The Bounty Hunters' Guild is a fictional organization featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It made its first canonical appearance in the 1980 feature film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back as an unidentified assemblage of bounty hunters. The organization was not addressed by name until June, 1998 in the first installment of "The Bounty Hunter Wars" series of novels beginning with Star Wars: The Mandalorian Armor. The Bounty Hunters' Guild served as a key organization in The Mandalorian television series on Disney+.
Description[]
Founding members of the guild.
The Bounty Hunters' Guild was composed of many smaller guilds that operated nearly independently. Those guilds were loosely held together by the overarching Bounty Hunters' Guild, each with its own organization, regulation, specialties and agendas. The core of the Bounty Hunters' Guild is made up of ten major houses along with a number of smaller groups, each specializing in a unique brand of bounty hunting, but reporting to the guildmaster.
With rogue bounty hunters coming into conflict with Jedi Knights more and more often, and leading to an increasing number of deaths, the Jedi Order requested that the Galactic Senate address the matter. The Senate decided that the best way to regulate the hunters was for the bounty hunters to police themselves. The hunters were allowed to form governing bodies, providing that they adhere to by-laws and create personnel records, leading to the creation of many guilds. Soon, these guilds formed together, creating one overarching group - the Bounty Hunter's Guild. The four founders had a vision of uniting bounty hunters, training apprentices, and encouraging collaboration with the Jedi Order and with each other.
One of the Guild's complexes was located on Trandosha.
