How do you mean? Even in the EU it had them as firing projectiles sheathed in energy. But there were variants made to shoot energy only. |

The part where ONLY Wookiees possessed the strength required to cock them, indicating that they had to be set for each firing, like a real crossbow. This is countered repeatedly by being shown as firing semi-auto as also by being fired by non-Wookiees. |

As far as I can tell, Han was the only human to use a Bowcaster..and since it was Chewies, I'm assuming it was tweaked from its original design to be lighter. Embo on the other hand is a Kyuzo. From Wookiepedia "the Kyuzo originated on the gravity-heavy[3] Outer Rim world[2] of Phatrong.[4] Life under these circumstances resulted in the evolution of dense muscle fibers[3] far better developed than the average bipedal species'[6] and fast reflexes, which made them dangerous opponents on planets with standard gravity,[3] though their thin arms and legs concealed their considerable strength" |

Did some more research, some bowcasters were modified to fire pure energy, which Chewie's definitely looked to do, which may explain Han's being able to fire. For the rest of it, here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bowcaster/Legends |

Embo is one of the coolest bounty hunters in SW. Definitely top 3.

He's my #1. Mainly because he wasn't a lot of talk with a bad attitude. He let his actions speak for him. Plus, he knew how to be discerning when choosing his gear. |

My top three are Boba Fett, Cad Bane, and Embo (not necessarily in that order). Not having played any of the Old Republic games, I have no way of knowing if there is someone in that time period that can steal one of the top 3 slots. |

This Lovely Lady might could.... http://swtor.wikia.com/wiki/Shae_VizlaEmbo is on my top 5 Characters that came out of the Clone Wars. I love the fact he is based on Kyūzō from the Seven Samurai. Anyone else thing Cad Bane looked a bit like Bill Nighy... |

1) Wrong time period. She's TOR, Taegin is talking TCW. 2) I suddenly have an urge to post a bounty on my own head.  Anyone else think Cad Bane looked a bit like Bill Nighy...
OMG! Refresh my mem: Bane survived the CW era, correct? Of all the useless throwbacks Disney throws into the new movies, I would not object to Nighy playing Bane at all, provided that he has a significant role. The only down side to Nighy would be his hands. |

As far as I know..nothing has been said about his death except in a deleted scene. |

If you read my post, you will see that I was not limiting my top 3 to just TCW. I just don't know of anyone outside of that time period. OMG! Refresh my mem: Bane survived the CW era, correct?

I'd love to see Cad in something live action. As far as I know..nothing has been said about his death except in a deleted scene.
I think you are right. His deleted scene death would have been awesome though. |

But that takes effort.  The Huntress (who eventually became Darth Cognus) was a formidable Iktochi bounty hunter. She had tracking abilities similar to Quinlan Vos, only more powerful. If memory serves, once she had the "scent" of a being's presence in the Force, she could pretty much locate anyone in the galaxy. |
