ok
No.
But I have a question, why do you repeated mispronounce names? They same the correct pronunciation in the movies and shows.
So what’s the point of intentionally screwing it up?
Ahhhh😂😂🤣🤣🤣 trailer park Batman.
@@Nicfulltime guess
Im going back through some of your old stuff Allen(SP?) including this video. I think its important to keep in mind that the first Star Wars was basically a wild west flick and there are many parallels between the stars wars universe and say 1790s United States. Starting with the "core states" and extending out to the far flung territories which had little law and order, etc. giving rise to crime bosses like the hutts and bounty hunters to enforce various wills across that wild space. This is all very similar to what you are speaking about in this video and it makes much more sense to look at bounty hunters from this wild west perspective. In my opinion. I sure hope someone reads this...
It's very easy to disappear in a Galaxy with millions of star systems. Bounty Hunters are the only way to track criminals down.
I think same reason the Hutts are so strong. They have a grasp of everything the Republic or Empire don't care about.
Not mentioning jurisditcion disputes among police forces in different planets. Having a third unnafiliayed party would keep things more "fair"
And even then, some bounty hunts can take years or even entire decades. And by the time the target gets tracked down they are either already dead, forgotten about, or no longer relevant to the client of a bounty hunter.
Then again, the star wars galaxy already has the technology for people to be able to literally change their appearances and voices and even clone new bodies and transfer your consciousness into them as well as advanced genetic engineering and stasis technology that could allow people to be effectively immortal and just simply outlive any bounty hunter tracking them down.
your post reminded me of a point that Harlan Nayl says while at a Free Trade Station during Firetide when Inquisitor Ravenor asks about being scanned multiple times by various Bounty Hunters... that the bounty hunters scan everyone cause they never know who they might run into whilst hunting their bounty target... they might get lucky and be able to claim more than one bounty warrant (i.e they're there for their current bounty warrant and by chance there's another person with an open bounty warrant waiting to be claimed)
p.s. Harlan Nayl, prior to becoming an agent of the Inquisition as one of Gregor Eisenhorn's and later Gideon Ravenor's Warband, was a Bounty Hunter (if i recall he was in the profession for 10 years)
Even in Star Wars, Stay Strapped or Get Clapped
This is why Cad Bane is such a baller. No miracle armor, no force powers, just a badass who wants a lot of money.
He did wear armour and had a crap ton of weapons on him, but it is true that his biggest assets were a preternaturally fast quickdraw and a bitchin'-sick hat
@@weldonwin I agree I'm torn because I'm one hand he does have his jetpack boots and you know a wide arsenal was from what I understand he got from the mandalorians because apparently Django tutored him at some point or something to explain this, but I view that it even if you ignore him using a lot of weapons that mandalorians also have I can just see him being a smart guy that just has a lot of different weapons and a lot of different tactical options to be able to improvise in a situation so even if he loses his blasters or let's say a Jedi force pulls his blasters away he can still attack. I guess my ultimate round about point is is that the show doesn't necessarily good do a good job of representing this but I love that bit in clone wars where even without a single weapon he is still dangerous because the man is just smart and is always thinking. He doesn't over rely on weapons like certain other factions in Star wars do are over rely on armor.
Even without weapons or armor he is still a threat.
Cad Bane had all the tools at his disposal, but he didn't have miracle armor, and ultimately his alacrin brain power got him as far as he did.

I always chocked it up to a combination of astronomical population, overstretched authorities and an entire universe to hide in with complex & convoluted extradition (like would you *really* be able to extradite a murderer from Alderaan to be executed on Tattoine?)
Considering Alderaan is in the Republic and Tatooine is not - as well as Tatooine not really having an actual government per se... Well, the example wasn't the best. It is conceivable that two Republic worlds would be governed by an extradition treaty potentially passed through the Senate which would govern things between worlds within the Republic (say Alderaan and Corellia), but as soon as you move to worlds that are not in the Republic then extradition would almost certainly be a tall order, especially considering that individual extradition treaties would have to be signed between each individual authority and passed through their respective legislatures - of which there are so damn many...
I guess what I am trying to say is that I agree with you in principle but the example wasn't the best? I don't know anymore.
@@giselleluzern7336 All that you have written is exactly why it's a good example. It being a tall order? That's why it'd be easier to just hire a bounty hunter to fetch them.
bro...just why?
we are all losers here but you are the worst. hve a sleep or something.
Chalked. And do you have a category on the chalk board in your mind that is listed as "combination of astronomical population, overstretched authorities and an entire universe to hide in with complex & convoluted extradition"? That seems like it would make the column particularly wide. And if you do, how many ticks do you have in that category? Imagine if the column for "Ships" was next to that! And after typing all that, you decided randomly to toss in the "&", as if removing two letters would make a =/=. Anyway, that is the first time..... and I can guarantee you the last time, I will ever see someone say I chalked that up to "combination of astronomical population, overstretched authorities and an entire universe to hide in with complex & convoluted extradition"
Thank you, by the way. This was fun.
I get what you mean. Bureaucracy and relations between sectors, systems and even planets.
Bounty Hunters: “I have no such weaknesses.”
From the words of an assassin
"cause at the end of the day, as long as there are two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead"- Sniper, TF2
I always felt that bounty hunters, as they appear in Star Wars were a solution to the problem of interjurisdiction enforcement. If you don't have something along those lines, a criminal (or whatever) can just keep hopping planets, or sectors and basically never have to worry about repercussions.
Also, Dog is a surprisingly nice and well spoken individual in real life. His shows are... their own thing, though.

10:22 do you know what movie or show it’s from ?
@djrock974
That scene is from Mando S2
Jabba's bounty on Han Solo was separate from the Empire's bounty on him. That's why Boba Fett is waiting there after helping the empire find them, and needs Han Solo to survive the carbon freezing. Vader tells him he will be compensated if Solo dies, meaning the Empire will cover the lost bounty from Jabba.
Because the Republic government was loose and incapable of tracking fugitives galaxy-wide, while the Empire only focused on tracking down people who wronged them. So civilians and property owners who want to track down someone who wronged them would have to hire bounty hunters to track down their enemies across the galaxy.
In most space movies, bounty hunting is legal, since policing an entire galaxy is nearly impossible without the help of people willing and with the resource to move from one system to another to catch wanted fugitives, Im guessing it will be the same in the foreseeable future once we reach the space frontier, bounty hunting would become an acceptable profession compared to todays era
I'd say that's a good summary, yeah.
the empire did a serious number on crime, but Palps knew that killing all major crime lords would create a huge power vacuum, so he had the hutt council killed and left Jabba with sole rule of the Hutt territories, and other criminal factions weren't strong enough to challenge him. The rebels kill jabba, and the power vacuum emerges, undoing all the Empire's work.
@@tk-6967 Right, the Rebels undid the Empire's great work of not arresting or executing one of the worst criminals in history, and instead placing him in charge of a large swathe of space.
@@tk-6967
So your just an Imperial apologist, ignoring the fact that crimal enterprises GREW under Imperial rule?
Usually the reward factor of a bounty generally depends on the purchasing power of the dude who puts it up, with rich crime lords like the Hutts and pykes giving high risk big money jobs whilst some dude whose stuff got stolen will generally give you a job that is low risk but also low to 'this might just be enough for food and fuel' amount of money.
Yeah, it's romanticized in not just Star Wars - Gunslingers of the Wild West, Ronin Samurai and Ninja, Medieval Adventurers, Swashbucklers on the Seven Seas, etc. Something about the allure of being nomadic while living by your toughness.
There's always competitors, rivals, and someone who can't pay back.
woh first reply!
No, there are so many bounty hunters in Star Wars because bounty hunters are cool and the writers know that. It's like trying to justify Mace Windu having a purple lightsaber when in truth, there's no reason other than Sam L. Jackson thinking it would be cool...
Separate from the Bounty Hunter Guild, the SWU also hosted a robust and dedicated Assassin's Guild.
whenever i play any star wars roleplay i pick bounty hunter every single time. I think they are so much cooler than any force user. They have their own level of fear they bring
Wouldn't the best combination be a bounty hunter who was also a force user?
@@SKBottom ive thought about that too. Clearing rooms with force lightning
Lol
@@MrEvilTag Getting the truth out of people with Jedi mind tricks. Force choking would also be useful for interrogation. The possibilities are endless.
It's also important to note that you don't necessarily have to be a fallen or wash out Jedi like Count Dooku. There are plenty of other traditions of force users other than Jedi and Sith
@@SKBottom dooku wasnt a washout. He left the jedi because they were complete opposites of what the order was supposed to be and were too close to corrupted government. But i suppose joining the confederacy is no better
Employer: So, why did you want to be a bounty hunter?
Bounty hunter: I need that money
I believe a more accurate comparison would be Star Wars bounty hunters vs our planets Mercenaries
blackwater
@@potatonoodlebear8035 blackwater is more like an organised private army, which also exists in star wars but isnt quite the same vein as the mercanary ish bounty hunters in star wars
Or executive outcomes.
@@potatonoodlebear8035 Those are mercenaries
Using the Star Wars written language as subtitles is good and a new touch.
Ok here's the thing. First, in many parts of the world you CAN walk around armed like that... and heck, in some parts of the world, big companies PAY huge dollars to private security companies BECAUSE people walk around with more weapons then a mandlorian.
next Bounty hunter might not be as common as we think, just because, its what we are "shown" sure there are bounty hunters guilds, but gain on earth there are similar things with companies that hire, and government oversite... at least in the western world.
now lets also remember, in usa there are "several jobs" that would fall under the bounty hunter in starwar's perview. (and lets remember there is a difference between an assassin who captures or kills for illegal people, and a bounty hunter who is supposed to be doing it for the government). Consider Repossession agents, in star wars bounty hunters are often called to "repossess" ships. How many repossession agencies are there in the USA?
@@bigredwolf6 Yes but consider, open carrying a pistol or rifle... ok fine, CC'ing a pistol, ok fine...
Walking around with An RPG, 3 RPG rounds on your back, and a fully automatic RPK-74... That you picked up at the open air market.
@@jenniferstewarts4851 most open air market carry old weapons I've been to one and they jad m1 grand Lee Enfield rifle and rare older guns I think your over exaggerating that last bit
@@jenniferstewarts4851 and no some state and or city like new York and California make it such a hassle or you can't that there no point
@@Utter_Disc Umm, no, i'm not. though i would NOT trust guns in the Kyber Pass markets. You might find a belt fed machine gun... but if its... real... or not... is a different story. Kyber pass makes counterfeit firearms... they will take a glock for example and.. copy it, making it as close as they can to the origional... but often with cheaper metals.
no, there are many countries where you can get these guns, some modern, some old, most soviet...
Royally peeves me off cuz things like STG-44's and MG-34's show up there all... and those things should really be in museums.
But no, criminals, gangs, pirates, will raid government store houses in one country, then sell them in open air markets in another...
Its not something that happens in the USA... usually... unless its run by the government, *coughs fast and furious*
@@Utter_Disc well yes, but people are also fleeing those places en mass. companies are abandining it... and their true death nel is truckers are stopping doing work there.
Here in Idaho, we're all technically bounty hunters. Look it up, any resident of Idaho can at will function as an active bounty hunter. My own private Mandalore lol.
The laws around bounty hunting IRL in the US are insanely arcane and complex. Some states allow it, others don't, and still others allow it with really bizarre restrictions. For instance, in Florida bounty hunting is legal...but you can't call it that. You cannot refer to yourself as a "bounty hunter" or "bail recovery agent", you have to use the very specific term of "surety agent" and be a registered bail bondsman in the state. It's really weird.
Would be funny if it were portrayed accurately in Star Wars. I find the idea of someone like Boba Fett having to fill out mountains of bureaucratic paperwork to hunt a bounty on a certain planet with really complex laws kinda amusing.
If that were the case then why would anyone become a bounty hunter?
@@nil981 I mean, people become bounty hunters IRL despite all the red tape, so
Not "basically everyone" in Star Wars is a bounty hunter lol. The stories focus on exciting, dangerous, unique characters. If they focused on the mundane you'd have 1 bounty hunter tale for every 50 trillion regular citizen just minding their own business tale in the Star Wars universe.
I think he was playing on the idea that the 'bounty hunter' trade had essentially become standardized and legal. Theoretically 'anyone' could find a target.
maybe more like 1 for every 100k, doesnt mean theyd be galaxy reknown but still not uncommon
@@avtar1699 Standardized and legal? On some planets sure.
According to family legend, I have a Spanish ancestor from New Mexico who was a bounty hunter and fought in the civil War for the Union. I do not know how much of this is true, but I do know for sure he was Hispanic and he fought in the American civil War at least. Always thought the possible bounty hunter part was cool
I mean when the criminals have literally infinite space to run to the local law enforcement well only track them so far before they outsource it to some kind a contractor be that a governments military or the bounty hunters guild, also on the topic of Americans calling the cops on heavily armed individuals I saw a post of a dude doing a clone trooper cosplay photo shoot and got the cops called on him.
I love how detailed star wars is with full economy and industry’s
Dog doesn't use a firearm because he's a felon and not allowed to own one.
Also, many states haven't updated their laws for bond enforcement, so the warrant will usually read something like "present the body of *name* before this court". This wording actually makes pretty much any level of force to be used in the arrest, so long as there is no collateral damage.
I suspect that bounty hunters were much like Jedi in the sense that they only appeared if something of importance to the powers at be was happening. In other words, the vast majority of the galaxy never saw them.
I always thought two things about bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe. One, it was a convenient story arc trope to address plot problems (ie, lazy writing). Two, it was an example of false perception of presence, in that it only seems like bounty hunters were abundant because the circumstances surrounding their employment was common.
There is also the fact that worlds were for the most part self-ruled and laws on one planet had little or no jurisdiction on another. So someone could commit a bunch of crimes on one world, hop into a starship and go somewhere else and whatever law existed in the first world pretty much couldn't touch them. And this was true even under the tightly controlled time of the Empire, because there were planets and entire systems that were still largely out of their reach. Some crime syndicates even controlled entire systems of their own.
With no galactic peacekeeping force aside from the small numbers of the Jedi and the ease of skipping planets Bounty Hunters became the best way to deal with wanted people. They were willing to go anywhere to chase their target, sometimes even risking capture by whatever local peacekeeping force there was. Since anyone with power and influence in their local system could post bounties, that lead to even nominally non-criminals getting bounties, like all the times the CIS sent Cad Bane or other hunters after key political figures. Or crime lords set bounties on smugglers to lose their cargo too often.
What you describe are hitman or killer.
A large postwar society whose government's reach exceeds its grasp, and has a lot of unpoliced frontier territory, and still enemies at the margins. This describes the Republic most of the time, the Empire in its short reign, the New Republic, or for that matter postcolonial Africa, post WW2 Asia, or the American frontier after 1865. These are social situations in which mercenary units, bounty hunters, assassins, private security companies, private armies or just hired guns will always flourish. Substitute guns with bladed weapons, and you've got a phenomenon recurring throughout all times and places.
Came for Cad and got Matt Foley as a bonus. :)
Mira from TSl was noticeably a Bounty Hunter (with a strict personal code), and eventually became a Jedi if you chose the right options.
Once he brought up Dog The Bounty Hunter I knew this was going to be not only insightful but tremendous!
The way I see it, the galaxy in Star Wars is a very large and expansive place, even at the height of its power the Empire couldn’t control every single world under its dominion apart from local or planetary defense forces if you put a bolt through someone in the mid or outer rim you could in essence get away with it hell theoretically get away with it on the lower levels of coruscant, lawlessness coupled with an ever chaotic environment prevalent to most worlds that didn’t have a heavy presence of the galactic govt you were in essence free to operate as you saw fit. Much like the Black Water, Craft Intl, and GRS, private military contractors we saw in the early 2000’s you sometimes need unconventional if not non military forces to get the job done it’s debatable whether the use of such implements are justified however they don’t necessarily need to follow the rules of war.
Yeah probably the same reason the Jedi can't police the whole galaxy at their peak and slavery going on.
Most people have friends, family and some group they belong to. So anyone attacking them might run into more trouble that he can handle and ends up dead
Dog the Bounty Hunter is awesome. He's helped a lot of people i love that you made that connected
I miss your “What If” stories.
If you do them again, can you do What if all the Jedi died at the Geonosis’s Execution Arena before Yoda came to save them.
'Dog' the Bounty Hunter (Duane Chapman) is only limited to 'non lethal' weapons because was arrested and jailed for murder after he was involved in a pot deal that turned sour.
"A ship would bring you work. A gun would help you keep it."
Much like Yemen, Mexico, Oman, Somalia, and most of Eastern Africa, there are some places even the mightiest armies can’t touch. Sure you could send in special forces, but every little grievance hardly is recognized by large governments. Sometimes you need someone willing to get their hands dirty to do the job.
1:03 My favorite comedy routine ever!
Never thought about this, but this is a super good question. Great vid!
Don't forget it was still legal during even the Old Republic days aswell. As long you still had proper identification and your job was still through a bunch of paperwork
This hits at a perfect time. I need more Star Wars. ty
I’m blessed enough to be acquainted with Dog the Bounty Hunter. He is an absolutely humble and wonderful man. Though I would not want to try and run from him, or try to grapple with him.
The guy looks like a freaking wrestling heel and I'm pretty sure all of his shows are fake and staged.
@@nil981 as The Big Lebowski said “well, that’s just like, you’re opinion, man.”
Dog was a bail bondsman. He didn’t get his tv show until after he took down a Andrew Luster, who was heir to the cosmetics company Max Factor who had fled the country in the middle of his trial on charges of drugging and raping women. Long story short, Mexican authorities arrested Dog & co on “Deprivation of Liberty” charges, but the US government was able to force them to dismiss the charges.
He also was in a motorcycle gang and spent 18mo in a Texas clink for a murder charge at 23. That felony conviction is why he cannot and does not use firearms and mace and tasers are the closest he can get.
So yes, A&E may fluff his shit up a bit, but it’s more like _Cops_ than WWE
I feel attacked watching from my camper van.
"Live long and prosper" my friends.
This is an extremely easy question to answer. In short:
1. The known regions Star Wars Galaxy is larger than our whole galaxy.
2. Crime has always and will always exist wherever there is civilization
3. There will never be a shortage of sentients that will think shooting people for money is a good idea, even in Dead OR Alive jobs.
4. There will never be a shortage of Law Enforcers or scorned rich people who will pay handsomely to bring in criminals and thieves, or to kill them.
I know this, not because I have been a modern Bounty Hunter, but because of the existence of Private Military Contractors, Bail Bonds Agents, Private Security Forces, and because of my personal distrust and lack of faith in humanity in general.
I hated being a bounty hunter in SWTOR, even though I liked having a mere pistol. Aside from the main campaign, you basically served the Sith Empire because their troops were too incompetent to do things without your assistance. In many cases I felt like I'm doing someone else's job.
Yah, that is accurat and proper
Ypu are a Bounty Hunter. You are paid to do a Job.
In Old Republic, I'm a Sith Warrior, but basically every player class is a mercenary: doing other people's dirty work in exchange for money and stuff (clothes, weapons, upgrade parts, what-have-you).
Thank you for the subtitles in Aurebesh, it’s hard to read the ancient script above. 10/10 accessibility
You should do a video on why technological progress seems so slow in Star Wars. Why does the old republic around 3-4 thousand bby look so similar to the prequels and originals?
You should try a search button. There's a shitton of videos u exactly looking for
@@radeczech15 of course there is thanks! 😁
Your sardonic satire and sarcasm are sharp.
Trailer park batman LOL. Your quick nonchalant digs are my fav.
The Star Wars universe’s real world equivalent could have been if the 1920s Great Depression had somehow caused the collapse of nearly all the major national governments and political power was retained only on the city state level and with a nearly symbolic League of Nations remaining in existence. I would say THEN you could have the equivalent of a Star Wars bounty Hunter whose profession would be internationally recognized partly because the local magistrates would be susceptible to a little compensation and the added relief that those the bounty Hunter captured would have been beyond their own limited resources to control since federal courts and prisons would be nonexistent . These bounty hunters couldn’t rely on a single vessel but depending on the range they were able to operated could have some combination of boat or mobile home with lightweight secondary vehicles like side car motorcycles, or light weight planes with folding wings that could fit onto a trailer on land or craned out from a larger water vessel and be equipped with wheeled floats for amphibious landing. Your more successful bounty hunters would operate in teams or have lesser skilled crew members (human versions of droids)
All this being said we have to remind ourselves that we are NOT seeing an accurate representation of bounty hunters , or to me more precise we are not discussing an accurate representation of bounty hunters. For the most part we are only seeing the members of the bounty hunter’s guild an elite group of bounty hunters who have banded together to take over the market.
The bounty hunters guild operate like the way the NWA used to operate on the professional wrestling world.
dog the trailer park bat man!! LOL funniest thing all year!
Wise words of a bounty hunter: "You need not hang all mean bastards, but mean bastards you need to hang."
Allen is freaking funny! Great channel .
I love how when he's talking about the Saber I thought " yeah but can it take a hit" then he proceeded to smack something with it
really injoyed the can by the river
i hit the like icon before i watched the video cause i knew it would be good ....not disappointed :)
Every starwars roleplay I pick the bountyhunter/outlaw/merchant build.
Take the bounty, when I get the target I Carbonite there ass, take gear and scavenge what they got from there base/camp or home,
Take target to the place of payment, sell the loot I got off them on the market or if valuable sell to other members of the guild after I fix them up.
After ever big gig I would take small gigs as a law enforcement for small towns in the outer rim for a contract of a season or two until the town was able to handle themselves agian.
I would often be a information/tracher toward the end of my charecters life, .
I would have taken my earnings to set up a small town on Tatooine that specializes in water/agriculture/medicle herb farming, the center would be a massive cantina that the bounty guild would have a place to relax an cool off from the heat.
I'm not sure I'd compare Boba Fette to Dog the Bounty Hunter. Boba seems like he'd be one of the people who'd be known in his field but not well known by the populous.
I enjoy your videos and the ideas and questions you raise diving into Star Wars. I've been wondering for a while now about your pronunciation of many Star Wars characters, planets, etc. Do you intentionally pronounce things differently than the accepted Star Wars pronunciations? Like emphasizing different syllables than the accepted/canon pronunciations? Some people may hear it and think, "This person does not really know Star Wars."
"Vanlife" is not as bad as you make it seem. While it does obviously have down sides, just like living in apartments or houses does. A lot of pros to each also.
I think america and Mandalore are pretty similar in gun ownership per capita with mandalore being slightly more
simple enough, It's cheaper than having your own security force that is capable of performing the same work of your average bounty hunter for a far cheaper price
Oh hey, I have a poster version of the background image Allan's using here, that's neat
I think alot of things would be clarified if ppl understood just how big a galaxy really is. Its not like a bigger version of a solar system the way alot of franchises try to portray it. A galaxy is several orders of magnitude larger.
In fact, it might help if filmmakers understood that, also 🤔
When you mentioned about the whole "waiting for thousands of years for memberships in the Republic" in the video, it made me wonder why joining the Galactic Republic is a good idea. After all, the Core Worlds and the Republic did nothing but harming the Outer Rim again and again. And it reached to the points that the peoples of the Outer Rim viewed the Republic to be not different from the Hutts, the Zyggarians and the Sith like at all. So if the Sith are not to be in charge of the Outer Rim because it will radicalized the Jedi into heartless warmongers, then let the Hutts and the Zyggarians rule the Outer Rim because at least, these guys are "a little" closer to their peoples.
And in some plaves they prosper, not too the levels of the core, but prosper non the less.
@@abelardodelatorresolis3966 Can you name me some of those places, please? And no, Naboo does not count since the Republic decided to just send a team of investigators as the Trade Federation's senator suggested. And neither Kashyyyk and Mon Cala can be counted as well because the Republic didn't do anything to stop the Trandoshan slavers from hunting the Wookies and never do anything to dissolve the dispute between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren.
@@lerneanlion well i was going to tell you mon cala but you got me there
Shot answer: Hundreds of trillions of beings, potentially hundreds of millions or even billions of criminals.
The galaxy is huge. Besides the core worlds even the Empire/Republic at their peak can't police the outer rims and other parts. Especially using resources on a single fugitive hence the need for bounty hunters/assasins/smugglers.
You could, just it would essentially require a secret service type agency that filled the same role as bounty hunters.
heeeey, you got the "J" in Jaster Mereel correct this time. nice. next step, get the 'a' down. rhymes with caster/faster/blaster, "Jaster".
😂
They were more like bounty hunters, adventures, mercenaries, thugs-for-hire etc.
Well its based in the early 1900s western life, which had an abundance of bounty hunters in that time as a profession
So how much did Din Djarin get for the child ... yes I know he got a stack of Beskar but what is it worth .. do we know how much a bar of Beskar is ... is it by gram/ounce/kilogram/pound?
10:22 what movie or show did this come from ?
Scale of the galaxy is the main reason. It's hard to police one nation on earth... so imagine the difficulty at policing the entire galaxy. And the issues with bureaucracy: city government, region government(aka state), planetary government, stellar government... And all the subsections of each of them. Not to mention the criminals can easily get out of the law's covered area (lots of areas where said governments were not in power)
Because they are pure badass.
Din Djarin is my personal favorite.

its a good job mate, i garuntee you wont go hungry
Great video! Besides, what else is a former military or thug supposed to do for a living?
Seeing them in the background image... What are the stories behind Zuckus, 4LOM, and the other bounty hunters?
Dog the Bounty Hunter lives in my town. In Colorado of all places. With his tan I was expecting Hawaii or Florida, but no.
I feel like bounty hunting in Star Wars is essentially the same principle as the Mid-West expansion during the 1800s. Law Enforcement was scarce, and more often then naught someone was armed with lethal weaponry.
Because at the end of the day, as long as there's two people left in the galaxy someone's gonna want someone dead
Hear the quote by TF2 Sniper, “at the end of the day, someone will always want someone else dead”
I know I got that kind of wrong
Omg!!! 😆 🤣 Trailer Park Batman...
Cheaper to send the Bounty Hunter than a garrison of Storm troopers. That will not be able to hide there presences.
Side note: it depends where in America you’re walking around like a mandalorian. I know I’ve seen people walking down the streets with AKs ARs, and I just drive on by and make no eye contact. Only stupid people anywhere will try to irritate or do anything about an armed being.
Alan is literally fragging with the lore omg omg omg
Speaking to real bounty hunters about boba Fett!
Oh I can answer this easily.... someone's always effing up 😂
because the galaxy is friggan humongous
I think more along the lines of
Steve McQueen in
WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE.
This is what I felt MANDALORIAN
should be.
Bounty hunting just makes sense for an empire or broken republic looking to hire someone who can hunt down traitors or enemies. When you know stormtroopers can’t do it and you don’t want bad press.
It doesn't make sense at all as it is to costly to fly from planet to planet on the search for a certain person.
Also unlike the Star Wars universe....In America at least, only state, municipal, or federal governments may issue legal bounties. Bail Bondsman organizations are the only private organizations that can issue them.
Dog the bounty hunter was arrested in 1976. Chapman(Dog the bounty hunter) was convicted of first degree murder, and sentenced to five years in a Texas prison. This is why he is not allowed to use a firearm not due to his occupation. Keep up the great work on the starwars content love to watch.
Ps who like's the irony in that dog is a felons who catches other felons
