Cad Bane is a villainous character in the Star Wars franchise. The character of Cad Bane first appeared in the 2008 animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. His depiction as a ruthless bounty hunter from the planet Duro made him the perfect addition to the newest series in the Disney Plus Star Wars line up, The Book Of Boba Fett.
