** Montross is also a vicious sadist of a BountyHunter fond of torture and murder.



* BlackAndGreyMorality: 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.

* BigBad / 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.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rozatta may be a vain, greedy Toydarian, but she genuinely cares for Jango. Jango is likewise a cold blooded bounty hunter who is only out for personal gain, but he seems to genuinely like Rozatta, even honoring her wish for him to have ''some'' kind of life outside of bounty hunting by having his son, Boba, created as an unmodified clone as a condition for Dooku's deal.

* NominalHero: 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]].
** On a slightly more optimistic note, Zam Wesell probably qualifies as a softer version. 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 an UnscrupulousHero, 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.

* VideogameCrueltyPotential: You can set bystanders ablaze with the flamethrower then watch them run around screaming in an alien language. You can even tie them up with the whipcord first, and there's absolutely no penalty for killing civilians. The game ''does'' record how many innocents you've killed, but that's it.
* 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.

* RichReclusesRealm: Gardulla the Hutt — Anakin Skywalker's owner prior to Watto — has become increasingly antisocial and retreated to a secluded hideout on Tatooine. Unlike the ''other'' main crime lord on the planet, she never leaves her isolated mountain palace for any reason, not even on business. Part of this is due to her ongoing feud with Jabba, but it's also because she's engaged in business that even other Hutts would find shady: providing transportation for the Bando Gora.

* 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.
