😂
@@devenmacintosh4124 don’t remind me 😣
Yes, been waiting for this!
EDIT: Finished the video and agree with Boba Fett at the top!
I'd say Cad Bane number one due to longevity as a bounty hunter. He was personally hired by Sideous for jobs so that's saying a lot. I'd have Boba over Jango as well due to Boba operating without jedi running around to make it harder. Fennec is really skillful but her amateur mistake basically got her killed if Boba didn't help her, I can't see Jango/Boba/Cad Bane getting in her situation.
"boba is no longer in his prime"
Yes, and neither is Cad Bane who is roughly 30 years older.
yeah no longer in his prime , still mean s kicking 90 percent of the average joes asses lol
Bane also was more ruthless until the end. He died on the job so I'd give him the top spot.
But do we actually know the lifespan of a Duro? I seriously don't know but if Duros can live longer than humans it would stand to reason that they are also longer in the prime. Maybe it was said that Duros and Humans age about the same but I just think it's hard making age comparisons in star wars where little green aloens are still basically toddlers at 50 years old
I love watching your videos, might I suggest lowering the music, it gets difficult hearing you at times.
Great video setup love to get your notifications friend 💯🔥 keep up the great content.
Please cover the Exosquad
"4 years ago when I was only 9 years old" I died, bro! hahaha
I fanboyed durge last time but the list improved overall with or without durge.
Very good list
This is an excellent list
Man, imagine if Durge was the villain of BOB season 2...we DEFINITELY need more bounty hunter content.
What music do you use in your videos?
Lol, Bosk just out here casually committing war crimes
Lol I just recently commented on your old one and mentioned Durge. That was fast.
Perfect list 🤙🏼
To be honest this list is actually really accurate in my opinion, but if we're talking potential here then I would say Mando has the most of it considerably He's just starring our in our beloved galaxy far far away and is already this high on the list, given time I do genuinely think Mando could be the best Bounty Hunter on here.
As a Sasquatch (Terran Wookie; ain't parallel evolution cool?) I must say that fur is not to be underestimated. It's not the best armor, but it's ablative nature absorbs blaster bolts well, and, being fibrous and loose, it's on par with gambeson with regards to most blades. Fur's weaknesses are slug throwers and solid bolts such as arrows and crossbow bolts.
A list of “Top Bounties Scored” would be really interesting
I think it’s a good revision, I’m glad my boy Durge made it on this time
I thought that Durge holds a random trandoshan's head on a plate,but I realised,thats Bossk
Winner of the great hunt from SWTOR.
As I've rewatched Boba vs Bane a few times now maybe I'm reading into it to much but it almost feels like Boba baited Bane into melee range. Boba admitted Bane was the quicker but he had armor. He new he could take some shots and for Bane to get a sure kill he would have to get close and remove Bobas helmet as all his vitals are covered in armor. I think Boba new he could tank Bane and had much better odds in close combat. In the end that paid off. Maybe I'm over analyzing it but that's what I'm taking away from it
My thoughts would say no way. Boba was confident to take him at range. Boba took those quick blaster hits hard. They were hurting shots. Boba also fires, but missed. He followed it up with flame so it leads me to believe he was doing all. Bane closed the distance to chastise Boba. He would have to have known Cad wouldn't just keep pumping him with blaster rounds from range and kill him. Tough call to make. Not sure
In my mind Cad Bane will always be the best bounty hunter. He pulled more jobs than any other bounty hunter of his time, made more money than any other bounty hunter of all time and survived an encounter with Mace Windu. At the end of the Boba Fett series as a part of the Duros species he was basically 100 years old.
very cool
Embo was second to cad babe I just don’t see him not making the list
Man embo deserves better:( great list tho
Hope Bossk shows up for BOBF season 2, his old partnership with Boba would make for a great conflict between the two, especially with Krrsantan on Boba's team now, since Bossk and Krrsantan are both bounty hunters, and members of rival species
I think he would really dislike the Trandoshans of Mos Espa though, with their lack of Scorekeeper pleasing
I personally think Cad Bane is still number 1. Aside from the numerous things he is incredible at, it’s his thorough planning that really makes him stand out. He always has a way to get out of trouble, even if it looks deceiving (like him dying). We thought he died in the unfinished episode of his showdown with Boba Fett in the Clone Wars cartoon. (That’s how Boba got his infamous dent on his helmet). However, he made an incredible appearance in The Bad Batch. Even though he gets stabbed by Boba, I don’t think he’s dead yet again either. One detail many ppl missed was a red light blinking on his chest. I’m sure that’s a heart monitor. It would go out if he genuinely died. I’m sure he’ll come back. Cad Bane to me is number one. Sure Boba is strong but Cad Bane doesn’t need to hide behind mandalorian armor to fight against Jedi or other enemies.
It's true he needs plot armor to save him xd.
Excellent Chart.
Honestly this is my top ten list
Dengar
IG-88
Bossk
Krrastan
Embo
Cad Bane
Jango Fett
Boba Fett
Asajj Ventress
And Durge
before BoBF and after Mando S2, I would have said Boba is #1, but though he no doubt shows off his skills in the finale, he is still dumb enough to try to win a quickdraw duel with a rifle, doesn't understand the concept of cover when facing dozens of enemies (Mando is guilty of this too), and thinks that a Rancor destroying an entire city is more effective than a Gunship with literal ION weapons that could disable the droid's shields and cannons that could pulverize their armor. Used to be a Boba Fett fanboy, but after his character was added to the list of OT characters put on the chopping block, Jango Fett is #1.
Black is fairly tall for a wookie while city trandoshans are usually shorter than normal, which is probably the reason he was able to flee
IG droids being independent bounty hunters is a silly thought to me. Like anyone hiring them could drop a droid popper on them after the job is done with no moral dilemma. It’s just a droid.
I mean I doubt the sort of people that hire professional killers would really be in any moral dilemma to do the same to a living bounty hunter. But a asset is a asset, why destroy something you may have use of in the future. Also it's hard to get people to work for you when everyone that takes the job never comes back.
Sad we didnt get to see any interactions between Bossk and Black Santa
1. Jango Fett
2. Cad Bane
3. Ventress or Durge
4. Ventress or Durge
5. Boba Fett
6. Black Krrsantan
7. Mando
8. Fennec Shand
9. IG Series
10. Embo
Can you do a video on a good and cheap gun for a militia in star wars?
Bane was trained by jango. After the death of Jango, who was nr. 1, Bane became 1. And Embo was second next to Bane
Boba Fett > Jango Fett > Din Jaren > Durdge > Cad Bane > Black Kresantsn > Asadege Ventress > Feng Shien > Bounty hunter droids.
3:58 ahhh the Polynesian spa.
this is how much I like them not how powerful
10: Dengar
9: Greedo
8: Bossk
7: Fennec Shand
6: Aurra Sing
5: Durge
4: Din Djarin
3: Boba Fett
2: Jango Fett
1: Cad Bane
IMO : Cad bane>Durge>Jango>Boba
But just my personal opinion!
This is about right. But i would put ig-11 in the #8 spot and the wookie in 10 since he got beat by a vespa scooter gang
Only revision id make is replacing the IG droids with Embo
Good list.
Wish there could be a bounty hunter star wars game where you can pick/choose various races
Human
IG assassin droid
Trandoshion
Some of the tall/fast aliens
Some big tanky alien
Gear/play style/ class could vary on race.
I know I'd go for the IG series
Can u do a video on c21 highsinger it was a crazy Droid that got barley any screen time
Honestly I feel like Cad Bane should be the top. It's pretty close ngl, but he should be up there with Jango at 2, possibly tied for 1 with Bane. Considering Boba is a clone of Jango it feels natural to put him just below Jango
Who else thought Durge was holding Bossk's head on a plate in the thumbnail? Haha 😅
It sounds good!
I also think Boba was just done with all the violence. It's why instead of intimidating people he walked among them, talked to them, heard their concerns and tried to address said concerns.
I’d like to make an honourable mention to the HK series.
I want to see more bounty hunters in Bad Batch season 2 Embo, Suigi, Fennec, Bossk, Dengar, and of course Cad Bane.
My boi Embo got done dirty here
