Obviously Soldier is like Fighter then...but not really.  Maybe more like a combo between Fighter and Rogue.

Another way that might help you narrow down your choices is by looking at what Prestige classes you may want to take.  You said you want to be a bounty hunter.  Well, you're in luck because there's a Bounty Hunter Prestige Class on Page 207 of the Core Rule book.  

To take the Bounty hunter class you need the following:

Heroic Level: 7th Level
Trained Skill: Survival (so you should choose a class at your 1st level that has Survival which I think only Scout has it as a class skill.)*
Talents: At least 2 talents from the awareness talent tree. (Which also happens to be a Scout talent tree.  Since you only get 1 talent every odd level, you will need to take 3 levels of Scout sometime between now and 7th level.).

*This means, either you choose Scout as your 1st level class and take Survival as one of your starting skills OR you take scout later and then take the Feat: Skill Training (survival).

For reference you might be interested to know Boba fett is a Scout 3/Soldier 5/Bounty Hunter 5/Elite Trooper 2.  Bounty hunter and Elite Trooper are both Prestige classes.
