Mebber,
Yautja,

I never really cared about this "honour" thing, mainly because i don't see the point of it at all. Honour is a rather abstract concept, and even if the yautja follow some sort of honour code, i don't thing that would make them nobler or less badass. What honour means or how it is accomplished or sustained may differ between different cultures, and since yautja aren't human at all, who knows what their exact perception of honour actually is.
That reminds me of some story i heard about the honour code of the so-called noble knights of the middleages. Their code gave them certain rules of behavior, some of them meant to force them to engange enemies in a sort of fair fight. Sounds very "honorble" and lead to this nice, romantic image of knights we have partly today. Point is, this code didn't applied to EVERYONE, just for other nobles. Non-noble were percieved as simply lower beings, and there was no problem to treat them like shit. So, this whole fair-play stuff didn't applied to all the poor field grunts or lowlife guys like your regular farmer bond-slave. They were more viewed as sort of "possessions", so why would you bother to act "fair" if you deal with them? You don't, you just stomp them under your horses feet like vermin without giving them the slightest chance. They just don't count into the whole honour thing.
So, i think honor is quite relative and subjective. Maybe the yautja have an code of honour, but even if, that wouldn't mean they're nicer guys as without a code.
