@@aarons2148 I immediately went out and got a full body Mandalorian armor tattoo, for some reason the tattoo artist didn't care i was 12 years old. Unfortunately now it looks like a Mandalorian crop top and hot pants 🤷🏻♂️

I remember that from Steve Perry's Shadows of the empire novelization, dengar reminsced about his injuries while waiting on a swoop to ambush (if I remember right, it's been almost 30 years) Dash Rendar.
Bossk's ship was Hound's Tooth. I always thought they were ill fitting bandages around Dengar's head, not a turban. No mention of him being injured badly by Han Solo and that he was an Impirial agent, hence the Imperial armour. Boba Fett was THE most feard bounty hunter ever... until Disney got their hands on him.
Who didn’t think Bossk was the coolest in ESB, when he showed that he didn’t take any lip from anyone, including an imperial officer. Just way too cool and I only wish there was a bounty hunter series that showcased these original BHs in live action (separate from the Mandalorian).
Bossk's main ship isn't a Z-95 Headhunter. He has his own personal starship, the _Hound's Tooth,_ a modified Corellian YV-666 light freighter. It is armed with 1x Quad-Laser Turret, 1x Ion Cannon, and 1x Concussion Missile Launcher. The _Nashtah Pup_ was a secondary scout ship that he carried aboard the _Hound's Tooth._
@@charlestaylor253 cold, emotionless, and calculating. Everything you want in a bounty hunter. Of course there is the issue that he’s just as likely to kill you as he is your target, but that’s the price you pay for dealing with the best in the business.
Can I just say what a great job you’re doing. Your videos are so informative and we appreciate it. Do you think maybe you could do a video explaining the Guard variants (as in Senate Guard, Imperial Royal Guard, Praetorian Guard, Sovereign Protectors, etc)?
Boba was cool but for me I love the look of Dengar even from a young age cause I always thought he was covered in burns and still being a bounty hunter was so cool to me never knew it was a turban
Between the "Tales of the bounty hunters" anthology book and the Pilot Ooryl from the X-wing and Wraith squadron books, I became enamored of the Gand species and currently run a Gand Findsman Roleplaying character. Their humble, self-effacing style and inability to refer to themselves in the first person until they earned it struck me as a cross between a Samurai, Monk, and Knight Errant.
As a kid I was fascinated by the Bounty Hunters and had all the figures. When the expanded stories started to get published when I was much older it was fascinating to find out about their back stories.
The best prize for proof of purchase tokens was the accessory packet which included the Yoda backpack, Hoth rebel backpacks and a cool selection of weapons. I also still have my old "Bantha Tracks" newsletters from being in the "Official Star Wars Fanclub". Even have the issue where they talk about a new project being filmed in Tunisia that will be like the old serials.
The assassin droid in the first episode of the Mandalorian was IG11. There were many different IG models in the Star Wars universe. The IG86 model was a prominent droid on the first Death Star.
I once read something about rotj originally having the bounty hunters as the main villains. To gather info on the rebels and specifically find and capture luke.
Such nostalgia for Zuckuss. Had all the Kenner figures back in the 80s, and I remember having to send away for Zuckuss specifically (here in Australia).
Fun fact boba first appeared in a Christmas special in a classic cartoon series. And his original action figures was recalled because of the fire ejecting missle on his jet pack.
In the 90s we played the SW RPG and several times encountered IG88. Think this was mostly before the book about the A, B, C and D versions. In any case, the memories stick so it’s still the coolest of that group..
Great video. I know they are referred to as the original 6 but I have always considered 2 more to be included. Greedo is the first bounty hunter we ever see, and Bousch. He had to be well known by the rest of them to get that close to Jabba and had to be respected enough to not be questioned about how he caught Chewy so i have always included him in with the original bounty hunters.
Bossk also had his main ship, a heavily modified YV-666 freighter called "The Hound's Tooth", of which "Nashtah Pup" was a scout ship it could detach from. Surprised you missed that detail.
I thought Bossk's ship was something called a "Houndstooth"? Or is that "pre-Disney" canon, ergo no longer considered canon, hence "de-canonized"? Or am I confusing it with another bounty hunter entirely? At any rate, that is a hell of a cool name for a bounty hunter's ship...
It was the Hound's Tooth. Almost all Bounty Hunters had modified cargo ships as to be better equipped to bring in bounties. A Z95 Headhunter would be extremely difficult to bring in any bounties, alive or dead.
I had the Bossk action figure as my 4 year old mind immediately took a liking to this intimidating looking character that walked around barefoot with claws. Wish I still had that figure along with broken 3PO in carry bag, the medical droid, Darth Vader, Han Solo, R2D2, Snow Speeder, and IG88.
Zuckuss and 4 Lom used to be different. As in they swapped the names in the 1990s power of the force action figure series. The names were never accidentally mixed up
When I first saw Empire strikes back I was fascinated with these guys. The one that held my attention most was I G 88. I wonder what Bo was saying to that imperial officer while Darth Vader was interviewing them.
As a young fella I had all these guys figures except for Zuckus. I mean Zuckus too and not 4-Lom. Also Disney should be making a show (that's good/that's a key part) about these charming fellas.
Standard answer I know, but Boba Fett is the coolest bounty hunter in Star Wars. Aurra Sing, Jodo Kast and Kenix Kil would make nice topics for a future video if you haven't covered them already 👍🏿
4-LOM : "Lawm"? I've always heard it and pronounced it as 4-"El-Oh-Em". At least the confusion of the names between him and Zuckuss has finally been straightened out. Leave it to Kenner to get the names mixed up and confuse kids for years. Though might argue it should be logical that a name like "4-LOM" would belong to a droid.
That wasn't the Jango Fett armor, as Mandalorians had to get their own armor in what is known as "Trials". You saw a example of it in "Mandalorian". Boba Fett received his armor from his own trials, which lead to his famous markings and color scheme.
Check out our new video where we talk more about each of these Bounty Hunter's Starships! ruclips.net/video/J-aJyYFwKv8/видео.html
Bossk also owned the "Hounds Tooth" A ship that is more familiar with him than the Z95 Headhunter
Yeah, I don't recall any SWCCG card called Bossk in Z-95. Ha!
Yeah. Hard to transport a bounty in a z95
And this is the first one. What is he going to get wrong next?
for a SW focused youtubers that's egregious.

All the clone troopers are technically mandalorian if we go by this metric. He shares a lot with the mandalorians but I dont think he is actually a mandalorian
I remember first hearing about the Mandalorians in KOTOR and immediately falling in love with their armor 😍😍😍

"Tales of the Bounty Hunters" is required reading, along with Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, and Tales from Jabba's Palace.
Great books…and no woke DEIsney BS
Yup. And the Essential Guide to Characters. Has all their back stories. Before the dark times. before Disney
@@jeffsmith5436rentfree
Here! Here! 👍
Boba having a story in all of those. They kinda intersect.
Dengar has burns from a speeder bike racing accident which is why he wears the turban
and if I recall correctly, that racing accident was against Han Solo.
And I believe I read he got married and left that business.
Tales of the bounty hunter book, I remember reading that in jr high as well
Dengar taught us to wait until the mark takes a dump before you apprehend them.
@@geminijustgemini7784 Yes, that horned devil like alien guy that he caught right?
At one point when I was a kid I had all of those action figures and I played with them constantly.
Sure did
“But you broke the code!” Greef Karga
“Well, I like to see the code as more guidelines, anyway. This is the Way.”
One of the best scenes ever in ESB.
Facts!
Maybe i missed it, but i think you failed to mention how Dengar got his bandages from crashing during a swoop bike race with Han Solo.
I remember that from Steve Perry's Shadows of the empire novelization, dengar reminsced about his injuries while waiting on a swoop to ambush (if I remember right, it's been almost 30 years) Dash Rendar.

Boba Fett was THE most feard bounty hunter ever... until Disney got their hands on him.
Disney ruins everything they acquire.....not just Star Wars
I consider anything Disney did lowest tier non canon bs
Damn, IG-88 is basically Skynet in Star Wars
IG-88 would fuck up an entire division of T-800's...😉
I've always been fascinated by the original bounty hunters....This was great.
All 6 of these guys are really cool. Boba Fett is my favorite one and he was so cool in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
These guys were so dang cool. Loved reading about them in the, now, Legends stories.
Also another funfact regarding IG-88's head: It is also the turbine inside of Luke's landspeeder in episode 4
I love bounty hunters they are so cool and the trandoshans are one of my favorite species star wars this is the way
I think Boba also once wielded a lightsaber in Legends
He did! We covered that in a previous short!
Amazing how the DLT-19 looks just like an MG-34.
I’m glad you aren’t afraid to actually say the name Slave 1, unlike the cowards over at Disney and Lego.
Oh gawd, [[eye roll]], I know, right?! Boba Fett's 'Starship'. Oh blah!
Jeremy Bullock said “Boba Fett’s ship is called Slave I, always has been and always will be.” RIP to a guy who wouldn’t bend over for DEIsney’s BS
What a weird thing to worry about.
Well said!
My top 3 favorite bounty hunters are 1 boba fett 2 bossk 3 ig-88
Funny enough Boba was first shown in the holiday special and was pretty much the only thing carried over.
Not true haha. Lots of stuff is coming over more and more. Life day, the pulse rifle mando uses in season 1 and 2, etc
And we may thank God for that...😉

Great Catch! I was going to say the same thing
Only IG 88 almost took over the galaxy out of these. He’s the ultimate bounty hunter.

Us too 🤝
Boba was cool but for me I love the look of Dengar even from a young age cause I always thought he was covered in burns and still being a bounty hunter was so cool to me never knew it was a turban
Originally it was to cover burns. Scars left over from a swoop bike race
I’ve always wanted to know more about these guys. Love ur vids.

As a kid I was fascinated by the Bounty Hunters and had all the figures. When the expanded stories started to get published when I was much older it was fascinating to find out about their back stories.
All of them, but Bossk was the first figure i bought waaaay back in the 70's and remains one of my earliest memories.
I got a free Bossk in the summer of '80 from mailing in my proof of purchase tags on the packages of other figures. What a day!
The best prize for proof of purchase tokens was the accessory packet which included the Yoda backpack, Hoth rebel backpacks and a cool selection of weapons. I also still have my old "Bantha Tracks" newsletters from being in the "Official Star Wars Fanclub". Even have the issue where they talk about a new project being filmed in Tunisia that will be like the old serials.
IG88 is the best bounty hunter. That was evident in the first episode of the mandalorian
The assassin droid in the first episode of the Mandalorian was IG11. There were many different IG models in the Star Wars universe. The IG86 model was a prominent droid on the first Death Star.
My favorite is Zuckuss
Oh wow this is the first time learning about the Doctor Who association with the costume. Very neat to know, being a die hard Who fan and all
I once read something about rotj originally having the bounty hunters as the main villains. To gather info on the rebels and specifically find and capture luke.
Bossk was always my favorite. Pretty interesting backstory or storyline period especially raising boba
Such nostalgia for Zuckuss. Had all the Kenner figures back in the 80s, and I remember having to send away for Zuckuss specifically (here in Australia).
The N64 game "Shadows of the Empire" had IG-88 as a level boss and that fight induced stress and anxiety probably more than anything in any game ever.
Fun fact boba first appeared in a Christmas special in a classic cartoon series. And his original action figures was recalled because of the fire ejecting missle on his jet pack.
Awesome video!
That dude "Rothgar Deng" looks cool! Going to look him up later! Be nice to have an action figure of him!
These are the only Bounty Hunters that exist in my Star Wars universe
Love how you just listed Bossk’s BF2 abilities for his weapons
That dr who fact is actually pretty cool
This was great learning about them.
In the 90s we played the SW RPG and several times encountered IG88. Think this was mostly before the book about the A, B, C and D versions. In any case, the memories stick so it’s still the coolest of that group..
I love playing Bossk in playing Battlefront 2. He's so op
My favourite Bounty Hunter these past few years has been Dengar. Love to see more on him
Great video. I know they are referred to as the original 6 but I have always considered 2 more to be included. Greedo is the first bounty hunter we ever see, and Bousch. He had to be well known by the rest of them to get that close to Jabba and had to be respected enough to not be questioned about how he caught Chewy so i have always included him in with the original bounty hunters.

noice vid i love bossk and boba fett keep up the good work
Thanks!
Boba always been my favorite bounty hunter because he’s basically the Ultimate Clone Trooper 😤🐐
Great video, This is the way!
Thanks! This is the way
Bossk also had his main ship, a heavily modified YV-666 freighter called "The Hound's Tooth", of which "Nashtah Pup" was a scout ship it could detach from. Surprised you missed that detail.
My favourite is boss. It has always been book, even before I watched clone wars.
You cannot "usually only" something. It's either usually or only - one or the other, but not both at the same time
My Top 5 Are - IG88 & IG11 , Boba & Jago Fett , Cad Bane, Boosk Aurra Sing
BOSSK
Love that bossk wears a doctor who outfit
Do arrua sing and asajj ventress.
Sounds like start of an adult movie
Boba and Bossk are my goats
I always thought Dengar looked like a head injury victim... too many bandages (perhaps they gave up on a better design)
That's because he actually was a head injury victim. 😅
I thought Bossk's ship was something called a "Houndstooth"?
Or is that "pre-Disney" canon, ergo no longer considered canon, hence "de-canonized"?

Bossk was always my favourites
IG-88 actually had a good moment in the Dark Forces series, but Boskk gets no luv and that's jus sad as fuk 😢
Boba Fett’s definitely the coolest OG.
Always feel like Jango gets overlooked, would love it if Star Wars explored his backstory in more depth
Cad Bane is the coolest. He’s the Clint Eastwood of Star Wars
Let the hunt begin
As a young fella I had all these guys figures except for Zuckus. I mean Zuckus too and not 4-Lom. Also Disney should be making a show (that's good/that's a key part) about these charming fellas.

At least the confusion of the names between him and Zuckuss has finally been straightened out. Leave it to Kenner to get the names mixed up and confuse kids for years.
Though might argue it should be logical that a name like "4-LOM" would belong to a droid.
Subbed, good video.
Bossk was the same species that invaded Earth in “V”….. would be a pretty cool tie in
IG88B!
The Bounty Hunters have also been used in Dark Forces 2: Jefi Knight.
Dengar: (Upon seeing Asajj Ventress walking with Bossk and several others hunters) Hey Bossk, who’s your new girlfriend?
Bossk: Shut up Dengar.
Tales of the Bounty Hunters is a pretty good book about these same characters.
Do we know anything about Greef’s career before he was head of the guild?
Rumor has it that on another world, he went up against a Predator.
Next to Boba!!!! Dengar and Bossk!!!!!
Ever notice that Dengar is wearing Stormtrooper armor painted brown with chest armor from the atat commander.
That was great!
Interesting!! How did an astronaut suit from a 1960s 'Doctor Who ' serial end up on the character of 'Bossk'??!!
Cover Dengar. My favorite is Boba
My Legs! Look what you did to my legs Charlie Mur.. I mean Boba Fett... Frag you Jetpack, Boba - Frag your Jetpack!

4lom means 4 Love of Money
