Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a Star Wars video game developed and published by LucasArts for the Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2. In the game, players play as the Bounty hunter Jango Fett featured in the 2002 Star Wars film Attack of the Clones. The game was released on December 5, 2002.

The main objective of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is to hunt the Dark Jedi named Komari Vosa. Players also fight many "bosses", such as Montross and the Bando Gora. There are also side objectives, such as collecting other bounties, that open special bonus items in the game. When you beat a chapter, blooper reels are unlocked.

Plot

The game starts off in a simple dead-or-alive mission, with Jango tracking a low-life criminal on the Outland Space Station ten years before Episode II. After his capture, Jango receives a transmission from Darth Tyranus inviting him to "a special hunt...for a special prey." The reward promised is 5 million credits - an offer no Bounty Hunter could refuse. The target, however, is the Ex-Jedi Komari Vosa, leader of the shadowy Bando Gora cult. Jango decides to take up the hunt, as does (unbeknownst to Jango) Montross, a fellow Mandalorian-Warrior-turned-bounty-hunter and rival of Fett.

Jango heads to Coruscant to hunt down dealers of the "Death Stick" drug, which is rumored to be connected to the Bando Gora. Jango successfully captures Jervis Gloom, a notorious dealer, and coerces him into revealing his sources. Jango infiltrates a meat processing plant (a clever front for the Death Stick distribution). It is revealed all is not well with the Sticks - they're loaded with a powerful neurotoxin. Jango encounters Montross, who taunts him and challenges Jango to a duel - one which Jango easily wins. After Montross escapes, it is revealed that the politician behind the Coruscant Death Sticks may know more about the Bando Gora. Jango scales the Senator's highrise and kills him, but not before the Senator gives up further information on the Death Stick conspiracy.

Determined to find Komari Vosa, Jango goes to the asteroid prison of Oovo IV to break out criminal Bendix Fust to deliver him to Sebolto, a Dug crime lord on Malastare. Fett's ship is destroyed in the process, so he steals a prototype Firespray-class police vessel, which he renames Slave I. Fett ends up destroying part of the prison.

Jango travels to Malastare to deliver Bendix Fust to Sebolto. He finds the death stick factory deep underground and fights Montross and Bando Gora assassins. Fett goes to Tatooine to get a favor from Jabba the Hutt. He learns that Gardulla the Hutt works with the Bando Gora, so he sneaks through a Tusken Raider-filled canyon to her palace. He escapes capture from Gardulla the Hutt's prison, feeds her to her pet krayt dragon, kills the dragon, and escapes.

After finding out that Montross destroyed the Outland Station and killed Jango's Toydarian friend, Rozatta, he travels to the dead moon of Bogden, a colossal cemetery. On the dead moon he faces hordes of Bando Gora slaves. He confronts Montross and leaves him to be eaten by Bando Gora. Jango enters Vosa's castle, but is captured and tortured. He escapes and pursues Vosa deeper into the Castle, much to her amusement. Jango engages Vosa first in a small worship room, and then in a large inner sanctum. Jango eventually wears down and severely wounds Vosa, but while he ponders whether or not to kill her, Count Dooku suddenly appears and force-chokes her to death. A startled Jango demands the reward immediately, but Tyrannus proposes a new plan - come to Kamino to be cloned as the template for a massive clone army. Jango accepts, but demands an addition condition be met. He requests an unaltered clone for himself. Tyrannus is somewhat suspicious, but agrees and seals the deal with Jango.
