Embo / Legends Embo was a male Kyuzo bounty hunter who operated during the Clone Wars . He belonged to Sugi ’ s band of bounty hunters , but was known to work on his own . He wore a large - rimmed circular hat , which could be thrown as a weapon , used as a shield against small arms fire , and even ridden as a sled over snowy terrain . He also made use of a modified bowcaster . He was very athletic , as he could jump very high in the air and cover large distances quickly . He was recognized , along with Cad Bane , as one of the best bounty hunters during the Clone Wars . Biography . Battle on Felucia . A male Kyuzo from his species ' s homeworld of Phatrong , circa 22 BBY , Embo was hired as part of Sugi ' s band of bounty hunters by farmers on Felucia . The leader of the farming village , Casiss , had taken on the mercenaries to protect his people and their nysillin harvest from the predations of Hondo Ohnaka and his pirates . Shortly after the bounty hunters had been hired , Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano crash landed on the planet and sought assistance in the village . The three Jedi found the village seemingly deserted , but upon entering one of the dwellings , Embo and the other bounty hunters surrounded them . It turned into a tense standoff , with the Jedi igniting their lightsabers , until Cassis intervened , pleading with the two groups to work together . Kenobi was reluctant to help the villagers , as he feared their presence would simply make the farmers a target for Separatist forces . But after the Jedi learned that it was Ohnaka who threatened the farms and after Ohnaka turned down Kenobi ' s offer to buy him off - the Jedi decided to help the farmers after all . Kenobi advised the bounty hunters on protecting the village , while Skywalker began to train the farmers to defend themselves . As Skywalker showed the farmers how a simple farming tool could become a weapon , Embo watched from nearby , chuckling at the farmers ' mistakes . Suddenly , Sugi spotted a pirate scout watching the preparations from a nearby ridge and sent Embo to take him out . Despite the distance , Embo caught up to the pirate before he could even get to his speeder , and destroyed the vehicle with a single , strategically placed blast from his bowcaster . The pirate then attempted to shoot Embo , but the bounty hunter used his armored hat as a shield while he charged straight at the pirate , the laser blasts leaving nothing but scorch marks on the hat . He then leaped into the air , twisting so that only his hat was visible to his enemy , then landed , disarmed the pirate , and threw him to the ground . The Weequay pirate again charged at Embo , this time throwing a punch , but the bounty hunter easily blocked it and snapped the pirate ' s neck with both hands . Kenobi and the others caught up to Embo , and Skywalker commended him on his handling of the pirate . While Embo had bought them some time , once the scout failed to check in , the defenders knew Ohnaka wouldn ' t wait any longer to attack . Their observation proved true , as not long after , dozens of pirates on speederbikes swooped into the town , strafing the defenders with blaster fire . Embo kicked one pirate off his bike , then jumped onto another . He broke the pirate ' s neck , then tossed him aside and commandeered it himself , using it to dispatch others . When Ohnaka arrived in his repulsortank , Embo wasn ' t quick enough to avoid one of the tank ' s blasts . He was knocked to the ground , his right arm badly wounded . Skywalker saw that the bounty hunter was hurt , and cried out his name . Sugi and the others helped him into the main barn of the village while the battle continued . Later , Ohnaka escaped the planet and the day was won , with Ohnaka declaring his reaping of the village ' s profits " no longer profitable " . Embo and the others left along with the Jedi in Sugi ' s ship , to take them to a Republic outpost . At some point during the events of the Clone Wars , a five thousand credit bounty was placed on his head for " crimes against the Republic " on Coruscant . Freelancing during the Clone Wars . In 21 BBY , Embo and Sugi were both present at Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s palace on Tatooine when Pantoran diplomats Notluwiski Papanoida and his son Ion were searching for Greedo after the Rodian kidnapped Papanoida ' s daughters . Later , Embo was present with eleven other bounty hunters , including Obi - Wan Kenobi — disguised as Rako Hardeen — and Cad Bane , to fight in Count Dooku ' s " Box " . During the most recent hunting season , his bounty tallies were known to have been second only to Bane ' s . While in the Box , Embo choked fellow contestant Sinrich and when Sixtat , another contestant , began to rise on a pillar above the other contestants , Embo kicked him off to escape from a poisonous gas , dioxis , which was seeping from a hole in the ground . Embo survived the challenge , being placed under leadership of Bane to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . As part of the plan , Bane stationed Embo and fellow hunter Twazzi as Senate Commandos to " protect " the Chancellor by using Sinrich ' s holographic disguise matrix . After Palpatine was knocked out in the chaos , his form was hidden by one of the matrix devices and he was taken from the scene . In turn , Twazzi was disguised as Palpatine , who was then rushed away by Embo . Though their distraction worked , they failed to escape , and as they arrived in the getaway speeder , both were arrested by Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu . Embo wasn ' t in Republic custody for long and was later seen a year later on Tatooine exiting the hut Boba Fett and Highsinger were in and walking away with his pet Anooba , Marrok . He and Marrok were later seen sharing a table at Chalmun ' s Spaceport Cantina with Asajj Ventress . Bodyguard for the Hutts . Some time later , Embo accepted a job guarding the Hutt Grand Council , alongside Sugi , Dengar and Latts Razzi . When Darth Maul threatened the Council , Embo sprang into action to defend his employers . Maul and his brother Savage Opress battled Embo and the other bounty hunters ; Embo fought against the ferocious Nightbrother alone , surviving his powerful attacks only due to the defensive strength of his helmet . When their defeat became clear , Embo then left along with his allies . Though Opress wanted to continue the fight , Maul believed that as mercenaries , Embo and the others had no true loyalty and would not continue to stand in their way . Chasing Clovis . Embo was employed to target Rush Clovis , where he traveled to the banker ’ s home planet , Scipio . Embo also tracked Padmé Amidala with a seeker and killed Teckla Minnau via shooting . Then the Kyuzo kept a close eye at where Clovis was living in case he arrived . He attacked as the trio of Skywalker , Clovis and Padmé convened . The group fled and Marrok chased after them . Embo damaged the vehicle so that they could not escape via air , forcing them to travel through the snow . While Embo chased them while riding his hat , Skywalker held him at bay until R2 - D2 could pick them up with the ship . Having been unable to stop them , Marrok retrieved Embo ' s hat . Embo contacted Darth Sidious to mention that Clovis had escaped , as planned . Sidious mentioned that he would take over from there . Personality and traits . Embo was mostly silent and spoke only in his native language , making it difficult for others to understand him . He was a merciless fighter , using his unorthodox weapons , his shield - hat and bowcaster , to take down foe after foe . This caused his bounty tally during one hunting season to be second only to Cad Bane , a fact recognized by Count Dooku . Skills and abilities . Embo was a deadly fighter , and was able to fight even skilled combatants such as Jedi and Sith . He could jump extremely high and could run very fast . He would often throw his shield - hat during combat as demonstrated on Felucia and Naboo . He was proficient in unarmed combat . Embo was able to face and survive a physical fight with Savage Opress , an undefeated Sith warrior . While he proved to last longer than most , he was eventually beaten back by the fierce Nightbrother . Embo was physically strong , able to quickly overpower and break the neck of a Weequay pirate in seconds . Equipment . Embo , unlike high - tech bounty hunters such as Cad Bane , used relatively little technology . His primary weapons were a primitive bowcaster and a Kyuzo war helmet . His shield hat could be used as both a shield and a throwing weapon by the bounty hunter as shown when in tense situations . He was usually seen wearing a chest plate with an ammunition bandoleer and wore a fighting skirt longer and wider than the kamas worn by clone troopers . Behind the scenes . Embo was voiced by the " " director , Dave Filoni . In order to come up with a unique voice for the character , Filoni created a new language for Embo to speak , which is actually a badly enunciated version of The Smurfs Books in French , spoken by Dave Filoni himself . The character was originally planned to be killed off in " " Bounty Hunters " " . However , due to the strong positive reception given by the show ' s crew , it was decided that Embo would survive , and the ending was redone . As with many aspects of the episode " Bounty Hunters " , Embo ' s species , Kyuzo , is an homage to the film " " . In the film , one of the main characters is named Kyuzo . Embo was also made into a LEGO minifigure , and appeared in only one set . It was the 7930 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship . Hasbro also released an action figure of Embo .
