Who were the bounty hunters in Empire Strikes Back?

BountyHunters
 

Let me save you some time, since that was Silas' big question this a.m. Left to right, they were Dengar (aka "Payback"... um, ak by whom? I'm guessing nerds), IG-88 (I knew that one already, had the action figure), Boba Fett (duh, even Silas knew that), Bossk, and 4-LOM ("an ambitious protocol droid who overwrote his own programming to embark on a life of crime," my kind of droid really).

Previous, recent morning entertainment from my son has included him repeatedly and cheerfully asking everyone at the Third and Prefontaine bus stop "WHO LIKES WEAPONS?" and walking around the house naked for 20 minutes playing harmonica. The kid is living the dream.

Jack knew all of the bounty hunters too. Is there some sort of little-kid bounty hunter link? I've seen Star Wars like 30 times and couldn't name three.

Sigh. Reading fail. Silas was asking about the bounty hunters and they're in Empire Strikes Back, not Star Wars.

My personal experience with the people at the 3rd and Prefontaine bus stop is that everyone there likes weapons. He has chosen a good audience.

I have seen this movie earlier and liked it. I have also seen Star wars so many times but bounty hunters are not in that...

Recent Arrivals at my house


  • Rain and Spotified chamber music

  • Almost perfectly square, thin, homogeneously chewy slices of enriched white bread, extruded from a place called "Butter Farm." This was a purchase from Uwajimaya that I couldn't resist—I think mostly because this bread makes me feel like I'm saying, "Computer... two slices of bread, toasted."

  • Deer Hunting with Jesus. It's a little dated (2007) and written a little too much to "entertain," but I learned a lot, especially in the section on guns. Thanks for the recommendation, CBell. Definitely worthwhile.
