"Jabba's put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you."
―Greedo to Han Solo[src]
BountyHunters

Several bounty hunters join Darth Vader aboard the Executor.

Bounty hunters were individuals who could be hired to capture or kill a designated target. The target would have a price or bounty on their heads that would be collected by the bounty hunter upon successful capture or proof of death.[1]

Some bounty hunters acted like mercenaries and were hired to do jobs other then tracking down bounties. Jango Fett, a famous bounty hunter active before the Clone Wars, was hired by Lord Tyranus to be the genetic template for the Grand Army of the Republic.[2]

Bounties could come from a variety of ways. The Galactic Empire employed bounty hunters to hunt down Rebels.[1] Private individuals could also list bounties on people. Jabba the Hutt placed a very large bounty on Han SoloCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many who was captured by Boba Fett.[1]

Bounty hunters would sometimes team together as part of a larger mission[3] or to handle dangerous targets.[4]
