Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a Star Wars video game developed and published by LucasArts for the Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2. In the game, players play as the bounty hunter Jango Fett featured in the 2002 Star Wars film Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The game was released on December 5, 2002. In the game Temuera Morrison reprised his role as the voice of Jango Fett and his likeness is used in some cutscenes.

The main objective of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is to hunt the Dark Jedi named Komari Vosa. Players also fight many "bosses", such as Montross and the Bando Gora. There are also side objectives, such as collecting other bounties, that open special bonus items in the game. When you beat a chapter, blooper reels are unlocked.

The game starts off with Jango hunting a lowlife criminal, Meeko Ghintee, for his friend Rozatta, the Toydarian owner of Outland Station. After the capture, Jango receives a transmission from Darth Tyranus inviting him to participate in "a special hunt... for a special prey." The reward is five million credits for the capture of the deranged leader of the Bando Gora, Komari Vosa. Jango agrees to the hunt.

There are rumors that the Bando Gora are behind some strange death stick shipments, and Jango decides to pursue a low-life death stick dealer, Jervis Gloom, wanted by the Coruscant police. Jango captures Gloom in the Entertainment District, and coerces him to reveal his sources. This leads Jango to a nerf processing plant in the Industrial Sector, run by a gangster named Groff Haugg. When Jango arrives, however, he encounters Montross, who has already toutured and killed Haugg, and learns that the both of them are pursuing the same prey. Jango fights Montross, who flees, before finding a message on Haugg's computer terminal from the gangster's co-conspirator, the corrupt Senator Trell. Jango then fights his way through Trell's heavily-guarded apartment tower to the Senator's penthouse, and learns from Trell that the death sticks came from a Malastare crime lord named Sebolto, before he throws the crooked politician off a balcony to his demise.

After Roz's advice, Jango proceeds to the asteroid prison Oovo IV to break out Bendix Fust, with the idea of delivering him to Sebolto to gain an audience. Deep in the prison, Jango is surprised when another bounty hunter, Zam Wesell, reaches Fust before him; only by coincidence. The two meet at gunpoint, but decide to work together to escape the lockdowned prison. Jango's ship, Jaster's Legacy, is destroyed; he then proceeds to commandeer a Firespray class police ship, naming it Slave I.

Jango and Zam travel to Malastare to deliver Fust to Sebolto. Zam delivers Fust while Jango goes in the "back way". This means trekking through the dense jungle. Zam manages to get away from Sebolto, and heads down the compound to where she has to call a Skiff hover vehicle for Jango to cross the Chasm separating the Compound from the Jungle. They then go back up the compound to Sebolto's Palace, and the dug king escapes down a a pipe. In the next level, Sebolto is seen sliding down the pipe and down into a Death Stick Factory, at which Jango murmurs, "It'll be a sour batch..."

He ventures through the factory, eventually coming to an area full of Bando Gora. Once he gets past them, he reaches a supply ship. On further inspection, he finds Huttese markings on it. Then Montross comes with a Skiff hovership, and the two of them fight. Zam brings the ship and the two of them escape.

Not knowing which Hutt is involved with the Bando Gora, the pair split up to question the two Hutts, Jabba and Gardulla. Finding Jabba clean, Jango proceeds to Gardulla's palace, and finds Zam captured in a holding cell. Jango leaves her there to avoid sounding an alarm, and proceeds to search for Gardulla. After being briefly apprehended, Jango reaches Gardulla and learns the location of Vosa's system. He proceeds there alone.

After fighting his way across the planet's surface, Jango arrives at Vosa's castle, where he finds Montross is already waiting for him, and they duel a final time. Jango finally defeats Montross who wanted a warrior's death, but Jango lets the Bando Gora tear him apart as he walks away. Jango is finally able to procede to Komari Vosa's lair. He manage's to penetrate the outer rooms, but is soon overwhelmed and taken prisoner by Bando Gora slaves. He is tortured, both physically and mentally, by Komari Vosa. Zam Wesell appears, and manages to free Jango from the restraints before being injured. Jango grabs his blasters, and drives Vosa out of the room. After tending to Zam, Jango follows Vosa through the castle and fatally wounds her. As she dies on the ground, Darth Tyranus steps from the shadows and greets Jango. Tyranus explains that the entire ordeal was a test, of which Jango had proven to be the best. He offers Jango a considerably larger sum to go to Kamino, to be the template for a clone army. Fett agrees, on the condition that he gets the first unaltered clone for himself.

When the Mandalorian Commandos were first formed by Jaster Mereel, a rebel faction of the Mandalorians broke away from Jaster and formed the Death Watch. The two were in basic terms mortal enemies. In Open Seasons Pt: 2 (available as an unlockable feature), Jaster and his team along with Jango and Montross are ambushed by the Death Watch during a mission. Montross foolishly tries to push ahead against Jaster's orders and is almost killed until Jaster saves him. But when Jaster exposes himself to save Montross, Montross uses his jet pack to flee the scene and leaves Jaster to die. As Jango watches the proceedings, he is unable to save Jaster. Becoming the new leader of the Mandalorians, Jango exiles Montross from the group for his betrayal. Montross leaves and becomes the rebellious bounty hunter in the game. The dead Jaster leaves Jango his ship which Jango uses in the game until its destruction on Oovo IV.

Also mentioned is the Battle of Galidraan, where Madalorians battle against many Jedi on the planet of Galidraan. The battle was actually led by Darth Tyrannus who was then a Jedi. Accompanying him during the battle was none other than his apprentice, Komari Vosa -- before she became a Dark Jedi, and before Tyrannus became a Sith. During Jango's torture, Vosa mentions the battle where she killed twenty Mandalorians. Jango, of course, also took part during the battle, killing many Jedi. However, by the end of the battle all of his Mandalorian comrades were dead, leaving Jango the last Mandalorian alive (this is a title Jango takes but is not accurate: other Mandalorians still alive include, Montross, Silas, the Mandalorian Protectors back on Mandalore, Mandalore police (planetary defense), and the Death Watchmen, all of who did not take part in the battle. In fact the only Mandalorians to die at the Battle of Galidraan were the 20-30 members of Jango's clan).

Watto the Toydarian, who owned a workshop and bet on Sebulba the Dug in a podrace in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, is briefly mentioned by Rozatta in the opening cutscene of the Tatooine chapter. "I got this information from a reliable source," she explains, "owns his own workshop... poor sap, lost everything on a podrace last season..." Rozatta then continues to help Jango on his next bounty. He also posted a bounty because they killed someone who owed him money. Later, a hidden room on the Malastare level contains pictures of Sebulba, complete with a racing helmet and goggles.

There are also numerous appearances of characters from the Star Wars films as secondary bounties in the game. For example, as Jango travels through a Tusken Raider infested canyon on Tatooine, a particular sand person is listed as wanted dead for shooting down the podracer Teemto Pagalies during the podrace in the first film; this event is seen in the film.
