Bar - Kooda Bar - Kooda was a male Herglic who terrorized the likes of Orko the Foultrader as a pirate . The younger brother of Ry - Kooda , the Herglic was captain of the starship " Bloodstar " and a ragtag crew of a thousand crewmen . Bar - Kooda developed a reputation both as someone notoriously difficult to kill , and a captor who elected to devour those within his custody — as a result a bounty of 100 , 000 was placed on the Herglic ' s head . In 10 ABY , Bar - Kooda was reunited with a captive who he had previously failed to consume : the magic ian Wim Magwit . Eager to kill Magwit , who had escaped sometime prior , Bar - Kooda demanded a final magic show from his captive . During the demonstration , Bar - Kooda was deceived by Magwit and delivered into the custody of bounty hunter Boba Fett . The Herglic was summarily killed and shared the same fate as his victims , becoming a meal for Orko the Foultrader , his daughter Anachro and future son - in - law , Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo . Biography . Early Life . The male Herglic Captain Bar - Kooda was a pirate who boasted a thousand compatriots at his command , and a reputation for eating his victims . He had one older brother , Ry - Kooda , a feral being who resided on Rutal IV . Bar - Kooda ' s ship , the " Bloodstar " , was well - equipped enough to hold its own against an Imperial battlecruiser . The Herglic and his men once attacked a starliner , and seized a group of entertainer s for their own amusement . Bar - Kooda had his captives perform one - by - one , killing them as they failed to please him . One chanteuse performed a particularly affecting and sad song — the pirate ' s response was to shoot the singer , and have her prepared to be eaten for supper . The next performer was the magic ian Wim Magwit , who sufficiently entertained the Herglic and his men with a display involving a mystifying hoop that could seemingly make objects disappear and reappear at will . Fascinated , the pirate demanded to know the secret , but Magwit refused to reveal his secrets , prompting Bar - Kooda to enter a fit of rage . In spite of the intimidation , Magwit continued to withhold his secret , knowing that Bar - Kooda would kill him as soon as he knew . The magician eventually came to believe that the Herglic even liked him in a roundabout way . Bar - Kooda kept Magwit aboard the " Bloodstar " for four years as he and his crew perpetrated all manner of what the magician considered to be unspeakable acts . Magwit ultimately escaped in due course , prompting the pirate captain to take out a bounty on the fugitive ' s head . In 10 ABY , he hired notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett to track down Magwit . Around the same time , Bar - Kooda took to harassing the ships of the H ' uun Orko the Foultrader , and managed to destroy three such craft . Bar - Kooda by that point had a bounty of 100 , 000 on his head alone . One day , one of the Herglic ' s scout ships detected an escape pod drifting in a nearby quadrant , not far from the " Bloodstar " location . As the pod was retrieved , it was discovered that none other than Magwit was aboard . Encounter with Boba Fett . Magwit had apparently felt threatened with his life aboard the last ship on which he had served , and he had decided to abandon those crewmates in search of something better . Bar - Kooda had other ideas however , and was prepared to kill Magwit there and then . The magician was eager to be granted death , and so the Herglic demanded that he perform one last magic show , and reveal the secret of the mystifying hoop . Magwit was allowed to bring some of the equipment he had stashed in his escape pod on board in order to set up the show . Bar - Kooda was impressed by Magwit ' s opening tricks , but demanded that the magician move onto the mystifying hoop exhibition . Magwit unveiled the hoop , throwing cards through it , causing them to disappear as a result . The magician then invited the Herglic to discover the secrets of the mystifying hoop for himself , by passing through it . Bar - Kooda suspected duplicity on Magwit ' s part , but was curious nonetheless , gingerly putting his hand through as a means of testing the device . Satisfied that he was still intact , the Herglic then queried what would transpire should he put his head through the hoop . Magwit advised against it , which irritated the pirate . Suspecting that he would discover something that Magwit did not want him to see , Bar - Kooda plunged his head through the hoop , only to discover that the magician ' s warnings were well - founded — on the other side was the Boba Fett , there to collect the bounty on the pirate ' s head . The hunter seized the Herglic by the arm and hurled him through the mystifying hoop , which was in fact a short - range matter transmitter and had transported Bar - Kooda to another part of the " Bloodstar " where he and his attacker were alone . Fett requested that Bar - Kooda come quietly , but the Herglic was incredulous , claiming that the bounty hunter would not make it off the ship alive . The bounty hunter responded by blasting the pirate in the chest , knocking the Herglic back with force , but the pirate was not finished , responding in kind with a volley of dart s that failed to penetrate Fett ' s Mandalorian armor . The Herglic resorted to other methods , drawing the axe he had slung at his back , but Fett was able to render him unconscious with a flamethrower blast . The bounty hunter then escaped the " Bloodstar " with Bar - Kooda ' s unconscious form and Magwit in tow , aboard Magwit ' s escape pod , killing much of the Herglic ' s crew in the process . Bar - Kooda started to come to aboard the escape pod , but was later killed . Fett had been hired by the Hutt Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo for 200 , 000 credit to remove the threat of Bar - Kooda and the " Bloodstar " as a gift to Orko the Foultrader , whose daughter Anachro the Hutt hoped to marry . Bar - Kooda ' s body was cooked and served as a main course to Gorga , Orko , and Anachro . Ry - Kooda , upon learning of his brother ' s death , bayed for Fett ' s blood , and absorbed much of Bar - Kooda ' s surviving gang thanks to the machinations of the Lizling Boz . At first , Ry - Kooda sought to exact vengeance on Fett , but failed to kill the bounty hunter . Recovering from the ordeal , Ry - Kooda instead murdered Orko , and attempted to kill both Gorga and Ancharo , but was ultimately slain by Fett . Personality and traits . A notably resilient individual , it was understood by the likes of Gorga the Hutt that Bar - Kooda could not be stopped by any regular thug , to such a degree that he resorted to hiring the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett . Labeled a monster by the likes of Wim Magwit , Bar - Kooda would torment his captives , forcing them to perform for him in some manner before summarily executing and / or devouring them . Vicious in temperament , the Herglic saw himself as an evil and cruel figure , but had certain morals and values , such as the belief that a former crewmate should be granted a final request . Although Bar - Kooda was planning to kill Wim Magwit after his final magic show , the pirate would not tolerate any mocking insolence from his crewmen towards the magician , striking one individual in particular as punishment for a disparaging remark . Bar - Kooda was also a sensitive Herglic , allowing himself to be emotionally affected by somber tunes , although he could not tolerate such an experience for a protracted period of time . Bar - Kooda would salivate at the mere mention of food . Bar - Kooda had a mottled chin and crown and wore dark fatigues . Equipment . Bar - Kooda possessed a wrist - mounted blaster , and an axe that he would wear slung parallel with his spine . Bar - Kooda also had his own cruiser , the " Bloodstar " . Behind the scenes . The character of Bar - Kooda first appeared in John Wagner ' s 1996 comic " " . The stylized art by Cam Kennedy uses a limited color palette , making it difficult to determine the character ' s true skin color and other elements of his features . Bar - Kooda was later identified as a member of the Herglic species in 2008 ' s " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
