We start a new series focusing on everyone’s favorite Star Wars pirate, Hondo Ohnaka, by looking at his first appearances in The Clone Wars.
The Clone Wars introduced dozens of the memorable and fan favorite characters to Star Wars. In this episode, we begin a new series concerning one of those characters: Hondo Ohnaka, the Weequay pirate for Florrum. It all starts with a chance encounter with Count Dooku that Hondo uses as an opportunity for profit. From there, Hondo meets Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and the opportunity for a bigger ransom becomes irresistible. So, download this episode of Podcast Stardust and enjoy our discussion of Hondo. After all, it is just good business.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on Hondo Ohnaka,
- Hondo’s first appearances in Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
- How Hondo compares to another famous fictitious pirate,
- How Hondo doesn’t hold grudges and considers everything he does as just “good business,” and
- How Hondo evolves from this early appearance.
