Since this Star Wars Hunters thread is going to be very long, I'm going to make a shorter thread with quoted posts where you can jump in where you want if there's a specific character you want to read about.

On his belt, he wears the symbol of the High Republic era, and his shorts and shoulders have patterns similar to the Ansata patterns worn on the robes of Madame Jocasta Nu from Attack of the Clones.

Grozz’s next Legendary costume is High Republic Champion, which sees him dressed similar to the Wookiee Jedi Kelnacca from The Acolyte.

While these don’t have a direct connection to the shyyyo bird, they did appear fighting against Cal Kestis in the sequel to Fallen Order, 2023’s Jedi: Survivor.

The costume’s weapon wrap is the DT Sentry Clubs, a pair of limbs from the Baktoid Combat Automata DT-series sentry droids used by the Empire and first seen in Star Wars Rebels.

The center of the armor’s breastplate also includes a stylized representation of the shyyyo bird.

You can see this in the helmet resembling the massive bird’s armored head.

The next Legendary costume is Shyyyo Defender. Another suit of armor, this one covers more of Grozz’s body and features motifs resembling the shyyyo bird from Fallen Order.

The weapon wrap described reinforces that these arms belonged to a B1 battle droid:

“B1 droids are flimsy, but they sure don’t feel like it when they hit you in the face!” -Slingshot

The weapon wrap for this costume is Huttballer Clubs. These are the arms of a B1 battle droid, including the electromagnetic joint couplings at the shoulders.

Apparently Grozz had a pretty impressive career, as evidenced by Zaina’s quote in the costume description:

“His win record is ridiculous… is Grozz the greatest Huttballer ever? See for yourself!” -Zaina

The next Legendary costume for Grozz is Mighty Huttballer. Here Grozz wears a full Huttball uniform, with his number (52) in Aurebesh numerals on his chest. The shoulder pads feature the Huttball logo on one and the team logo on the other.

This also ties in something from the Andor series, that those still clinging to the Separatist banner after the Clone Wars found themselves fighting against the Empire, like the Neo-Separatist Coalition led by Anto Kreegyr, portrayed on screen by Andor graphic designer Barry Gingell.

The weapon wrap description reads:

“At least we can agree that we don’t like Separatists.” -Sentinel

The weapon wrap for this costume, Super Battle Clubs, are modeled on the arms of a B2 super battle droid, which the Wookiees fought against in the Battle of Kashyyyk in Revenge of the Sith.

It seems by Zaina’s quote in the costume description that Grozz probably didn’t participate in the battle itself:

“I don’t think he ever was a general… but i’m definitely not going to ask him.” -Zaina

He’s clad in helmet and armor resembling that worn by the Wookiee Army General Tarfful’s, but with the emblem worn on his back instead.

And that’s it for Grozz’s Epic costumes! Next we’ll look at his Legendary costumes, starting with Furious Warmonger. This has Grozz suited up in Wookiee battle armor, like we saw in Revenge of the Sith. The game files name this costume “Kashyyyk Warrior”.

The Scoring Clubs are redocrated KX security droid arms in the yellow/red colors of Grozz’s jacket with the Huttball logo replacing the Imperial cog.

The Ballgame Clubs are probably meant to represent the actual clubs used by Huttball teams. They feature the same rendering of the ball used in the sport as in the logo seen throughout the game.

Shane • Star Wars 5W @starwars5w.bsky.social · 8h

This costume actually has two weapon wraps associated with it, the Ballgame Clubs and Scoring Clubs, which both share the “Arena Jacket Yellow” name in the game’s files.

Shane • Star Wars 5W @starwars5w.bsky.social · 8h

Next up, we have the final Epic costume, Huttball Jacket. Another variant of Grozz’s jacket costumes, this one features a larger Huttball logo on the back. The game files refer to it as “Arena Jacket Yellow”.

The name for this set in the game files is “Pirate Scum”, which probably references the “Bounty hunters. We don’t need their scum” line from The Empire Strikes Back.

The weapon wrap for this costume is the Pirate Clubs. Very rough and savage looking, these replace the KX droid parts with wooden clubs with axe blades tied to the tops. The tribal designs from Grozz’s vest are also painted on the wood.

The costume description includes Kitster and Din Djarin’s favorite adjective:

“Grozz even makes piracy seem wizard! I’d be happy to call him my captain any day!” -Sprocket

Kitster telling Anakin his podracer is "wizard", from The Phantom Menace.
