- "Kiera Swan, two-time winner of the Obsidian Sphere."
- ―Count Dooku
The Obsidian Sphere was won twice by Kiera Swan (pictured).
The Obsidian Sphere was a bounty hunter competition. The Weequay bounty hunter Kiera Swan achieved two victories in the competition[2] by 20 BBY. That year,[3] Count Dooku hosted a tournament on[1] his homeworld[2] Serenno that he invited numerous bounty hunters to participate in. Swan was present for the tournament, and Dooku noted the Weequay's victories in the Obsidian Sphere upon introducing[1] her.[2]
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.[4] The Obsidian Sphere's name is a nod to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise's pirate ship, the Black Pearl. Similarly, Kiera Swan's name references the character Elizabeth Swann, who is played by Keira Knightley.[5]
