Star Wars (24 BBY): Reputation - A Cad Bane Origins Tale (FULL Unabridged Original Audiobook)

"Reputation" is a short story written by Ari Marmell that appeared in the magazine Star Wars Insider 136 in 2012. The story takes place eight years after the Invasion of Naboo and features the bounty hunter Cad Bane trying to forge a reputation for himself.

Given the Western "Gunslinger" influences in Cad Bane's character, this audiobook is a homage to 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (1968), directed by: Sergio Leone; which is known to have the greatest opening scene of all country Western movies.


Story Summary:
In the story, Cad Bane has been hired by the Bothan crime boss, Aris Ur-etu, whose operations are being disrupted by a mysterious Jedi. As Bane tracks and observes this mysterious Jedi he learns that the "Jedi" is not all that he seems to be.

Following a confrontation with the "Jedi", Cad Bane discovers interesting and lethal miniaturized equipment; which he adds to his arsenal to further his pursuit of building his reputation as a Bounty Hunter.

Background:
Cad Bane lived during the last decades of the Galactic Republic and was native to the planet Duro. He became a bounty hunter and eventually earnt the reputation of the galaxy's most highly regarded mercenary, who operated primarily for the financial reward of his missions, particularly after the death of Jango Fett. His closest rival in his trade eventually came to be Jango Fett's son Boba Fett, who also began to build his reputation as a mercenary against the Jedi.

Bane worked for the highest bidder, caring little for who employed him or the faction that his client represented, as long as he received his pay. His allegiance to his employer was of no matter to him that if he was offered a better fee elsewhere; he had no issues with turning on his original client. His reputation only grew as the war between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems escalated.

He frequently teamed up with several other bounty hunters and mercenaries in his jobs; among their number was the shapeshifting Clawdite Cato Parasitti, a lethal assassin who shared his allegiance to money. Parasitti subcontracted assignments for him and recruited extra help as he required.
