They absolutely are. They go where the money is - if the rebels had paid them appropriately then they would have been doing stuff for the rebels.

BH are realistically as neutral as it gets among title characters.

Greed and a lack of moral conviction doesn't make one neutral.

I would argue the opposite. Greed makes it so that you just don’t care. Zam Wesell says her attempt to kill Padme was “just a job”. Just because someone is paying you for one job, doesn’t mean they won’t follow the money. If the Rebels paid better than the Empire or Jabba, you can bet that Boba would be shadowing Han WHEREVER HE WENT. Playing both sides makes you Neutral in any sense of the word.

The light side is about collective strength, the dark side is about thw strength of the individual. Playing both sides, in this case, is about nihilism. Say what you want about the narcissim of the sith, but at least it's an ethos... Neutrality, by your terms, is just greed over any sense of morality.

Presumptuous statement

How so? He's defining neutrality as self-interest. You fight for one side until the other pays you more, so you believe in cash more than you believe in the sith code or the rebellion. Greed and not believing in anything enough to actually commit. What would you call it?

Keep in mind, I'm not saying this means bounty hunters are all dark side by necessity. Bounty hunting is just a job. The Mandalorian and Greef, they're light side for a reason. What I'm responding to is the faulty logic of people saying Boba Fett is neutral because he would betray anyone if offered a better price.

Morality is subjective

It's easier to argue that greef and mando were neutral while they were bounty hunters than that they were light side. They put a hit out on a baby.

They eventually changed their ways and then became aligned against gideon but that doesn't make them ls all along.

Neither of them knew the job, it was just another puck from a renowned documentarian until the capsule opened. We don't have enough information about Mando or Greef to know their alignment at the start of the series--although, given that Mando was raised by a sect of Mandalorians with a strong collective ethos I would be inclined to say he was light from the get-go.

Just cause he was in a cult doesn't mean it's a good cult. Mandolorians did battle and oppose the jedi...
