Potential SPOILERS here folks as a classic Bounty Hunter rumored for an Obi-Wan Kenobi appearance according to SWNN. The outlet is very solid and rarely drops leaks. Therefore when they do, I usually find they are spot on. They say that one of the classic Bounty Hunters, from the scene shown in the header image above, will make an appearance in Obi-Wan Kenobi. To find out which one, scroll after the SPOILER jump.
Minor Potential SPOILERS for Obi-Wan Kenobi Below!
“We’ve heard from a credible source that the bounty hunter 4-LOM will make an appearance in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. We don’t know many specifics about his involvement, but we were assured he will have a bigger role than the mere seconds he spent on screen in The Empire Strikes Back.”
Thing is, if we get 4-LOM, does that mean we get Zuckus also? Maybe my brain is addled by the memories of the old EU, but I recall that 4-LOM and Zuckus were a team back in the day. I guess with all the old EU thrown out the only canon appearances of 4-LOM are in Empire itself and the various comics he has appeared in (all set after the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi). Having not read all those comics I could not say whether Zuckus was ever involved in this new canon?

I cannot really comment on 4-LOM’s origins as I’m not sure if these will be changed for the new canon? Originally 4-LOM was a protocol droid who overwrote his programming to allow him to kill. The former servant found he could be a pretty good Bounty Hunter as a result. Zuckus formed a team with 4-LOM because they complimented one another.
