- The game

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a third-person action adventure video game that preludes Episode II Attack of the Clones and tells the story of how and why Jango Fett became the template for the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was developed by LucasArts and released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. The game was made available for PlayStation 3, via PlayStation Network, on April 28, 2015.

When the leader of the Bando Gora cult, Komari Vosa, became a threat to Palpatine's plans, he instructed Dooku, his apprentice, to eliminate her. He also charged Dooku with the task of finding a suitable person to become the template for the future clone army. Dooku decided that he could accomplish both of these tasks by putting a bounty on Vosa, and he only invited the very best to take up the challenge. These included two former Mandalorians: Jango Fett and Montross.

Mission to Outland Station
Aboard the Outland Transit Station, two borheks duel in the Pit Fight Arena; the red challenger fighting the standing yellow champion. Above the pit, the Muttani Meeko Ghintee is seen along with a Rodian and a Gran associate. Through a neural implant of some sort, Meeko controls the red borhek, cheating in the fight. The red borhek defeats the gold champion, giving the Muttani a reason to celebrate. Jango Fett arrives and shoots down Meeko's associates and in fear the Muttani drops down into pit arena. Jango follows Meeko down, asking whether he'd rather be caught dead or alive. Still controlling the borhek, Meeko launches the creature into Fett's back, causing him to lose his jetpack. Meeko escapes, and Jango is left to fight the borhek which he disposes of and starts his pursuit of Meeko. The Bounty Hunter heads out into the trading sector of the Outland Station, where he sneaks up behind an unsuspecting Gran, whom he interrogates to find out the location of Meeko's hideout. Jango retrieves his jetpack from a merchant, which he lost during his encounter with the Borhek. Eventually Jango reaches Meeko's hangar, and has to battle the Muttani's ship the Longshot before he is able to capture him.

Coruscant
Having turned in his bounty, Rozatta informs Jango of a message for him. A hologram takes the form of a man called Tyranus, who informs Jango that he has been selected for a special hunt. The prize: 5,000,000 credits, dead or alive. The target: Komari Vosa, leader of the Bando Gora cult. Unbeknownst to Jango, this same offer was given to his enemy and rival bounty hunter Montross.

Jango heads to Coruscant in his trusted ship, the Jaster's Legacy. Rozatta gives him information on a wanted death stick dealer: Jervis Gloom, wanted alive by the Coruscant Security Force. Both wonder if Gloom may know anything about the Bando Gora cult, a known death stick providing faction. Jango tracks Gloom down in the Industrial District, and learns that he was working for Groff Haugg. Jango pursues Haugg, but is too late as Montross has already frozen Haugg to death in carbonite. A fight ensues between the Bounty Hunters, and ends with Montross escaping.

Following the battle with Montross, Jango learns that Senator Trell of Ryloth is somehow involved in the death stick trade. He heads for the Upper City, where he breaks into the Senator's apartment and dangles the Twi'lek over the edge of a balcony to interrogate him for information. Trell reveals his underworld contact is Sebolto, a powerful Dug death stick kingpin on Malastare, and pleads to be released. Jango promptly does so, releasing his grip and dropping Trell to his death. Jango is then attacked by a police gunship, which he destroys before leaving Coruscant.

Oovo IV
Rozatta warns that Sebolto will be wary of guests, and provides a more subtle approach. She suggests using a bounty Sebolto posted on Bendix Fust as a welcome introduction gift. Fust is however in the asteroid prison on Oovo IV.

Jango heads to the prison and manages to sneak into the prison by following and tricking a supply craft's crew into thinking his ship is a glitch in their computer. After making his way inside, Jango meets an old timer of the prison called Smootie. Smootie provides Jango with some useful information about the backstory of Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora before they part ways. After starting a prison riot, Jango meets Zam Wesell whom he teams up with to get to Bendix. After capturing Fust, Jango's ship the Jaster's Legacy is destroyed. Smootie tells the two to escape the prison by stealing one of the facility's Firespray patrol ships. The bounty hunters succeed, but before leaving, Jango destroys all of the remaining ships.

Malastare
Jango allows Zam to accompany him to Malastare and a part of the bounty. Jango instructs her to drop him off in the jungle and then convince Sebolto to let her stay and find a way to allow Jango to sneak into Sebolto's Palace. The two eventually meet up inside the compound, but Jango tells Zam to return to the ship while he confronts Sebolto. After he kills Sebolto's guards, Sebolto flees into his death stick factory, but falls into the machinery and dies. Jango fights his way through the factory and finds the Bando Gora occupying an underground cave. He finds the Bando Gora ship and accesses its flight log. Montross confronts him, but Zam arrives in the Firespray and they escape.

The Firespray boosts away from Malastare. Zam wants to know what's going on with Jango, and presses him for details about his "other job," swiftly connecting it to Montross' mention of Vosa. Fett says that the Bando Gora ship visited Tatooine, so they set a course. Montross, having planted a listening device on the ship, follows them.

Tatooine
Jabba and Gardulla are having a feud over the control of Tatooine. Rozatta knows a gift must be presented to one of the Hutts in order to find out who is in league with the Bando Gora. A junk dealer has posted a bounty from Jabba on Longo Two-Guns and most of his cronies. If Jango catches them, he can be guaranteed an audience with Jabba. With Gardulla more of a recluse, Zam and Jango decide to split up to meet with the Hutts. Before she chimes out, Rozatta asks the name of Jango's new ship. He answers, "Slave I." Jango tracks down and captures Longo in a podracing hangar on the far side of town. When delivering the bounty to Jabba, the Hutt reveals that Gardulla houses the Bando Gora in her lair. He also asks the bounty hunter to eliminate the rival Hutt. Jango contacts Zam, who informs him that the palace is crawling with Bando Gora and she's not sure she can get inside. Then Jango hears Zam struggling with someone, and her transmission cuts off.

Fett makes his way to Gardulla's palace via Tusken Canyon and infiltrates the compound where he finds Zam in a palace cell, but won't let her out yet because the empty cell would alert the guards. Zam thinks he's ditching her so he won't have to split the bounty and, furious, calls the guards down on him. Gardulla captures Jango and throws him into an arena pit without his weapons to face off with a live krayt dragon. However the guards did not take away his cutting laser, with which he is able to escape the arena. He retrieves his weapons and fights through the palace. Jango confronts Gardulla in her throne room, where he steals the key to her vault. Jango tells Gardulla that Jabba sends his regards, then feeds her to the krayt dragon. Jango then kills the dragon before he makes his way to the vault where he finds an encrypted computer that he sends to Rozatta. Jango leaves Zam in her cell as he leaves Tatooine in Slave I.

Jango tries to contact Rozatta again, but is answered by Montross who have tortured the Toydarian for Vosa's location that was in the encrypted computer.

Kohlma
Slave I boosts back to the Outland Station and docks quickly. Jango runs inside and finds Rozatta lying on the ground, injured. She says Montross has set charges around the station which are ready to blow. However, she still manages to keep the coordinates for Vosa's location. She hands them to Jango and breathes her last words, saying that if Jango were to succeed he should find something to live for other than money.

Jango heads to Kohlma, a small moon of Bogden and finds to Montross on his way to Vosa's castle. The two engage in battle and Jango is finally able to kill Montross. The Bounty Hunter then heads for Vosa's Castle, but as he tries to infiltrate the castle he is overwhelmed by the Bando Gora forces and blacks out.

Two Bando Gora torture Jango until Vosa arrives and questions him, wanting to know who hired him. Jango refuses to answer. She pushes her body onto his, whispering to him, that he will be her slave. Vosa is just getting warmed up when she apparently senses Zam, who somehow followed Fett to the lair and is concealed just outside the interrogation room. Zam smiles at Jango and swiftly blasts the two Bando Gora. Zam and Vosa face off, with Zam apparently having a quick mental debate over whether to first free Jango or secure that big bounty, until Vosa attacks. The two women melee briefly until Vosa deflects a blaster bolt into Zam, who falls. As Vosa approaches to finish Zam off, Zam shoots off Jango's bonds. Jango snatches his blasters off the nearby table and attacks the startled Vosa, who flees. He then checks on an obviously incapacitated Zam and eases her to the floor, telling her to save her strength. Jango gears up, and as he leaves, he comments, "Back in a minute."

Jango defeats Vosa and brings her at blaster point. Komari iterates: "Which will it be, bounty hunter? Dead, or alive?" Jango lowers his pistol, but after he does so, Komari is strangled by an unseen force and dies. Jango turns around to see a bearded man standing next to him and recognizes him as Tyranus, the man who hired him. Tyranus tells Fett how impressed he is with his work and offers him a deal: come to Kamino to be cloned. Jaster would be proud. A vast amount of credits. Perfect warriors. A chance at immortality. Fett accepts the offer on one condition: he wants the first clone, unaltered, for himself. The deal is done.

Jango carries Zam out of the castle. She asks if he would like to split the reward 50/50, but Jango tells her, "Don't push your luck, Zam," as he carries her toward the Slave I.

Gameplay
The game is played in third person and includes eighteen "levels" across six worlds. The worlds featured in the game are Outland Transit Station, Coruscant, Oovo IV, Malastare, Tatooine and Kohlma, a moon of the planet of Bogden. In addition to the main story, the game features secondary objectives which are optional to the player. These secondary objectives are known as bounties, which can be marked by targeting enemies or NPCs with Jango's ID scanner, changing the camera into first person.

Bounties
Bounties are an optional secondary objective in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. They can be found in each chapter- except from the last one. They are usually found in rooms throughout each level where enemies won't charge at you, allowing you to have time to track individual targets in each new location. Bounties aren't always enemies either, and include NPCs who don't actually attack Jango. In order for the player to claim a bounty, Jango must use his ID Scanner and focus the targeting reticle on any creature or droid. If they are bounties, a picture as well as a bit of information about the target will appear. Bounties can be taken either dead or alive. Information on which method is worth more will be presented to Jango after using his scanner. Once a bounty has been identified, Jango can mark the bounty and the target will be tracked. Jango can then claim the bounty by either killing the target or by equipping the whipcord launcher and firing a fibercord whip to tie up the bounty and capture the target alive. Once a bounty has been dealt with, it can successfully be claimed by walking over to the target and an option to claim the bounty will be presented. The reward will immediately follow and the target will disappear. If a target is killed before being marked, then the bounty is worthless and cannot be claimed. Meeko Ghintee, has the highest paid secondary bounty in the game. He is worth 10,000 credits for being captured dead, and can be found in Chapter 3: The Break Out.
