Skorr

"Well, the bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind."

- Han Solo

Skorr was a cybernetically-enhanced humanoid bounty hunter. He and his diminutive colleague, Gribbet, were regularly seen on Ord Mantell.

Biography
He had something of a grudge against an agent called Kestrel, whom had allegedly stolen something from him and strayed onto his turf. He teamed up with fellow bounty hunter Bossk and flushed Kestrel out of her hiding place on Ord Mantell, but failed to capture her.

When the Heroes of Yavin arrived on the planet to repair the Millennium Falcon, Skorr attempted to use Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa as bait to capture Han Solo, who was under a death mark from Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Han was able to turn the tables on Skorr, managing to both rescue his friends and trick the cyborg into interfering with an Imperial Star Destroyer.

Ironically, and despite Skorr claiming to be intimately familiar with bounty postings, the bounty on Han Solo's head had been temporarily rescinded by Jabba during Han Solo's visit to Ord Mantell, following a misadventure with the crimelord's accountant on Orleon.

For his interference, Skorr was sent to the spice mines of Kessel. Some time later, he managed to escape, teaming with several other bounty hunters to capture Solo from the pirate Raskar. However, in a fierce struggle with Solo on Ord Mantell, Skorr managed to accidentally kill himself with his own blaster.

Behind the scenes



 * Han's reference in The Empire Strikes Back to "that bounty hunter on Ord Mantell" spawned many stories attempting to document the incident, and so the hunters Cypher Bos, Alfreda Goot, Boba Fett, and Czethros have also been said to be that bounty hunter. The StarWars.com Databank, however, confirms that Skorr, whose story was told first, is the hunter to which Han is referring in the film.
