The ones darth vader hired of course! Had han not shot greedo he might of had a sniff of a call up but i doubt it he was clearly a rubbish bounty hunter otherwise he would put solo jabbas way.
Yeah I would agree with ponch. Greedo was a cool character and Han killing him in ANH is a pretty memorable scene but when I think Bounty Hunters I always think of the guys lined up on Vaders Star Destroyer in ESB.
Apparently Yak Face was a bounty hunter too, at least that's what it says on the coin Kenner made for him!

Makes sense really, I hadn't thought in terms of the films, was just thinking of bounty hunters altogether.
Amanaman and Snag as well as Sy Snootles are apparently all BH too - the latter a former part time one but a bounty hunter nonetheless

What is Boush's background? Wasn't that disguise taken from a BH? This Bounty Hunter is my kind of scum etc?
Got to go with the majority here. Just the Star Destroyer six for me... even if IG-88 does have to hide his feet so we don't see he's bolted to the floor to stop him toppling over. Not sure how many bounties he's going to collect in that condition. He couldn't even make it to the corner shop to buy a Bounty, let alone collect one.
And as for all the other characters (Greedo aside) which we are now told are apparently also bounty hunters, that accolade was usually retconned years after the fact by Hasbro (presumably with Lucasfilm approval), along with their new and improved 'space names' (Hammerhead?... Pffft! Not good enough! Bring me my Scrabble bag... Let's call him... M O M A W _ N A D O N! And it's on a triple word score!) to make otherwise potentially dull characters seem much more exciting. And not just Hasbro of course, but also the Decipher Customizable Card Game, the novels, computer games and any other old medium Lucasfilm cared to shove our way... At least that is until Disney coughed up 4 billion and decided the canon was no longer canon, so god knows where we stand now ;-)

The 'bounty hunter tales' books shed a little light on the bounty hunters individual skill sets.

If you want a full run of bounty hunters then you might as well throw Greedo in at least.

Always wondered as a kid where the motivation for a droid to be a bounty hunter was, maybe a better class of oil / female droid with the bounty money.
Maybe I was thinking about it far to much :lol: no Asimov laws in star wars then, yes just the s d six for me, as a kid always wondered what was in dengar's back pack, used to imagine it was a bit like rouge troopers backpack full of mines /ammo maybe a tent and cooking stove and pots and pans
