'''''Star Wars: Bounty Hunter''''' is a [[Star Wars]] videogame which take place before the events of [[Attack of the Clones]] and tells the story of [[Bounty Hunter|Jango]] [[Badass|Fett]], and how he was chosen as the template for the clone army.
A mysterious cult, the Bando Gora, is wreaking havoc in the galaxy. Its members are distributing a dangerous variation of [[Fantastic Drug|death sticks]], which turn users into [[Brainwashed and Crazy|mindless devotees]]. The leader of the cult, the fallen Jedi [[Ax Crazy|Komari Vosa]] has become a threat even to [[Big Bad|Darth Sidious]]'s plans, so he orders his disciple [[The Dragon|Darth Tyranus]] to take care of her. So he decide to hire several bounty hunters, offering a large reward for the head of Vosa. Soon, Jango Fett and his [[The Rival|rival Montross]] start their hunt across the galaxy.
Line 8:
Armed with a large arsenal of weapons, Jango must fight his way in several, difficult levels divided in six chapters. Along the way he can also capture other bounties and find the Mandalorian Golden Feathers to unlock the bonus content.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Zam Wesell, met halfway through the game.
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: Averted, Sebolto and the Hutts speaks their native, subtitled language.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Many of the criminals you have to search for will eventually be pitifully weak (provided they don't end up dying during a ''cutscene'').
** Also Gardulla's pet Krayt Dragon by itself. The only real challenge in this battle are the guards shooting you with rocket launchers and forcing you to move around.
* [[Anti
** However, Jango probably ends the game as a Type IV, with {{spoiler|Roz's dying wish for him to find something to live for besides money inspiring him to include Boba's creation as a condition of becoming a clone template.}}
** On a slightly more optimistic note, Zam Wesell probably qulifies as a Type IV. Her motives are more or less the same as Jango's and she does betray him, but gets to make up for it by saving him from Vosa. Roz is more of a Type III, running a low life criminal hideout and scamming credits off of Jango. However, she genuinely cares for him and helps him throughout the story despite being well aware of the risks.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
* [[Badass Normal]]: Jango, of course, and Montross as well.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: Highly unusual for ''Star Wars'', but when the most morally upstanding character is a money-grubbing, swindling, vain Toydarian then you know this trope is in effect. Jango is involved purely for personal gain, murders dozens of law enforcement officers during his hunt, and (depending on the player's own aim) may even end up killing a civilian or two.
** Not to mention civilian bounties like an Ugnaught maintanence worker who plans to sell corporate secrets and is wanted for more dead. Hardly a morally upstanding guy, but not nearly as bad as Jango.
** [[Fridge Logic]]: Those same law enforcement officers will instantly fill you with blaster fire just for passing near them. WTF?
*** Well, considering that you're a heavily-armored, gun-toting man trying to break into a Senatorial apartment tower and a maximum-security prison, the shoot-on-sight orders are probably justified.
Line 36 ⟶ 34:
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Meeko Ghintee, your first bounty in the first chapter.
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: {{spoiler|Senator Trell}}.
* [[Dual
* [[Enemy Scan]]: Installed in Jango's helmet, allows him to see the eventual bounties on the people and enemies around him.
* [[Escort Mission]]: A brief segment with Zam in the second level of Chapter 4 on Malastare. She can take care of herself, though.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: On one side we have Komari Vosa, an [[Ax Crazy]] priestess of a [[Religion of Evil]] bend on brainwashing as many people as possible. Then we have Montross, a brutal and ruthless bounty hunter who leaves only death in his wake. However, Jango himself is surely not a good guy, and doesn't even try to justify himself.
* [[Family
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Gardulla the Hutt.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Between Komari Vosa and Jango Fett.
Line 46 ⟶ 44:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Good luck locating all those Secondary Bounties without one.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Jango's main weapon. Also, the Tatooine criminal Longo Two-Guns.
* [[Hey,
** [[Clancy Brown|Montross]] is [[Superman:
** [[Corey Burton]] once again stands in for [[Christopher Lee]] as Count Dooku.
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: One of the special features, including scenes such as a Bando Gora captain hiding in the background of some cut-scenes and waving at the audiece, Montross stopping a scene to complain about his hair gel and Jango expressing his frustration at having to react to a ping-pong ball on the end of a stick (an infamous criticism of the Star Wars prequel movies).
Line 53 ⟶ 51:
* [[It Got Worse]]: Jango's original plan for breaking into the prison on Oovo IV was to sneak in, take the prisoner and leave. However, because of Zam causing a riot, he was forced to change his plans, ending up destroying a good part of the prison and killing many of the guards and inmates along the way.
* [[Jet Pack]]: You obtain it halfway through the second level of the first chapter. It can't be used in the first mission on Tatooine because the extreme late-day heat causes the cooling system to break down.
* [[Jerk
* [[Just Desserts]]: Gardulla attempts to kill you by summoning her giant [[Our Dragons Are Different|Krayt Dragon]] into her own throne hall, but is eaten by the monster. She's later barfed by the monster who couldn't digest her properly.
* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]: The High Priests of the Bando Gora wear a skull mask with horns.
Line 61 ⟶ 59:
* [[Nice Guy]]: Wim "Smootie" Smoot, one of the prisoners of Oovo IV. He speaks with Jango and even helps him later for no particular reason, other than it's the only way he can think of to strike back at the prison's establishment.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The whole game from Oovo IV forward becomes this.
* [[No
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: Most of the Bando Gora cultists are little more than [[
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Montross, a Mandalorian deserter turned bounty hunter.
{{quote|
'''Montross''': ''You're worth enough dead.'' }}
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Montross, who later sports Mandalorian armor just like Jango.
* [[Religion of Evil]]: The Bando Gora.
* [[Ruins for Ruins Sake]]: The last level is set on a dark moon full of ruined buildings and a castle.
* [[Strong Flesh, Weak Steel]]: Your first bosses are usually vehicles of some kind. Then the boss of the fifth chapter is a gargantuan Krayt Dragon and the later bosses in the sixth are all human.
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: Gardulla somehow survived being eaten by a Krayt Dragon.
** [[External Retcon]]: The dragon threw her back up, finding her to be indigestible. Hutt hides are notoriously tough.
Line 76 ⟶ 74:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Jango and his informant/self-appointed adoptive mother, Rozatta.
* [[Walking Armory]]: Jango. He can collect weapons from his enemies, but has also:
** [[Kill It
** [[Grappling Hook Pistol]]: Excellent for binding your foes or capturing a bounty.
** [[Poisoned Weapons]]: The Kaminoan saberdarts, perfect for insta-killing those wild nexu in the Malastare jungle.
** [[Sniper Rifle]]: For [[Massive Damage]].
** [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Starting with thermal detonators and ending with special missiles.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Jango is a Type V Anti-Hero throughout most of the game, but on Oovo IV and the final level of Coruscant he leans towards this, as he's pitted against enemies who are decent, law abiding people, like civilians and security staff. This would be bad enough but his actions go beyond cynical pragmatist as he murders an unarmed, albeit corrupt, Senator for no apparent reason other than sadism, and hands Bendix Fust over to Sebolto despite knowing full well that he'll probably torture Fust to death. Combined with his purely selfish motives, this probably pushes him too far to be even an extreme Anti-Hero, especially given that the destruction of Oovo IV likely puts his body count pretty close to Vosa and Montross.
** To be fair, most (if not all) of the cops guarding Senator Trell's tower are implied (a few are even directly stated) to be corrupt, as is the ''entire'' corrections staff on Oovo IV. As for the civilians, most of the time you won't be ''intentionally'' killing them unless they've got a price on their head; the rest of the time they just happen to be dumb enough to run into the crossfire of a blaster fight. Also, Jango does get (slightly) better by the end of the game.
* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mentor]]: A reason for fighting Montross.
