Bulduga was an Ithorian male from the planet Ithor who lived during the galaxy - wide Clone Wars . Together with his brother Onca , Bulduga became a bounty hunter , and they formed a team which gained legendary status . While his brother favored finesse over firepower , Bulduga fancied himself as a fast - drawing gunslinger . Around 21 BBY , Bulduga and Onca caught the attention of the Sith Lord and Confederate leader Count Dooku , who invited the Ithorians to the planet Serenno . There , the Count planned to test the abilities and skills of several well - known bounty hunters to find a team worthy for a mission the Count had prepared — the kidnapping of the Republic Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . On Serenno , the bounty hunters were to face the Box , a huge structure filled with a number of deathtraps . The five bounty hunters who survived in the Box were to be taken for the mission . After arriving on Serenno , Bulduga and Onca , as well as the bounty hunters Embo , Sinrich , Kiera Swan , Twazzi , Sixtat , Derrown , Jakoli , and Mantu , awaited the arrival of Moralo Eval , the constructor of the Box . When Eval arrived , he brought another two bounty hunters with him — the famed Duros Cad Bane and Rako Hardeen , a marksman from the planet Concord Dawn . However , when the trio and Dooku met with the rest of the bounty hunters , Bane spotted Bulduga ' s wide - brimmed hat and inquired where the Ithorian had got it . Bulduga responded by drawing his blaster pistol , but Bane was quicker ; he shot Bulduga and took his hat . Onca did nothing to avenge his brother ' s death and ultimately died during the competition in the Box . Personality and traits . Bulduga was an Ithorian , a species known to be peaceful .
