With Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 wrapping the Clone Wars series up, many of us asked
the question, What Happened to Embo after the end of his story and Clone Wars Season
7?
I’m going to break down exactly what happened to Embo after The Clone Wars Season 7 and
how he was able to Capture Lando Calrissian during the time of the Original Trilogy and
Live all the way through to the Battle of Exegol.

Embo was a Kyuzo bounty hunter during the time of the Clone Wars.
He was known as one of the most talented bounty hunters in the Galaxy during the Clone Wars,
even being able to go head to head Anakin Skywalker.
Embo travelled with his Anooba named Marrok, which was an aggressive predator native to
the planet Tatooine.
Embo was a quiet and stoic individual, preferring to only speak in his native language, making
it difficult for his fellow bounty hunters to understand him.
Despite this, he was an absolutely ruthless fighter, disposing of his enemies without
any mercy.
He also held very strong morals, despite his dangerous line of work, often choosing to
protect innocent lives from his fellow bounty hunters.
Embo was extremely skilled in many of the aspects of bounty hunting.
He was extremely acrobatic and could jump exceedingly high distances, and sprint faster
than any human in the galaxy ever could.
On top of this, he was so proficient at hand to hand combat, that he could nearly match
any Jedi at the time, as long as he remained in close quarters.
During the Clone Wars, his skills were considered second to only Cad Bane.
Unlike Cad Bane or Jango Fett however, Embo did not rely on technology.
His primary weapons were a black bowcaster and his incredibly unique wide brimmed hat.
This hat could be used as both a shield against blaster fire, and even as a high speed throwing
weapon.
Finally, he also wore a thick chest plate with an ammunition bandolier over his shoulder,
for protection from both blaster fire and vibroblades.
The final time we saw Embo in the Clone Wars was when he travelled to the planet Scipio
to disrupt the operations of the InterGalactic banking clan and assassinate Rush Clovis.
Despite failing to kill his target, he did manage to kill Padme’s aide, Teckla, and
disable Anakin’s ship, forcing them to escape through harsh, thick snow.
Embo was hired to kill Rush Clovis by Darth Sidious himself, hoping to make Anakin jealous
of Padme and Clovis’ relationship, furthering his fall to the dark.
Although this was his last appearance in the Clone Wars TV Series, he did also appear in
the Dark Disciple Novel.
In the final months of the War, Embo began to take regular jobs with a new crew of Bounty
Hunter, this time led by Boba Fett.
The group were known as Krayt’s claw and included infamous bunter hunters such as Dengar,
Bossk, Aurra Sing and Highsinger.
On one job with Boba Fett’s crew, Embo was hired by former Sith Assassin Asajj Ventress
to rescue her lover and fallen Jedi, Quinlan Vos.
Embo and his Anooba, Marrok, travelled to the homeworld of Sith Lord, Count Dooku, to
attempt to retrieve the captured Quinlan Voss from him.
The mission was ultimately a failure, leaving Quinlan Vos in the possession of Dooku.
The Next time we see Embo is when he encounters Lando Calrissian in the aftermath of the battle
of Endor.
Embo attempted to claim a bounty on Calrissian for the destruction of the Second Death Star,
sneaking aboard the Millenium falcon in order to capture him.
He ultimately failed to collect his bounty, with Lando leaving him incapaciated on a space
station.
You’ve just gotta love Lando.
Following that, we next see Embo in 5 ABY, where he teams up with a Rodian bounty hunter
to capture Jas Emari, niece of Bounty Hunter Sugi and herself a Bounty Hunter for the New
Republic.
Embo took on the bounty because he needed to clear his debts from the previous years.
After learning that their target, Emari, was taken captive on the planet Jakku, they quickly
travelled to the desert planet to collect their bounty.
Leader of Embo’s crew, Mercurial Swift intended to travel with the group, but steal the bounty
once he arrived and claim the full reward for himself.
Unfortunately for him, the target managed to overpower him and escape captivity.
After escaping the bounty hunting crew, Jas Emari rushed to a hangar in hopes of escaping
on the same shuttle that the bounty hunter arrived on, only to be met by Embo, who was
awaiting her arrival.
They began to speak, with Embo mentioning the unfortunate death of Marrok many years
prior.
Emari reminded Embo that he used to work with her Aunty, Sugi, during the Clone Wars, even
convincing him to let her take the escape shuttle.
Later on, Jas Emari and New Republic operative, Norra Wexley, mother of Snap Wexley, travelled
back to the same spot on Jakku where she had originally been captured.
Embo and his bounty hunting crewe once again cornered the two hoping to capture them, but
Norra Wexley managed to escape.
After being captured, Jas Emari revealed that they were on a New Republic sponsored mission
to Capture Imperial Grand Admiral Rae Sloane.
Shortly after her capture however, the Battle of Jakku broke out between remnants of the
Empire and the New Republic.
This prevented Embo and Mercurial Swift front being able to transport their target back
to the Hutt Clan to claim their reward.
During their time stuck on the planet, Jas Emari managed to convince Embo and Dengar
to turn against Mercurial Swift, and offered them positions as bounty hunters for the New
Republic.
They gladly accepted the offer after also being promised full pardons for their crimes,
and to have their debts cleared.
In a shocking turn of events, the crew were forced to team up with Rae Sloane, in order
to prevent the detonation of the core of Jakku, by Gallius Rax.
Rax was attempting to destroy the entire planet of Jakku on the Orders of Palpatine, as part
of a contingency plan for his death.
Embo and the crew were successful in preventing the destruction of Jakku, being rewarded handsomely
by the New Republic for their efforts.
Following that, Embo’s funding from the New Republic began to dry up, forcing him
to return to felucia, where he worked as a farmer.
While on the planet, he met a woman named Bazine Netal, who you might remember from
the Force Awakens.
Netal wanted information about the location of the Millennium Falcon.
Embo told her the story of how he failed to capture Han Solo after the battle of Endor,
but he was unable to provide the current location of the ship.
Despite not being able to provide any new information about the ship's location, Netal
compensated Embo with enough credits to live comfortably for a little while longer.
Now because of his work with the New Republic, and close connection with Leia’s resistance,
it is very possible that he piloted one of the ships that appeared at the battle of Exegol.
I think this would be such an awesome ending and redemption arc to Embo’s story, so let
me know down in the comments if you think Embo was at the battle of Exegol.
On top of this, there is also a big chance that we will see Embo appear in Season 2 of
the Mandalorian.
Right now, they’re literally throwing every character in the book at the Mandalorian Season
2, but if they had to narrow it down to only a few, Embo would definitely be on that list.
He is of course a bounty hunter and would provide great competition for the Mando, as
he had not yet turned to the New Republic at that point.
So that is exactly what happened to Embo after the Clone Wars.
After failing to Capture Han Solo after the Battle of Endor, he moved on to capturing
targets from the New Republic, but was quickly converted.
He began taking contracts for the New Republic, until they no longer funded him, leaving him
to end his career as a humble farmer on Felucia.
I’m sure we’ll get a whole lot more information about Embo between his time on Felucia and
the Battle of Exegol very soon, so be sure to subscribe to the channel to be notified
as soon as I release more awesome Star Wars Content.
Thanks again so much for watching, Cheers guys!
