Captain Solo, how did you get out of the carbonite? Put down that whip!"

Brian Daley (+4)
"They're the grimmest reapers. They're beings who stalk the twilight free-fire zone between the law of the jungle and the retribution of governments. They're red of fang and claw, answerable to no one. Ruthless&mdash;respecting authority only when it's backed by naked force. Many are as criminal as their quarry. Their license to kill comes from the mint and their own dark drives. A name on a wanted notice empowers them to seek out prey, run it to the ground&hellip;capture or slay it."

- Brian Daley, on bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe
