yeah, rl most bounty hunters don't kill unless it is in self defense because they are not liscensed to kill. Even cops, in the US, have to wait for clear and present danger before they kill a suspect. Otherwise, they go to jail, for murder, like the rest of us. What constitutes "clear and present danger" is often open for debate, but never the less, neither bounty hunters nor the police can shoot first and ask questions later.

 

This even applies to Starwars, unless they are hired for assassination, like Zam in the Phantom Menace. Even Vader had to remind Boba Fett: "I want them alive...no desintigrations!"

Agreed.

I would think that as a successful bounty hunter that doesn't kill, that would certainly add to her credentials. Much easier just killing a target trying to kill you, than to subdue it.

She's a Bounty Hunter, a Pro mind you, and she doesn't do contract killing?? That seems a little odd. and how does she make a living being a bounty hunter when shes only killed one person.. AND it was self defense. BOOO

 

I think this means she's a unique character and not a stereotype.

I think there may be some confusion between a bounty hunter and an assasin here.

 

A Bounty Hunter is not required to kill or take on contract killings. They are used to retrieve people. Sometimes the option is given to them as to whether they kill them or not ie Dead or Alive.

 

An Assasin on the other hand will kill people that their client has hired them to kill.

 

Think about it. In Star Wars the most famous bounty hunter is Bobba Fett. Now he didn't kill Han Solo, now did he?

Yup - I think Calo Nord's responsible for this one.

 

I find it hysterical how people were complaining about another "hypocritical" goody two-shoes.

Well its been nice hearing everyones input.... It does make sense now..

Well bounty hunters is a rather loose term; there are many bounty hunters that prefer to kill simply because it is the faster option.

 

However capturing takes more skills, and is a lot slower. But it is also more clean.

God this thread is boring! We need some new info.
