I remember visiting GE at Disneyland in July 2019 and being blown away upon seeing the Hondo animatronic and on the queue screen at Smugglers Run. Aside from it establishing that GE was going beyond movie stuff, its was enough of a proof of concept that Hondo can work in live action. Would be neat to see him pop up in one of the shows down the line.
Hondo is one of those characters you can insert to any point in the timeline and it just works because he's awesome. He's one of the best characters in Star Wars. Say whatever you want about him but he really did come through for Ezra when it counted: "For that boy, there is nothing I wouldn't do." Despite being greedy, he does kind of still tip towards good, he encouraged Boba not to hurt innocent people and gave him a lesson about honor and he saved Aurra Sing's life when she was injured during her escape and he salvaged Slave One. Also they used to be lovers which is... interesting. Bit of an odd couple but no judgement.🤣
Damn it’s crazy how few appearances hondo had in the clone wars. I thought he was in like every season, but he was really prominent in only season 2 and 5, and had 1 appearance in season 1
it’s been really fun seeing hondo rise up the ranks of star wars characters, i saw him begin in the clone wars and him getting his own spotlight in galaxy’s edge and a continuing canon presence has been great fun
Hondo survived 3 wars and basically met everyone you know in the main star wars cast... I wouldn't be surprised if he's saved for and appearance later on the big screen helping Sabine and Ashoka finding Ezra... "For that boy, there is nothing I wouldn't do"
After I watched The Clone Wars and Rebels Hondo became one of my favourite Star Wars characters. He's absolutely great! And it's great, people still like him so much! I hope he lives long and happy. And he still lives 50 years after Episode 9 in the Daiel-series.
Disney decided to make the most advanced animatronic ever created… of this pirate who, when we first see him, was committing crimes of abduction, “spice” smuggling, and extortion. 😆
I was wondering if Hondo was at the Battle of Exogal. I'm guessing he was not or that it's not mentioned that he was. Having so many ships come and go it's not easy to tell one way or the other.
Thanks for update. Some things I didn't know as I had not read the comics. But I've always like this character, a lovable scoundrel. Would love to see him in live action, with the same voice, just like they did for Cad Bane.
This video would have spared me some research just a few weeks ago :D I wrote a story that takes place before the Clone Wars, though, so there wasn't much research or much to be done wrong anyway.
Missing his appearance in VR (Tales From the Galaxy's Edge: Last Call) and if you check out the Starcruiser you'll be able to solidify the Galaxy's Edge storylines, including the Smuggler's Run ride story.
one of the crossovers that i've always wanted is Villie from the republic comics and Hondo. they both imbody that chaotic neutral energy and are both freakin hilarious. starwars: the devaronian version is legitimately one of the funniest comics ever made
Hondo is one of my top five favourite characters. I was really hoping for an appearance in the Book of Bobba Fett, but hopefully there will be more seasons where he will have a chance to appear.
There are also some story elements that take place on the Galactic Starcruiser that involve Hondo getting the stolen coaxium from Smugglers Run aboard the Halcyon.
I would love Hondo to become the Talon Karrde figure in the Heir to the Empire movie and the Mandoverse. The New Republic won't do anything, so he unites a bunch of pirates to fight Thrawn 😍😍.
Everybody Loves Hondo, Disney Smells Profit with him....hmm now I wonder when he will make a live action appearance Smuggling Kenobi would work but also Mando-aid is viable too so many options plus the whole question of Ashoka rescuing Ezra surely that would involve Hondo
Hondo is so freaking hilarious it is impossible to hate this crazy pirate
"Insolence? (Laughs) We are pirates! *We don't even know what that means!"* 😂🤣
- Hondo Ohnaka to Darth Maul

It looks so good!
Agreed! That ride made me so motion sick, but I went on 3 times just to ride with my favorite space pirate!
Hera, for that boy, there is nothing I would not do.
-Hondo Onaka
Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Episode 14.
My fav Hondo quote
"Well, today is a new day and luck for you, today, i like children!"

Well Professionals have standards
Hondo is a character that will for sure appear in a live action series.
"For that boy (Ezra) I'd give my life."
Love his story in rebels with Ezra and Melch.

Hondo was one of the best characters in the series. Loved that guy
Thank you. I needed this today.
Also: I love that his personal vessel while on Batuu is named the Katooni after a Jedi youngling of the same name 😍
Hondo survived 3 wars and basically met everyone you know in the main star wars cast...
I wouldn't be surprised if he's saved for and appearance later on the big screen helping Sabine and Ashoka finding Ezra...
"For that boy, there is nothing I wouldn't do"
Oh my god yes he needs to be in the ahsoka show
Hope to see Hondo Onaka in live action in Mandalorian
Honestly I don’t think it’s impossible to see him in kenobi or andor
It's one of my wishes for the third season
I just love Hondo! Hoping we see more of him soon!

"Ah the stories I could tell. So many of them true."

As far as 'frenemies' go, Hondo is the best !

Yea if cad bane can get a live action appearance why not hondo
Hondo is probably the best and biggest surprise from galaxy edge
I feel like Hondo it's going to be in the new Obi-Wan series he'll probably help Kenobi get off of Tatooine
i want a spinoff series about Hondo's gangs adventures
Yes I want to see that Star wars the adventures of Hondo ornaka.
Series? We need a whole trilogy!
They could make it like storytime with Hondo: _So many stories to tell, and so many of them true._ or Hondo: a Star Wars story
Hondo is my all time favorite star wars character. He's just so incredibly charismatic. Everytime he appears you never know what to expect
Really love that character, hope to see him again 😅
Great video 😜
I hope we see him in Andor
Hando is honestly my favorite character. He has an amazing character arc and when he says “for that boy (Ezra) I’d do anything” man I loved that
Thanks, Alex! 📈
Thanks for this great video
Nobody thinks that the old man from back to the future is playing hondo?
I have been looking forward to this
Hondo: _"Insolence! We are pirates. We don't even know what that means. Open fire!"_
By far my favorite Hondo Quote from Clone Wars.
I still think having Obi Wan and Luke walk into the cantina and hearing Hondo call out to him would be golden. The look on Obi Wan’s face.
Honda has over the course of watching shows like TCW & Rebels a favorite character of mine
This video would have spared me some research just a few weeks ago :D I wrote a story that takes place before the Clone Wars, though, so there wasn't much research or much to be done wrong anyway.
One of my favourite characters!

Thanks for that Hondo is my favourite bad/half good guy and he is one of the funniest characters 👍
One thing Hondo learned, you CAN'T squelch Melch!
My favorite character!
There are also some story elements that take place on the Galactic Starcruiser that involve Hondo getting the stolen coaxium from Smugglers Run aboard the Halcyon.
Havent been to Galaxys Edge yet but cant wait to see the animatronic Hondo. I think we get him live action sooner rather than later!
"This venture is no longer profitable"
Hando onaka
He’s one of my favorite Star Wars characters.
My favorite new character from Clone Wars
If Ezra is coming to live action, Hondo has to as well, he just has to!
Why didn't you show him from tales from the galaxy's edge: last call? He played a minor role there.
Hondo is one of the best things to come out of the clone wars series.
man i would love to see hondo in the mandalorian or book of boba fett season 2 if that ever going to be a thing or maybe in ahsoka tv series
Wonder when and where Hondo will appear in the Mandoverse if he does?
Every time I get asked what my favorite SW character is I say maul… but deep down I know it’s Hondo
He was awesome in Rebels
If anyone plays him in live action it should be Jonny deep. But knowing Disney it won't be him
Appearance in Kenobi?
I would love Hondo to become the Talon Karrde figure in the Heir to the Empire movie and the Mandoverse. The New Republic won't do anything, so he unites a bunch of pirates to fight Thrawn 😍😍.
Man Hondo is old.
Love hondo.
Yeah! How tough can those Night Brothers be? They ran from Kenobi!
He has to appear in live action soon
Ah yes, Star Wars Captain Jack Sparrow
First. Also. HONDO!
Star Wars doesn’t have a small galaxy prob…
Hondo.
What do you think Hondo was doing during the time of the original trilogy and the galactic civil war?
Who else thinks he should get his own show?
Hope Christopher Lloyd plays him :))
"I smell profit"
THIS EFFORT….IS NO LONGER….PROFITABLE!!!
hondos timline your shorter than I expected
Everybody Loves Hondo, Disney Smells Profit with him....hmm now I wonder when he will make a live action appearance Smuggling Kenobi would work but also Mando-aid is viable too so many options plus the whole question of Ashoka rescuing Ezra surely that would involve Hondo
I'd adore seeing Jim Cummings play Hondo in BOBF or Mando.
Good character but some silly story lines - where Dave can improve his story telling.
Every time i see him it like there that POS I love what BS you selling today
This video smells like profit
am i the only one who has never liked Hondo? way to silly for me...
Yes you are
