Hondo is legit the poster boy for what a pirate should be like how Obi is the poster boy for what a Jedi should be. Coincident they both become "friends". Hondo, loyal to no one, money over morals and no honor amongst thieves. He even praises his men for betraying him when they found an ally more profitable. Of course all of this didn't stop him for developing admiration for people such as Obi. It's sad that the empire killed his entire pirate crew and he has nothing, no fame, no power. Nothing. A pirate captain without his crew. Poor Hondo diserved better.
Well, he still had Melch and he got to live through episode 6, so that's cool. In fact, I completely believe that had the first order not rose, he would have restored some of his pirate empire and even been occasionally used by the New Republic to smuggle and deliver supplies to planets for them, given how he did help with Onderon and the liberation of Lothal.
@@zexalbrony4799 kinda confusing tho, I just noticed it's blending his legends story and his cannon story. But yeah, maybe. Not sure how successful it would be tho. If anything he's more docile in his old age compared to when he was in his prime.
He currently owns a “Shipping” Company based in Batuu called “Ohnaka Transport Solutions”. Aka, the ride Smugglers’ Run at Galaxy’s Edge, which exists in the main canon of episodes 7-9, but specifically in between 7 and 8.

“Filth, you will pay for your insolence." “Insolence! We are pirates! We don't even know what that means. Open fire!” Anyone who can stare down Maul with that type of insane courage can overcome any obstacle... unless that obstacle is getting a bad makeover in Rebels.
Genuinely a great part of Hondo's character. He never really formed attachments to his crew who he couldnt trust but found reliability in the few Jedi he came to know, and they shared a few adventures together, even if he was working against them at times. I legitimately believe him when he says he was a Jedi sympathizer

"Look at them! How powerful can they be? They are running away from Kenobi!" - Hondo Ohnaka, delivering a burn so hot that Mustafar pales in comparison, to Maul (and Savage)
For real. It was kid's stuff compared to the Clone Wars, although to be fair, that's exactly what it was: for kids, which sucks, because it had potential. 2 of my biggest gripes are: space Aladdin (Ezra) constantly getting shunted into scenes where he wasn't needed, such as the Ahsoka vs. Vader and Obi-Wan vs. Maul fights, and the lightsabers being thin, which just looks wrong.
James Davis that’s canon.... the inquisitors all had the same lightsaber design, they were in fallen order as well. I agree I don’t know how I feel about it but they aren’t really big threats
hondo always knows exactly what to say, no matter the situation he finds himself in. he would have been an amazing diplomat, and might even have brought florum into the realm of civilisation with cities and the like, if he wasn't so steal happy.
Hondo: Why would you sell me into slavery because a magic eight ball said so! Such insolence. Hondo's Parents: Insolence! We are Weequay! We don't even know what that means. It appears as if the Jogun fruit does not fall to far from the Jogan tree.
I saw a post once. It went something like this: Imagine this scenario. Obi-Wan and Luke walk into Mos Eisley Cantina to find their pilot to take them to Alderaan, but instead of it being full of different types of aliens, there is only one patron there. Hondo. He says "KENOBI!" Obi Wan's like FML. This changed my life, never have I wanted something more, Hondo is my favourite Star Wars character.
Attila The Hun ......that would’ve been awesome to see, and then Hondo introduces one Han Solo saying that trip isn’t profitable with the empire on their tails.
Normal leaders: "You betrayed me for money?! You will pay with your life!" Hondo: "You betrayed me for money?! Do it again! This effort shall be profitable!"
Hondo is one of my favorites. He’s so cunning, funny as hell, never afraid to crack a laugh, and I don’t think he was evil at all like some would think
He is literally a representation of one of the Seven Deadly Sins. He is Greed personified. That said, I love the character to death but his goal is money for the sake of money. He has no other motivation besides that, but his interests would align with those that are good if he can make a profit. He did, however, gain some purpose by the time of Rebels.
Yes, he was and I'm so happy he survived until after episode 6, thanks to what Forces of Destiny showed us. It's always nice to see characters that lived through the Clone Wars got to survive to see the end of the Empire and peace return to the galaxy until the Ssequil Triolgy ruined all that.
@@acairconditioning5666 You'd have to remove their accelerated aging, and even then, the chances of a clone surviving that long are slim. I'm going to type out my reasoning, and it will be in-depth and long-winded, so I'll put a Tl;dr at the end. The Kamino uprising took place in 12 BBY. Let's use a hypothetical clone, who was physically 16 years old at the time ( I picked 16 because it's old enough to be able to more or less survive on his own, but younger than that and he probably wouldn't make it), who had not been part of the rogue clones. He would have been born in 20 BBY. A year after his birth, the events of Rots would occur, at which time he'd be physically 2 years old. The time span between Rots and Anh is 19 years, so he would be physically 40 years old. A year each between Episodes 4 and 5 & 5 and 6, so physically 44 in Episode 6. And there's a 30-year time span between Rotj and Tfa. That's 60 years for a clone. Tl;dr: The last clones grown before the Kamino uprising that were old enough to more or less survive on their own would be physically 104 years old at the time of the force awakens. It's possible, and medical technology in the Star Wars universe is undoubtedly far more advanced than on Earth, but I doubt a clone being forced to strike out on his own would have abundant access to said technology. He might make it that far if he became a bounty hunter; given his advanced combat training, he'd probably be pretty good, and cash wouldn't be a problem. But being a bounty hunter is inherently dangerous, and most people think of clones as sub-human or flesh-droids. Okay, rant over.
Imagine if *HONDO* were at the cantina in Mos Eisley and recognized Obi-Wan Kenobi. Hondo: "KENOBI" Obi-Wan: "Oh no, what're YOU doing here?" Hondo: "Business, how have you been master general" Luke: "Master?, General?" Hondo: "You didn't know? Let me tell you the story about how the great jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi met, the even greater, pirate leader Hondo Ohnaka" Obi-Wan: "Fuck my life"
Lets be honest if he was there, then they'ed never need to rely on Han and they would have ended up blowing up the deathstar with Vader on it when they first came across it. Vader: "Wait! HANDO!?... abandon ship"
I love it when he finds out that his men betrayed him for Maul because he has more profits. His so proud comment is amazing insight into his charcacter.
I love Hondo I quote him a lot and his relationship with Jedi like Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra is one my favorite parts of Clones Wars and Rebels. I lost it when I found out Jim Cummings voiced him.
The people that put bounties on him tend to end up dead. Not even by Hondo, it's almost as if there is a third side of the force protecting this agent of chaos.
“If I were not me, I would envy you getting to meet me”:Jim Cummings. “Well well, look at the time”. I saw the Star Wars when I was 8 in a drive in theatre. My collection is so vast home owner insurance no longer covers it. Hondo is my favorite character is the Star Wars galaxy.
I think the Sith raids that you mentioned are correct. Hondo knew who the sith were in a galaxy that largely didn’t know or care for them. Strange for a pirate to possess that kind of knowledge randomly. And the fact he also knew Dooku was a sith didn’t seem like common knowledge.
I had to research him recently to make a DnD statblock for him. This man fought nearly evenly in a duel with Anakin, shot Maul’s leg off, and pickpocketed Dooku’s lightsaber in broad daylight. The man is incredible.
This is the tale of Hando Ohnaka! A pirate so brave in the Florum system On mundane quest for millions of credits Seclusion braid sway in the spaceship's breeze!
I absolutely love Hondo he is one of the best characters ever he is smart as well you don't get a pirate gang that big by being stupid he knew when a fight was not worth it and when to retreat he treated his guys well even after they tried to kill him he brung them back in like a brother and he even worked for the jedi and republic and seps so he proved more useful alive than dead so up and to the point where he kidnapped doukoo they left him alone pretty much.
I'm writing a fanfiction where my OC was sold to Hondo and lives on the Acushnet doing work for the Ohnaka gang. He's like that grumpy uncle who plays dirty tricks, but is secretly good at heart.
Good episode. Hendo was definatly my favorite character that was not allied with one side or the other. When I was a kid I had a Wekwey action figure that I always played as if he were a pirate very similar to Hondo long before he was a Star Wars character. My little Hutt gang of Jabba and other aliens were my favorite to pity against Luke, Han, Leia and a host of guest characters from GI Joe and Indiana Jones figures. This video and the Clone Wars episodes with Hondo brought back a lot of childhood memories set in my front yard and the forest close to my house.
Everyone keeps calling Hondo the Jack Sparrow of Star Wars, but I think we all know better. A pompous, self-serving pirate captain of a flying ship voiced by Jim Cummings with a vague French/Spanish accent? He's a competent Don Karnage!
Why is Hondo yet so frustrating and hilarious at the same time. Like its love hate relationship with that guy. He is shady and does dirty scummy things that from abducting people for ransom yet at the same time aids a rebellion against the confederacy forcing Count Dooku to ass the situation and basically say fuck it we have lost to many forces to continue on with this attrition on Onderon were pulling out. Then General Kalani is like okay then basically, While the evil dictator that basically sat on his ass eating fruit most of the time is like WTH really your just gonna abandon me like that. Kalani is like well we only just emboldened the rebels its pointless to stay any longer we all ready expended to many forces over little proxy war and well if dooku says we battle has become a steaming pile turds with nothing gain from other then testing out some new gunships there is no point to staying. Besides we have a bigger war to fight and win with the republic. I know those weren't Kalani's exact words but that's basically the point he was making. So the fact the hondo indirectly forced the CIS to pull out of Ondoren faster than NATO forces in the middle east is impressive well at least large scale forces i know smaller forces are involved to extent still. And the fact Obi Wan and Anakin just get forgiving him is a sign that Hondo might not be such a bad guy not saying hes a saint either. But is no general Grevious either the mad cyborg who ruthless seeks retribution for the CIS when ever he could. Even Obi wan warned him Count Dooku isn't the forgiving type and he will come after. Just didn't expect he gonna call Grevious on speed holonet to go pay hondo a visit. Which I assume grevious was looking forward to leading another assault against his and his masters enemies.
Hondo naming one of his ships ‘Fortune and Glory’ seems like a pretty cool reference to Indy’s line in Temple of Doom. And it seems like the kinda thing a mega-fan like Filoni would slip in.
I love Hondo in the Clone Wars. He was the character you hated to love, but he was such a like-able character. I hate how Rebels made him just a goofy old dude.
Don't forget: Hondo was absolutely addicted to spice. I think this influenced several of his notable "bad guy" moments, like attacking the Younglings. He appears to be going through withdrawals, and then comes back to his base and gets way too high (and probably drunk too). Once sober, but not in withdrawals yet, he helps out the younglings.
The best part about pirate and hutt episodes is the reaction of Sidious like " oh my god you idiots how could you be so stupid stop jeprodizing my plans" especially in the earlier seasons where they are constantly under threat of death and his plans arent yet fully set. Nice break from the usual spe vs reb too.
@@CT--my4lf i figured that, but i want to know the full story. What reason did the empire use to justify killing all of them, Who carried out the attack, How the battle went down, thats the interesting stuff.
Sir this is Hondo in a phrase, he knows when to hold'em he knows when to fold them and he knows when to walk away from the table he's "Smart & Slick". He's like a Ferengi from Star Trek if you know who they are. IMO 😎
I love your vids like love love them because you tell people things about species that not many people don’t know abut them and that’s why I love your vids
I wasn't sure what to think of him at first, probably because I didn't know if he was just a one-off character. Finally, after seeing him a few times, I found myself going "I freaking love this guy."
I think he is the most badass of all star wars characters, my reason, he insulted not one but two sith lords (3 if you count Savage) and lived to tell the tale, all without force abilities. Yeah sure Obi-wan and Anakin can claim good fame but when you are a pirate who has no abilties beyond good shooting skills, a neat ship, and a questionably loyal crew I feel the fact he survived the clone wars AND civil war is testement to his abilities. Heres hoping he shows up in more side universe stuff, we need him as good comic relief
Hondo in the clone wars was the cool space pirate who had the joker brand of crazy to mock a Sith Lord to his face. He went from a charismatic true neutral villain in the clone wars to that crazy uncle who does meth. And I don’t know if it’s the empire or Disney who did him dirty. Or both
I kinda wonder what would have happened had he become a privateet for either side. I mean imagine the equipment he already had, increased by a steady payroll, with Republic or Separatist hired privateers and military personnel, as well as a larger fleet of warships. He would have been terrifying. Considering he put a highly skilled Padawan (Ahsoka) to the test on his own with what, five guys? Him with a strike force of fifty or more would have been terrifying for either side.
Seems legitimate, get information and unique Knick nacks to sell on the black market and prof of Palpy being Sidious. (The Empire would be bad for business and he is friends with Kenobi).

Lets be honest if he was there, then they'ed never need to rely on Han and they would have ended up blowing up the deathstar with Vader on it when they first came across it.
Vader: "Wait! HANDO!?... abandon ship"
Bro that would have been awesome
I love it when he finds out that his men betrayed him for Maul because he has more profits. His so proud comment is amazing insight into his charcacter.
"The stories I could tell. So many of them true!"
But he'll never tell you which ones are lies and which ones are true.
Hondo Ohnaka is an absolute Savage when it comes to Either beating or insulting people.
Insolence! We are pirates! We don’t even know what that means!
Open fire!
I love Hondo I quote him a lot and his relationship with Jedi like Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra is one my favorite parts of Clones Wars and Rebels. I lost it when I found out Jim Cummings voiced him.
the forgotten genius of hondo ohnaka is the fact that hes still alive and not in jail. the bounty on this dude must be insain
The people that put bounties on him tend to end up dead. Not even by Hondo, it's almost as if there is a third side of the force protecting this agent of chaos.
“If I were not me, I would envy you getting to meet me”:Jim Cummings. “Well well, look at the time”. I saw the Star Wars when I was 8 in a drive in theatre. My collection is so vast home owner insurance no longer covers it. Hondo is my favorite character is the Star Wars galaxy.
I think the Sith raids that you mentioned are correct. Hondo knew who the sith were in a galaxy that largely didn’t know or care for them. Strange for a pirate to possess that kind of knowledge randomly. And the fact he also knew Dooku was a sith didn’t seem like common knowledge.
“Forgotten “?
Dude, Hondo will NEVER be forgotten by true Star Wars Fans.
I had to research him recently to make a DnD statblock for him. This man fought nearly evenly in a duel with Anakin, shot Maul’s leg off, and pickpocketed Dooku’s lightsaber in broad daylight. The man is incredible.
Honestly, this guy is one of my favorite characters.
Anarcho capitalist: “furthest extreme of that corner of the political compass” Hondo: hold my unpaid labour
“This situation.. is no longer.. profitable!”
Hondo became a great character. Had one of the best developments in show
Hail Gonk!
That scene at the beginning of the video is my favorite featuring Hondo. Truly represents him as the Captain Jack Sparrow of the Star Wars Universe.
The tow of them would somehow steal a starsystem
Hondo Ohnaka: Jack Sparrow of Star Wars. 🚀🏴☠️🚀
This is the tale of Hando Ohnaka!
A pirate so brave in the Florum system
On mundane quest for millions of credits
Seclusion braid sway in the spaceship's breeze!
I like to refer to Hondo as "The Most Interesting Man In The Galaxy". I'm still shocked that it hasn't caught on, 'cause, come on, he just is. :)
I absolutely love Hondo he is one of the best characters ever he is smart as well you don't get a pirate gang that big by being stupid he knew when a fight was not worth it and when to retreat he treated his guys well even after they tried to kill him he brung them back in like a brother and he even worked for the jedi and republic and seps so he proved more useful alive than dead so up and to the point where he kidnapped doukoo they left him alone pretty much.
Me after using these magic 8 balls: "I find that answer vague and unconvincing."
I KNEW THE DUTCH WERE ALIENS.
I get the feeling I will find the reason behind this comment funny, so could you please explain?
More somalian than dutch

I'm writing a fanfiction where my OC was sold to Hondo and lives on the Acushnet doing work for the Ohnaka gang. He's like that grumpy uncle who plays dirty tricks, but is secretly good at heart.
Good episode. Hendo was definatly my favorite character that was not allied with one side or the other. When I was a kid I had a Wekwey action figure that I always played as if he were a pirate very similar to Hondo long before he was a Star Wars character. My little Hutt gang of Jabba and other aliens were my favorite to pity against Luke, Han, Leia and a host of guest characters from GI Joe and Indiana Jones figures. This video and the Clone Wars episodes with Hondo brought back a lot of childhood memories set in my front yard and the forest close to my house.
Hondo is a colorful character that brings a bit of tongue in cheek to Star Wars. Love it!
Hondo is one of my all time fave characters in all of Star Wars
Hondo managed to fight Jedis 1on1 with the magma guard energy staff :D Now that IS impressive!
Hondo always reminded me of Don Carnage from Tailspin. Two of my favorite pirates in animation.
Yo the blaster Hondo uses not only matches him but looks slick as hell. Definently worth of being a Captain's sidearm for people such as him.
“The Fortune and Glory” I see what they did there Dr. Jones would be proud
FINALLY a video about my favorite character in Star Wars. I never knew whether to like him or hate him
That's gotta be the best pirate I've ever seen.
GEETS
Replace the lightsaber sound with "Attention, Sargent on deck!!"
Best part about Hondo: literally has a UFO
I see it now he's going to be in the Mandalorian
Forgotten? Hardly! He is one of my favorites!
I he deserves his own Star Wars movie
Everyone keeps calling Hondo the Jack Sparrow of Star Wars, but I think we all know better.
A pompous, self-serving pirate captain of a flying ship voiced by Jim Cummings with a vague French/Spanish accent? He's a competent Don Karnage!
Hondo is best boi, literally absolutely insane but so lovable at the same time
Hondo deserves his own show
Hondo is definitely one of my favorite characters in all of Star Wars.
Hondo is definitely one of my favorites. He’s such a hoot and fun to watch ❤😂
Why is Hondo yet so frustrating and hilarious at the same time. Like its love hate relationship with that guy. He is shady and does dirty scummy things that from abducting people for ransom yet at the same time aids a rebellion against the confederacy forcing Count Dooku to ass the situation and basically say fuck it we have lost to many forces to continue on with this attrition on Onderon were pulling out. Then General Kalani is like okay then basically, While the evil dictator that basically sat on his ass eating fruit most of the time is like WTH really your just gonna abandon me like that. Kalani is like well we only just emboldened the rebels its pointless to stay any longer we all ready expended to many forces over little proxy war and well if dooku says we battle has become a steaming pile turds with nothing gain from other then testing out some new gunships there is no point to staying. Besides we have a bigger war to fight and win with the republic. I know those weren't Kalani's exact words but that's basically the point he was making.
So the fact the hondo indirectly forced the CIS to pull out of Ondoren faster than NATO forces in the middle east is impressive well at least large scale forces i know smaller forces are involved to extent still.
And the fact Obi Wan and Anakin just get forgiving him is a sign that Hondo might not be such a bad guy not saying hes a saint either. But is no general Grevious either the mad cyborg who ruthless seeks retribution for the CIS when ever he could.
Even Obi wan warned him Count Dooku isn't the forgiving type and he will come after. Just didn't expect he gonna call Grevious on speed holonet to go pay hondo a visit. Which I assume grevious was looking forward to leading another assault against his and his masters enemies.
Hondo naming one of his ships ‘Fortune and Glory’ seems like a pretty cool reference to Indy’s line in Temple of Doom. And it seems like the kinda thing a mega-fan like Filoni would slip in.
I love Hondo in the Clone Wars. He was the character you hated to love, but he was such a like-able character. I hate how Rebels made him just a goofy old dude.
By far one of my favorite side characters. He's basically the Jack Sparrow of Star Wars but with much more cunning than Johnny Depp weirdness.
Don't forget: Hondo was absolutely addicted to spice. I think this influenced several of his notable "bad guy" moments, like attacking the Younglings. He appears to be going through withdrawals, and then comes back to his base and gets way too high (and probably drunk too). Once sober, but not in withdrawals yet, he helps out the younglings.
The best part about pirate and hutt episodes is the reaction of Sidious like " oh my god you idiots how could you be so stupid stop jeprodizing my plans" especially in the earlier seasons where they are constantly under threat of death and his plans arent yet fully set. Nice break from the usual spe vs reb too.
Love his character, thanks to Jim Cumming's acting, and his storylines.
What happened to Hondo after the Clone Wars? When we see him again in Rebels he doesnt have a crew or a ship any more.
@Ryan Orth damn.... that would an interesting story to hear
Somehow he’s still kicking by galaxy edge
After the Clone Wars, the Empire went and killed his crew and sent him running.
@@CT--my4lf i figured that, but i want to know the full story. What reason did the empire use to justify killing all of them, Who carried out the attack, How the battle went down, thats the interesting stuff.
Death's Hands well the empire did crack down on piracy so it makes sense why they’d be relentless towards them.
"This effort is no longer.... Profitable"- Hondo Ohnaka
Sir this is Hondo in a phrase, he knows when to hold'em he knows when to fold them and he knows when to walk away from the table he's "Smart & Slick". He's like a Ferengi from Star Trek if you know who they are. IMO 😎
According to one of my early KOTOR saves Hondo Ohnaka was also Darth Revan. Few know this
I just love that he has the same voice as the pirate leader in tail spin.
I love your vids like love love them because you tell people things about species that not many people don’t know abut them and that’s why I love your vids
I wasn't sure what to think of him at first, probably because I didn't know if he was just a one-off character. Finally, after seeing him a few times, I found myself going "I freaking love this guy."
"That has got to be the best Pirate I've ever seen"
Dooku: "So, it would seem"
I think he is the most badass of all star wars characters, my reason, he insulted not one but two sith lords (3 if you count Savage) and lived to tell the tale, all without force abilities. Yeah sure Obi-wan and Anakin can claim good fame but when you are a pirate who has no abilties beyond good shooting skills, a neat ship, and a questionably loyal crew I feel the fact he survived the clone wars AND civil war is testement to his abilities. Heres hoping he shows up in more side universe stuff, we need him as good comic relief
Hondo in the clone wars was the cool space pirate who had the joker brand of crazy to mock a Sith Lord to his face. He went from a charismatic true neutral villain in the clone wars to that crazy uncle who does meth. And I don’t know if it’s the empire or Disney who did him dirty. Or both
I absolutely love Hondo, you always wish he would just stay on the good side.
I kinda wonder what would have happened had he become a privateet for either side. I mean imagine the equipment he already had, increased by a steady payroll, with Republic or Separatist hired privateers and military personnel, as well as a larger fleet of warships. He would have been terrifying. Considering he put a highly skilled Padawan (Ahsoka) to the test on his own with what, five guys? Him with a strike force of fifty or more would have been terrifying for either side.
Easily one of the best characters in all of Star Wars. Hondo Onaka is amazing.
Hando the literal definition of chaotic neutral
He *DESERVES* his own movie
Hondo Ohnaka was one of my favorite characters as a child. Now I’m a 21 year old libertarian and I love him even more.
What a god among men he is
An entire video about Hondo?
Finally, a man of culture!
Anyone notice how there ship was a Corona class, coincidence I THINK NOT.
Lmao I was thinking that
No winder corona virus is hard to treat: its alien in nature. Hondo and his pirates were infecting us when they’re making pitstop on Earth.
Seems legitimate, get information and unique Knick nacks to sell on the black market and prof of Palpy being Sidious. (The Empire would be bad for business and he is friends with Kenobi).
That opening scene is one of my favorite Hondo moments of the clone wars. Really hope we get to see him in live action soon.
Hondo is hands down, my favourite clone wars original character. He's just, the best
