4-LOM

4-LOM was a LOM-series protocol droid-turned-bounty hunter active in the galaxy around the time of the Galactic Civil War, and worked with the Galactic Empire on multiple occasions. After the Battle of Hoth, 4-LOM was hired by Darth Vader to capture Han Solo, captain of the Millennium Falcon and hero of the Rebel Alliance. However, the bounty on the smuggler's head would instead be claimed by the infamous Boba Fett.

Biography
A LOM-series protocol droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton, logic glitches allowed 4-LOM to override his programming, and he became a criminal and bounty hunter. The mechanical often worked together with Zuckuss, a Gand findman-turned-bounty hunter.

Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, 4-Lom and Zuckuss were present, along with fellow bounty hunters Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, and IG-88, aboard the Super Star Destroyer Executor following summons from Darth Vader, who hired them to track down the Millennium Falcon. However, the bounty was collected by Boba Fett who tracked down the light freighter to Cloud City on Bespin.

Behind the scenes
"The bounty hunter switch is a mistake, albeit an ironic one for anyone who collected action figures once upon a time."

- Jason Fry

In Star Wars in 100 Scenes, 4-LOM was identified as the character of Zuckuss. Jason Fry, the book's author, confirmed that it was a mistake in a forum post on TheForce.net.
