Embo Embo was a Kyuzo male bounty hunter who lived during the era of the Clone Wars . He carried a bowcaster and wore a large - rimmed circular hat , which he used as a weapon or a shield . Embo was known to work as part of Sugi ' s band of bounty hunters , though on his own he was renowned as one of the most skilled bounty hunters of his time , at one point managing to match the Jedi Anakin Skywalker . He also owned a pet anooba named Marrok and a saucer - shaped starship called the " Guillotine " . Biography . The Clone Wars . Battle on Felucia . A male Kyuzo from Phatrong , Embo was working as a bounty hunter during the Clone Wars . At one point , he was part of Sugi ' s band of bounty hunters , alongside Rumi Paramita and Seripas . The band of bounty hunters were employed by Casiss , the leader of a farm ing village on the planet Felucia , to protect the villagers and their harvest of Nysillin from a gang of pirate s led by Hondo Ohnaka . Shortly after they had been hired , Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano crash - landed on Felucia and discovered the village . A brief standoff between the Jedi and the hunters took place before Casiss intervened , begging the two groups to work together against the pirates . The Jedi were initially reluctant to help the villagers , but were swayed after a brief encounter with Ohnaka , the leader of the gang , whom the Jedi had met once before . Refusing to be bought off by the pirates , the bounty hunters , along with the Jedi , began teaching the villagers to defend themselves . Embo , watching Skywalker train the villagers how to use a simple farming tool as a weapon , chuckled at their lack of experience . While the villagers were preparing to fight , Sugi spotted a lone pirate watching from a nearby ridge . Embo was sent to deal with the scout and the Kyuzo quickly took him out , disabling his Starhawk speeder bike with his bowcaster and blocking the pirate ' s shots using his metallic hat , before snapping the Weequay ' s neck with his bare hands . Skywalker commended Embo for his actions , but the fact that the scout would no longer check back in with Hondo meant the villagers didn ' t have any time to waste . Soon afterwards , the pirates attacked the village . Dozens of pirates on speeder bike s swept into the village , firing at the defenders . Embo dispatched one of the pirates and commandeered a speeder bike , using it to take out several others . When Ohnaka arrived on the scene in his tank , however , Embo wasn ' t quick enough to avoid one of the tank ' s blasts and was hit . With a badly wounded right arm , Embo was helped into the main barn at the center of the village by Sugi and the others , unable to participate in the battle any longer . After Ohnaka and his pirates retreated and fled the system , Embo left in Sugi ' s ship , " Halo " , along with the Jedi , and traveled to a Republic outpost . Freelancing . At one point , Embo and Sugi , along with the Kyuzo ' s pet anooba Marrok , were present at the palace of Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine . While they were there , Pantoran diplomat s Papanoida and his son , Ion , were searching for Greedo , a Rodian bounty hunter that had kidnapped Papanoida ' s daughters . Later on , Embo was present on Serenno with eleven other bounty hunters — one of which was , in reality , Obi - Wan Kenobi , disguised as Rako Hardeen — to fight in the " Box " , which had been designed by Moralo Eval . Embo was one of the few hunters to survive the challenge , and was assigned by Count Dooku to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine . Embo then traveled to Naboo to carry out the daring mission . The hunters successfully kidnapped the Chancellor , assuming the roles of Senate Commando s through the use of the holographic disguise matrix , developed by Sinrich . Embo rushed the Chancellor away but failed to escape and were arrested by Skywalker and Mace Windu . Embo did not remain in Republic custody for long , however . Some time later , he and Marrok were seen sharing a table at Chalmun ' s Cantina , while the pair were also present outside a hut in the town . Employed by the Hutts . Some time later , Embo was employed by the Grand Hutt Council as a bodyguard , along with Sugi , Dengar and Latts Razzi . When Darth Maul and his brother , Savage Opress , representing the Shadow Collective , threatened the Hutts , Embo and the others sprang into action to defend their employers . At first the bounty hunters were able to beat the brothers back , but they were driven back when the forces of Death Watch joined in the attack . Embo went up against Opress on his own , saved from the Nightbrother only by the strength of his hat . When it was clear that they couldn ' t win , Embo and the others retreated , abandoning their employers . Targeting Clovis . Sometime after this , Embo traveled to Scipio , the home planet of Rush Clovis , whom he had been hired to drive off the InterGalactic Banking Clan vault world . When Clovis arrived , along with Padmé Amidala and Skywalker , Embo killed Amidala ' s aide , Teckla Minnau , and disabled the trio ' s ship , forcing them to flee through the snow . Embo , chasing Clovis , was held at bay by Skywalker until the trio was saved by R2 - D2 , who was pilot ing their ship . Having accomplished his mission , Embo informed his employer , Darth Sidious , that Clovis had escaped — just as the Dark Lord had planned . Boba Fett ' s syndicate . In the latter months of the war , Embo began taking jobs on a regular basis with Boba Fett ' s team of bounty hunters . One job in particular found the crew hired by former ally of the Sith , Asajj Ventress , to assist in the rescue of her lover , Quinlan Vos . This was his first time working with the Dathomirian Nightsister and former Sith apprentice . Embo and his anooba Marrok traveled to Serenno on the " Guillotine " and rendezvoused with Fett ' s syndicate and Ventress at the planet ' s spaceport . While the mission proved to be a failure , Embo and the rest of Fett ' s team escaped a direct encounter with the Sith Lord Count Dooku , alive . Inspiring Sabine . Several years before the Battle of Yavin , Embo was depicted in some graffiti art , courtesy of Sabine Wren , aboard the " Ghost " , the ship of Hera Syndulla . New Republic . Jakku . In 5 ABY , Embo , along with the bountry hunters Dengar and a Rodian named Jeeta , was hired by Mercurial Swift in order to capture Jas Emari , Sugi ' s niece . The Black Sun crime boss Gyuti had imposed a bounty on Emari ' s head . Embo joined Swift ' s party because he wanted to clear his debts . After learning that Niima the Hutt had taken Jas captive on Jakku , Embo and the other bounty hunters traveled to Niima ' s temple to pick her up . Swift went into Emari ' s cell to fetch her , intending to collect the bounty for himself and abandon his crew . However , Jas broke free and overpowered her captors . After escaping her captors , Jas headed to the hangar only to find Embo and Dengar guarding Swift ' s Corellian shuttle . They began speaking , and during the conversation Embo mentioned the death of Marrok , which had happened years before . Knowing that Embo had incurred debts , Jas tried to remind Embo that he and her aunt Sugi had worked together . Emari convinced Embo to let her take the ship , saying that he was old and that Marrok always liked her . Dengar tried to stop Jas but she managed to escape on the Corellian shuttle . Later , Jas Emari and the New Republic operative Norra Wexley returned to Niima ' s temple . In return for ferrying Niima back to her temple , the Hutt crime lady had outfitted them with an old Imperial shuttle , old uniforms , and clearance codes to enter the Main Imperial base on Jakku . Embo and the rest of Swift ' s party cornered Jas and Niima . While Norra escaped with her son ' s droid Mister Bones aboard the shuttle , Jas stayed behind in order to allow Norra to proceed with her mission to capture Grand Admiral Rae Sloane . Following Emari ' s capture , Swift attempted to travel to Nar Shaddaa to deliver Jas to Boss Gyuti . However , they were unable to leave due to the Battle of Jakku . During the wait , Jas managed to convince Embo , Dengar , and Jeeta to turn against Swift . She offered to secure them pardons from the New Republic if they switched sides . Swift tried to object but was thrown out of the shuttle by Jas with the help of Dengar . Embo , Jeeta , and Dengar then became Jas ' crew . They took Swift ' s shuttle to the Jakku Observatory where they picked up Norra , who had joined forces with Sloane and her estranged husband Brentin Lore Wexley to stop Gallius Rax from destroying Jakku as part of the late Emperor ' s Contingency plan . After the Battle of Jakku . Following the Battle of Jakku and the Galactic Concordance , Embo and the rest of Emari ' s crew received full pardons from the New Republic with the help of Jas ' friend Sinjir Rath Velus , a former Imperial loyalty officer who had become an adviser to Chancellor Mon Mothma . They also received enough money from the New Republic and continued to work with Emari as her crew . Personality and traits . Embo was a quiet , stoic and disciplined individual , speaking only in his native language , which made it difficult for others to understand him . He was also totally ruthless , dispatching foe after foe without mercy or remorse , and using his unorthodox weapons to lethal effect . Embo also respected the Zabrak bounty hunter Sugi and her niece Jas Emari . Having incurred debts , Embo reluctantly accepted an offer from Mercurial Swift to join his crew and collect Boss Gyuti ' s bounty on Jas . However , Embo was unwilling to hurt Jas since they had worked together in the past . On one occasion , he allowed Jas to escape . On another , he and his fellow bounty hunters Dengar and Jeeta turned against Swift after Jas convinced them to join forces with her in return for securing pardons from the New Republic . Due to their dislike for Swift , Embo did not object to Dengar and Jas throwing Swift out of his shuttle . Skills and abilities . A deadly fighter , Embo was skilled in a variety of areas . Extremely acrobatic , Embo could jump very high and run faster than any human , while his proficiency in unarmed combat made him the equal of any Jedi or Sith when it came to close - quarters fighting . Embo was very skilled with his chosen weapons , using his rimmed hat to take out opponents from a distance , while he was also a good shot with his bowcaster . At one point in the Clone Wars , Embo was considered second only to Cad Bane in the entire galaxy . Equipment . Unlike bounty hunters such as Cad Bane or Jango Fett , Embo relied little on technology . Embo ' s primary weapons were a bowcaster and his unique metallic , wide - rimmed hat , which doubled as a shield and as a throwing weapon . During the Clone Wars , Embo often wore a chest plate , with an ammunition bandolier slung over his shoulder , and wore a long red fighting skirt decorated with gold symbols . Behind the scenes . Embo ' s species , the Kyuzo , was named after the character " Kyuzo " in the film " " . This is one of many homages to the film found in Embo ' s first episode , " Bounty Hunters " . Embo was voiced by Dave Filoni , director of " " . Embo ' s alien language , devised by Filoni himself , is actually a badly enunciated version of the Smurfs Books , written in French . In the Dark Disciple book , he instead uses Italian soccer players surnames . Dave Filoni had originally planned to kill off Embo in the episode he appeared in , being blasted and killed by a pirate who shot at him with one of their tanks . However , according to Filoni , after discussing about the character and the story of the episode with the production team and how they felt that he was a " cool " character , they decided to just get him injured by Hondo as seen in the final version . The unfinished version can be seen from the behind - the - scenes clips about the season included in the DVD and Blu - ray releases of the Clone Wars . Embo was made into a LEGO minifigure in 2011 . It appeared in the set " 7930 Bounty Hunter Gunship " , alongside Sugi , Aurra Sing and an elite assassin droid . The set featured a version of " Halo " , the ship found in the episode , " Bounty Hunters " . When the complete season 4 DVD collection of the Clone Wars series was released , Embo appeared on a special wanted poster along with Cad Bane , Rako Hardeen , Moralo Eval , and Derrown , that came in the package . Before the cancellation of TV series , Embo was set to make an appearance during a four - episode arc starring Boba Fett and Cad Bane . In a clip revealed during the " Animated Origins and Unexpected Fates " panel at Celebration Orlando in 2017 , Embo was seen siding with Cad Bane during a stand - off against Boba Fett and other Bounty Hunters , however he and Bossk would betray Bane by allowing Fett to duel Bane without intervening .
