– Dave Filoni, supervising director of The Clone Wars, on Cad Bane's debutĬad Bane was created to serve as a recurring antagonist in The Clone Wars. Cad Bane works for the highest bidder and, I think, he enjoys what he does." We knew that was going to be a very intense fighter, a very intense gunslinger, and a very serious threat. He has to be instantly effective, kind of on the level that I always wanted to see Boba Fett work on in the old, classic trilogy. In addition to the television series, Cad Bane has also been featured in various Star Wars comic books and video games. The character has become a fan favorite since his first appearance and is considered one of the most popular bounty hunters in the franchise alongside the likes of Boba Fett and Jango Fett. Through the reign of the Galactic Empire to the era of the New Republic, Bane retains his notoriety and continues to provide his services to the highest bidder, causing him to clash with Clone Force 99, Fennec Shand, Cobb Vanth, and even his former apprentice, Boba Fett.

Often employed by other villains, Bane comes into conflict with the Jedi of the Galactic Republic numerous times during the Clone Wars. His fast draw, cunning wits and unscrupulous willingness to take any job for the right price have earned him a reputation as one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy. Burton would reprise his role as the voice of Cad Bane in the 2021 animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch and live-action series The Book of Boba Fett (in which stuntman Dorian Kingi physically portrayed the character) on Disney+.Ĭad Bane is depicted as a ruthless bounty hunter and mercenary from the planet Duro who is known for wearing his trademark wide-brimmed hat. Created by George Lucas, Dave Filoni and Henry Gilroy, the character was introduced to serve as a recurring antagonist in the 2008 computer animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (voiced by Corey Burton). Cad Bane is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise.
