History VideoGame / StarWarsBountyHunter

* ShadowArchetype: Like Jango, Montross is an ex-Mandalorian who turned to bounty hunting, but while Fett purses it mearly as a profession, Montross uses it to indulge in his sadism, enjoying the terror he causes in his targets before killing them regardless of what they might be worth captured.

* StrongFleshWeakSteel: The first bosses are vehicles (Meeko's spaceship in the first level, a police gunship in the second level, a giant guard droid in the third level), and the final three are animals and/or humans (Montross in the fourth level, Longo Two-Guns and the krayt dragon in the fifth level, and Montross and Vosa in the final level).

** Jango's rival, Montross, freezes the death stick drug dealer Groof Haugg [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack in carbonite]]. Unlike Han Solo, the latter doesn't survive.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:Zam Wesell sells Jango out to Gardulla the Hutt (on the grounds that she thought he was going to abandon her in a prison cell), but eventually pulls a BigDamnHeroes and rescues him from Vosa.]]

* HopelessBossFight: In the third Tatooine level, Jango has his gear stolen by Gardulla and is thrown into an arena with a Krayt dragon and two Gamorreans. The latter are tough to fight since your only weapon is your fists, and you have absolutely no chance against the massive Krayt Dragon, whose stomps alone will knock Jango off his feet, and kill him instantly if he even tries to get close. Your only option is to use Jango's torch to escape through a nearby grate. Later on, you fight the same Krayt Dragon in Gardulla's throne room, but since Jango has all of his gear back by then, the playing field is evened and Jango successfully kills it.

* InsultBackfire: Whenever Montross tries to taunt Jango, he usually get's the last word:

* JustDesserts: Gardulla attempts to kill you by summoning her giant [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Krayt Dragon]] into her own throne hall, but is eaten by the monster. She's later barfed up by the monster as it couldn't digest her properly.

-->'''Bounty''': Montross! I'll pay you double... triple! Please, I'm worth more alive!

* PsychoticManchild: From making chilling puns about his victims, to making rhymes about his enemies in combat, Montross has a pretty sick sense of humor.

* RuinsForRuinsSake: The last level is set on a dark moon full of ruined buildings and a castle.

** ExternalRetcon: The dragon threw her back up, finding her to be indigestible. Hutt hides are notoriously tough.

-->'''Senator Trell''': [[OhCrap No, wait!]] ''(Jango drops him to his death.)''

** Jango and Zam Wessell show a more cordial side to them when off the job, but that doesn't stop them from killing/capturing people with prizes on their heads, regardless of the reason.

** 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, guns down 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.

** Rosatta mentions that she knows a Toydarian junk dealer on Tatooine, obviously referring to Watto. The boss fight on the first Tatooine level is set inside a podracer hanger, where you can see Gasgano and Dud Bolt's podracers.

** Nexu, the tiger like monster used in the Geonosis arena in ''Attack of the Clones'', appears as a recurring enemy on Malastare.

* CoolStarship: The sleek, heavily armed Slave 1 made its chronological (but now non-canon) debut in the game. It was one of six prototype patrol craft for the Oovo IV prison, which Jango steals to escape, since his original starship, ''Jasters Legacy'', was destroyed by one of the same craft. He destroys the hanger it was from to ensure the other ships don't trail them, making the ship he stole the last of its kind.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler: Zam Wesell sells Jango out to Gardulla the Hutt, but eventually pulls a BigDamnHeroes and rescues him from Vosa.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the average Star Wars property. Force-users and [[AmusingAlien amusing aliens]] have a very downplayed presence, with the story instead focusing on the galaxy's seedy underbelly, played much more realistically than usual for the setting, with nary a LoveableRogue to be found. You can slaughter civilians with your firearms with no repercussions or set enemies ablaze with your flamethrower and listen to them run around and scream in pain before expiring. The protagonist is an amoral mercenary who sometimes kills defenseless targets for money, and the storyline involves investigating an ''incredibly'' creepy underworld murder-drug cult. Definitely one of the titles in the library leaning more on WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids.

* DualWielding: Jango uses two chrome blaster pistols as his primary weapons just like in Attack Of The Clones. Komari Vosa wields two lightsabers at once when you fight her.

* EliteMook: The security droids on Oovo IV. They hit hard and are much hardier than the other enemies in the level--they can even shrug off at least one attack from Jango's jetpack missiles.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler: Montross falls into a pit and is torn apart alive by a raving group of Bando Gora cultists while screaming for mercy]].
* FatBastard: Gardulla the Hutt.

%%* GuideDangIt: Good luck locating all those Secondary Bounties without one.

* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Most of the levels are tough, especially from Oovo IV and on. With the exception of Longo Two-Guns and Komari Vosa, the bulk of the boss fights are very easy and simplistic.

--> '''Captain:''' Probably another glitch, like that false bio-signature we saw in the cargo hold earlier.

* JustDesserts: Gardulla attempts to kill you by summoning her giant [[OurDragonsAreDifferent 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.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Montross is torn to pieces and eaten by Bando Gora cultists.]]

* MirrorBoss: The final fight with Montross has him equip a jetpack and his old Mandalorian helmet to fight Jango one on one to the death where he'll employ much of the same equipment against him that Jango's been using the whole game.

* MrExposition: Roz's main role, aside from being Fett's MoralityPet and the PluckyComicRelief, is to provide exposition on Jango's targets and what he needs to do each level.

** Right before sending [[spoiler: Senator Trell]] to a DisneyVillainDeath, Jango says the same sentence his son Boba says in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'': "As you wish." (the police were commanding Jango to release his hostage). Also, the second level on Tatooine brings you close to the Sarlaac's pit and the whole level resembles the same scenario from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.

** Jango Fett mostly kills unsavory types like mobsters and pirates, he has ''some'' moral standards compared to Montross, and the main antagonist of his quest is far more evil than he is...and that's about it. He's only in it for the money, never claims to be a good or just guy, and often ends up fighting and killing even innocents and security guards. To be honest, he and Montross in the end are not so different. However, towards the end Jango does get another small redeeming feature when he remembers [[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]].

* SeeYouInHell: Montross will give this line to Jango in their final encounter, win or lose. Jango's response is for Montross to save him a seat before leaving him to be EatenAlive by the Bando Goro.

* SignificantAnagram: Montross is just one placement of an S and a U away from being the word Monstrous, [[BloodKnight which fits his character.]]

* SuitUpOfDestiny: Performed in a minor SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome by Jango Fett. After being captured and tortured by a Dark Jedi, he's rescued by Zam Wessel and, once he drives off the Jedi and checks on the injured Zam, Fett has a badass Suit Up scene before he finishes the hunt.

-->'''Senator Trell''': [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Do what he says, Bounty Hunter]]

-->'''Senator Trell''': [[OhCrap No, wait!]]

* VideoGameFlamethrowersSuck: Mostly averted. It will instantly kill practically any non-boss enemy. Well, they'll spend a few seconds writhing in agonizing pain, but the point is they won't be attacking you. Due to it's limited range, you probably won't be using it against common Mooks armed with blasters too often. But against hoards of Bando Gora rushing you, the flamethrower is invaluable as they can shrug off quite a few shots from your standard blasters. Just remember that it draws fuel from your jetpack, albeit at a much slower rate.
* VillainousBreakdown: Gardulla the Hutt, [[spoiler: and later Montross, as he's being dog-piled by the Bando Gora and eaten alive.]]

''Star Wars: Bounty Hunter'' is a ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' videogame released on the UsefulNotes/NintendoGamecube and UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 on November 19, 2002. It takes place before the events of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and tells the story of [[BountyHunter Jango]] [[BadassNormal Fett]], and how he was chosen as the template for the clone army. Creator/TemueraMorrison reprised the role through voice acting.

The game was ported to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 in 2015 as part of a digital voucher alongside ''VideoGame/SuperStarWars'', ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsEpisodeIRacer Racer Revenge]]'' and ''VideoGame/JediStarfighter'' included in a console bundle for ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront2015'', and later got a standalone digital release in 2016, with a limited physical release via Limited Run in 2019.

* NintendoHard: The whole game from Oovo IV forward becomes this. The biggest reason is that Jango has no MercyInvincibility and the mooks are frequent, show up in groups, often carry heavy firepower and show no display of MookChivalry. And the game is not above [[TrialAndErrorGameplay blindsiding you]] with occasional respawning enemies or sneak attacks from an enemy out of nowhere, such as the snipers from the Tatooine level. This is a game that ''will'' mop the floor with you if you let your guard down.

* InsultBackfire: Montross tries to taunt Jango:

* LargeHam: Montross, being voiced by Clancy Brown and very little restraint of any kind was applied in the role. Vosa is no slouch either, showing that the hamminess of an evil Force user isn't limited to the Sith.

* NiceGuy: 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.

* AllTiedUp: What happes to any victim of Jango's whipcord launcher, and the only way to claim bounties alive. Meeko Ghintee, Jervis Gloom, and Bendix Fust are the only plot-mandated victims of this.

* King Sebolto was a sadistic SmugSnake and death stick manufacturer who gets himself killed by falling into his own death stick machinery and being boiled alive.

* AffablyEvil: Count Dooku is fairly courteous and charitable in this game, especially in his interactions with Jango after he kills Komari Vosa for him.

* BigBad: Komari Vosa is the leader of Bando Gora and the one Jango and Montross are hunting.
* BigBadEnsemble:
Konami Vosa is the leader of the Bando Gora and Jango's endgame target, but he also has to deal with rival bounty hunter Montross, who's a RecurringBoss throughout the game.

* BigBadEnsemble: Konami Vosa is the leader of the Bando Gora, but Montross serves as a more personal and consistent threat throughout the game.
* BigBadWannabe: Komari Vosa is the BigBad of the game, but this in the saga as a whole. She leads the Bando Gora, a powerful cult with connections to powerful players in the galaxy's underworld, and the death sticks Bando Gora is selling in the game would addict new people creating a flood of new recruits. She's dangerous enough that Darth Sidious considered her a threat to his plans and ordered Dooku to kill her. Nonetheless, the ending makes it clear that Vosa's longterm plans, whatever they were, had no chance of succeeding as Dooku knew where she was hiding and could have gone and killed her at any point he wished. She only survived as long as she did in game because Dooku was using her as a target to recruit a template for the clone army.

* JetPack: 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.

* BigBad: Komari Vosa is the leader of Bando Gora and the one Jango and Montross are hunting.
* BigBadEnsemble: Konami Vosa is the leader of the Bando Gora, but Montross serves as a more personal and consistent threat throughout the game.
* BigBadWannabe: Komari Vosa is the former for purposes of the game, but the latter in the saga as a whole. She leads the Bando Gora, a powerful cult with connections to powerful players in the galaxy's underworld, and the death sticks Bando Gora is selling in the game would addict new people creating a flood of new recruits. She's dangerous enough that Darth Sidious considered her a threat to his plans and ordered Dooku to kill her. Nonetheless, the ending makes it clear that Vosa's longterm plans, whatever they were, had no chance of succeeding as Dooku knew where she was hiding and could have gone and killed her at any point he wished. She only survived as long as she did in game because Dooku was using her as a target to recruit a template for the clone army.
