The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A Hoopaloo lived during the High Republic Era.[1] Between 241 BBY and 231 BBY,[2] he worked alongside[1] the monster hunter[3] Ty Yorrick in a job on[1] the Outer Rim planet[4] Alzoc III. During the job, however, the Hoopaloo betrayed Yorrick and stole part of her arsenal. Afterward, the hunter decided to not track down the Hoopaloo, and instead accepted her losses.[1]

That year,[2] while on the planet Safrifa, Yorrick mentally recalled her botched job on Alzoc III, including the Hoopaloo's theft of her arsenal. The hunter considered that other mercenaries would have hunted down the "kriffing" Hoopaloo and ripped off his beak. Yorrick noted that she was not like other mercenaries, and accepted that bad things happened and one just dealt with it. She also considered that it was pointless to waste time or effort chasing the Hoopaloo, especially if she was not being paid to do so.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Hoopaloo was mentioned in the novel The High Republic: The Rising Storm, written by Cavan Scott as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase I and published on June 29, 2021.[5] Prior to the release of the novel, the character was mentioned in an excerpt of the novel published on StarWars.com on April 22 of the same year.[6]

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 The High Republic: The Rising Storm—which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the events of to 231 BBY—establishes that the job on Alzoc III took place after Ty Yorrick left the Jedi Order and before the novel's events. The High Republic Character Encyclopedia establishes that Yorrick left the Order after she was forced to kill Klias Teradine, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 241 BBY. Therefore, the job on Alzoc III must have occurred between 241 BBY and 231 BBY.
