Kiera Swan, two-time winner of the Obsidian Sphere
The Obsidian Sphere was a competition that the Weequay bounty hunter Kiera Swan won twice[1] by 21 BBY. That year,[2] Count Dooku invited multiple bounty hunters to participate in a tournament[1] he[3] hosted on[1] his homeworld[3] Serenno. Swan was present for the event, and the Count referenced[1] her[4] achievements in the Obsidian Sphere when introducing the bounty hunters to each other.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Obsidian Sphere was first mentioned in "The Box,"[1] the seventeenth episode of the fourth season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series, which premiered on February 3, 2012.[5] The names of both the competition and Kiera Swan reference the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which features the Black Pearl pirate ship and the character Elizabeth Swann, who is played by Keira Knightley.[4]
