About Hondo Ohnaka

A Weequay pirate captain with an entrepreneurial spirit and flexible morals, Hondo Ohnaka operates from the lawless world of Florrum during the galaxy’s most turbulent periods. Leading his own gang of cutthroats and smugglers, he built a reputation as someone equally likely to honour a deal or betray his partners, depending entirely on which option proves more profitable at any given moment.

During the Clone Wars, Ohnaka frequently crossed paths with both Jedi and Sith, treating them with the same opportunistic pragmatism he applied to all potential business ventures. He once captured Count Dooku and attempted to ransom the Sith Lord, later doing the same to Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi when they arrived to collect their enemy. His dealings with Ahsoka Tano and various Republic forces demonstrated his ability to work alongside the galaxy’s heroes when their goals aligned with his financial interests.

Years later, during the Imperial era, the pirate reinvented himself as the head of Ohnaka Transport Solutions, lending his particular brand of roguish assistance to the Ghost crew’s rebellion against the Empire. Despite his advancing years, he retained both his shrewd business acumen and his talent for self-preservation, proving that survival in the galaxy’s underworld requires adaptability above all else.

Jim Cummings brings the character to life with a distinctive gravelly voice that perfectly captures his mix of charm, cunning, and barely contained chaos across both animated series.
