Hit Lawlaff, Game Hunter

My name is Lawlaff, Hit Lawlaff, and I'm an intergalactic game hunter. I, too, was a clone in the Grand Army of the Republic, but I deserted after the Battle of Teth. I was a good friend of the more wound-up and uptight clone, Chopper, because we shared each other's knack for shooting our targets with deadly accuracy and crack marksmanship. But when he received a head injury and started to act extra weird, gunning down battle droids with a scary mixture of joy and rage, I was afraid I might end up like him, and, well, I abandoned the army on Teth during the mission to rescue Jabba the Hutt's son.

I didn't like just leaving my comrades, my brothers, but I was convinced that this war was a state of madness for all involved in it. It certainly had that effect on many of the Jedi as well, because a lot of them "fell to the dark side" as the war progressed.

But now, now I've found a whole new life, a new meaning to my existence. I have always loved the thrill of the hunt in battle, but my conscience tells me that it's amoral to be a bounty hunter, so I became a game hunter instead. I enjoy the challenge and excitement of matching wits with animals that are smart, fast, and well adapted to their environment. I also enjoy wielding hunter's rifles, obviously. So I hunt the animals of the galaxy, including the ones on my new home world, Tatooine. I know it's dangerous hunting on Tusken Raider territory but I'm a survivalist, and that makes the thrill even more exciting. I hunt anoobas, rontos, galoomps, and the occasional rancor, as well as some smaller game animals like nunas and profoggs. I also travel to other worlds sometimes, to hunt gutkurrs on Ryloth, tauntauns on Hoth, condor dragons on Endor, and go fishing on Naboo.

And I have my own family to share it all with. I have a Mirialan wife named Glimm, and we have two daughters I adopted, a teenager named Jana and a younger one named Hylo. Altogether, we're a hunting family, and sometimes Glimm and/or the girls come along with me. Of course, I'd be showing disrespect for the animals I kill if I just left them lying like carrion, so I've cooked most of them into good dinner meals for the family, and all of them hang on the walls of our wooden house in the form of heads, horns, or whole bodies.

This will make some very good memories for my family and I to have for the future. And I hope that more clones that try to desert realize that they can hunt for the wild creatures that I know and love instead of sentient beings, and not just for bounties.
