Guest DarkTrooper Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 good point they should have Boba Fett as their bounty hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest www.DSViper.com Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 yeah since he was there favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBOy Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 yeah, he could be, but the Empire didn't like using bounty hunters, so maybe they could find something to replace them all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 His name is Garindan, and yeah, that would be a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBOy Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 No, garindan was a Kubaz. I think that he is talking about Ephant Mon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eets Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Bossk or Dengar would be the best choice for the empire, after Boba. They probably didnt choose Boba cuz he's a toybox unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Garindan was a Kubazi, and he wasn't a bounty hunter, he was an informant. Still, the Empire did use bounty hunters, you can see Vader alking to many of them in the movies. And you can tell that they have had previous transactions because Vader knows that Boba likes to desintegrae people. I son't think that Greedo was the best choice either, i think that an assasin droid would be the coolest bounty hunter for the Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xwing guy Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Yeah, an assasin droid would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dlayers Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Um, I think the reason that Bobba Fett wasn't used because there aren't more 'fetts'. The Empire uses RODIANS which is an entire race, (but I agree an assassination droid or noghri would have been much cooler, although Noghri aren't bounty hunters, I think they could have filled the role in the game just as easy because the bounty hunters, as used in Galactic Battles aren't really hunting bounties) Sorry, but I don't think those are supposed to be 'clones' of a single guy running around. Garandin, the 'elephant man,' as someone said earlier wasn't a bounty hunter...but an informant or spy, equal to what the Rebellion would have used Bothan's for. As for bounty hunters in the Empire, the officers of the empire didn't like Bounty Hunters but Vade had no problem hiring them for his dirty work. What I really don't understand is why the Rebellion, Gunguns, Naboo, or even Wookies have them? I understand something needed to balance out the jedi...but those civs don't really fit if you try to stay in the Star Wars 'theme' of things. But it really doesn't matter because it's ultra cool that they got the extra races like Rodians into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Been a while since I read any "Thrawn" book, but weren't Noghris primarily melee fighters ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Either Fett, Bossk, Ig-88, or 8t88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dlayers Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 You are right about Noghri, but what I'm saying is that there is no REAL need for bounty hunters, since there are not any Bounties. The purpose of the Bounty Hunters in Galactic Battles is to be Jedi counters. A role that Noghri could fill just as easy. Noghri where basically used as Assassins or Bodyguards.

hannibalscipio Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Ephant Mon was a Chevin, not a Garindan. Garindan was a single character, not a race. I think IG-88 or 4-LOM would be the best bounty hunters, behind Boba Fett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Originally posted by hannibalscipio Ephant Mon was a Chevin, not a Garindan. Garindan was a single character, not a race. *in game show host voice* Ooooh i'm sorry that is not correct. The correct answer was....Kubazi or we would have accepted Kubaz. Serioulsy though. Garindan was a Kubazi, not a Chevin. I'm 100% positive about this. My RPG character is a Kubazi after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dlayers Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 He was talking about Ephant Mon being a Chevin (although the name does look like it says Elephant Man - I think you misread ) Who called Garindan a race? I didn't see that anywhere. 4-Lom was not that good a bounty hunter, matter of fact I think that he and his partner (whose name escapes me right now, but he couldn't breathe oxygen) later joined the Rebel Alliance according to one of the books I read (shortly after they 'worked' with Bobba Fett).
