- "You know, I'm going to start tracking how many times I've saved you. Today, the nest of gundarks, the Moggonite bounty hunter on Vaced."
- ―Anakin Skywalker, to Obi-Wan Kenobi
Moggonites were a social group in the galaxy.[1] At some point between 32 BBY and 22 BBY,[2] Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, encountered a Moggonite bounty hunter on the astronomical object Vaced, during which Skywalker saved Kenobi's life. Later, during a mission to the planet Cato Neimoidia, Skywalker brought up the encounter after saving Kenobi's life again, saying he was going to start tracking how many times he had saved the then-Jedi Master.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- "All the stuff with Gizman was from me, though. It's just one of the goofiest charactera from Shadows of the Empire—I wanted to directly call out Big Giz because the name was just so ridiculous but we pulled it back to the "Moggonite bounty hunter" because people who knew would catch it. "
- ―Mike Chen
Moggonites were first mentioned in the current canon in the 2022 novel Brotherhood, written by Mike Chen.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, Moggonites were a mammalian sentient species. They first appeared in the comic story "Life, Death, and the Living Force," written by Jim Woodring and illustrated by Robert Teranishi. It was published in the first issue of Star Wars Tales[4] by Dark Horse Comics on September 29, 1999.[5]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Brotherhood
- ↑ Brotherhood indicates that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi encountered the Moggonite bounty hunter while the former was the latter's Padawan. Skywalker became Kenobi's apprentice in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, which is dated to 32 BBY by Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, and is promoted to Jedi Knight in Brotherhood, which is set between the First Battle of Geonosis and the Battle of Christophsis, which are both dated to 22 BBY by Galactic Atlas. As such, the encounter must have occurred between those two years.
