[edit] History

I'm trying to understand the history section -- did the Hutts take over Nal Hutta before or after their war with Xim the Despot? If it was before, the Evocii couldn't have appealed to the Jedi and the Old Republic. If it was after, does that mean the Hutts had no permanent homeworld for a long time after the destruction of Varl? Or was Varl abandoned during the times of the Republic?

  • I'm not sure... I don't have any source to hand for that kind of info. But, I was wondering whether the " Foetal Hutts spend their first year of existence in the pouch of their mother similar to kangaroos" bit was entirely appropriate? lol. --Beeurd 00:26, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • OK, the newest edits seem to have cleared this up (though I think the 15,000 BBY date is wrong. Someone check this?) — Silly Dan 22:00, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hutt in AOTC

Did a Hutt appear in AOTC? They used the sound of a Hutt laughing in the background of the Outlander Club, even if none were seen. The ITW:AOTC book says a Hutt often visited the club, and it had several floors, so I guess he/she/it was on a different floor than Obi-Wan and Anakin in the movie. I´ll add it, but feel free to remove if it´s not appropriate. VT-16 17:37, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

  • FWIW, the Databank only shows appearances in I, IV, and VI. Silly Dan 18:13, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Hutts

That's not a list of notable Hutts, that's a list of all the Hutts we can note. The list should be no more than 8-10, and the rest can be moved to "List of Hutts" if you want. --SparqMan 20:39, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Appearances

Need sources, not appearances. --SparqMan 21:37, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hutts and the force

can hutts become jedi and if so can one be listed Hicups0002 13:18,15 April 2006

  • Yes, and Beldorian. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 17:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
    • i found that out right after i posted this heh...oopsHicups0002 16:18,13 April 2006

[edit] Past Tense?

Why is this article written completely in the past tense, when all other articles in Wookieepedia are written in present tense? Example: "The Hutts were a species ... --JediTaz 19:11, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

  • All In-universe articles are written in past tense. What other articles are in present tense? -- SFH 19:20, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • well THAT is silly. Past tense should properly ONLY be used in an article about an extinct species. Anything else is just bad grammar. Red Elven 12:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can Hutts actually have sex? (I know its a nasty thought)

Can hutts actually have sex with other creatures? Since they reproduce by themselves i would think that they wouldn't need to --Dumac 03:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

  • They do with each other, which raises another question. When they do, can both partners become pregnant?

I think they would do it much like snails/slugs since they have very similar appearences.

  • i read on wookieepedia somewere that there was a guy who made hutt porn, so i guess they can have sex(unless its non-canon) user: Raltaran
    • And how do they do it with Twi'leks and Humans? And why, I ask, are they attracted to Humanoids so much, as opposed to other slug-like beings? Do they have insecurity issues with their own species' appearance? Xanofar 05:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

ugh! now i've got that image stuck in my head!blah —Unsigned comment by Jedimasterman (talk • contribs).

[edit] Inconsistant number of fingers

  • Has anyone else noticed that Jabba has three digits on each hand in RotJ, but in TPM and ANH special edition, he has four. Do Hutts lose a digit as they grow older or something?
    • I most certainly have. I was just about to ask that same question too! you really can't see Jabba's fingers too well in ROTJ. he's always holding something, or it's blending in with his belly. On the Vintage figure of jabba, one arm has 4 fingers and the other has 3. Beets me, it's either what you said about them falling off, or Lucas made a boo-boo in ANH and tried to cover it in APM and the DVD ANH. Comics arn't too much help, in that in one pannel the Hutt has 3 fingers and in the next the Hutt would have 4. gardulla was "Older" when she was killed and she still had the fat old 4 fingers. So I wouldn't say they would just fall off. I'll look it up. --Jabbathehuttgartogg 07:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jabba's Palace

"They had the ability to see ultraviolet light and other frequencies not used by the human eye, and often, wealthy Hutts lit their palaces in those spectrums of light, giving intruders a false sense of stealth."

Is this the case in RotJ?

  • Yes. Though you never saw Jabba's palace at night, 'nor see Jabba in the Pitch black of darkness. But, being a Hutt he would have the abilitie and I think his Palace would be lit up like that says --Jabbathehuttgartogg 16:24, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Main Picture

I know we have a better main pic than this. - Angel Blue 451 16:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hutt Coloration

Before anyone reverts the blue addition please note there is a blue Hutt inside the cantina in Moenia on Naboo in Star Wars: Galaxies.

  • His name's Borvo, just to let you know. Don't know a Hutt's name ask me. --Jabbathehuttgartogg File:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg File:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg 01:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Y'know, I know Borvo is canon even though SWG is pretty questionable canonicity -- but I remember a comment about Hutt colouration from AC Crispin's Solo trilogy that a Hutt starts out with mostly orangy/yellow skin, which becomes more and more green as it ages. This is why Jabba is partly green and partly orange, and the much younger Durga is depicted as almost completely orange. Ewor Nimajneb 22:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hutt Tail usage

Hutts use their tail as their fighting 'weapon' in hand-hand combat. This is how Jabba's uncle gets in a fight with a Hutt from another clan and gets killed by tail strikes (in HS Trilogy). This lets Jabba take the top spot in their clan. Not sure how to fit their tail use into the article right now. -Finlayson 02:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] If they can hold their breath for long periods of time...

... how was it that Leia was able to strangle Jabba?

He didn't expect it, so he didn't have time to inhale?--Canuhearmenow 20:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

There's a difference between not being able to get air, and having the blood flow to your brain stopped. You can die just by someone squeezing the arteries in your neck, even though your windpipe for you to breathe is wide open. I assume the same for Hutts. -dredwulf60 19:10 6 NOV 2007

[edit] Main Image

I suggest changing the main picture. I think a picture of Jabba would be best, or at least, the one of the two crime lords. Chack Jadson 20:00, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

  • I concur. Whenever a picture from the films or something besides a drawing is available, it should be used.

[edit] Basic

Should we mention that Hutts speak Huttese mostly as a matter of choice, and are perfectly capable of speaking Basic when they feel like it (which isn't very often, according to Tempest Feud)? In the Jabba the Hutt: Art of the Deal comics, it looked as though Jabba was speaking Basic the entire time, while in Tempest Feud, Mika the Hutt would speak in Basic, showing that he was a rather unusual Hutt while Vago would use it when needed as a Hutt middleman.--LightWarden 03:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hutts and Mind Tricks

Hutts are supposed to be nearly immune to mind tricks, but in Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival, Qui-Gon mind-tricks a Hutt. (I'll get the quote later.) So was this one just a really weak-minded Hutt, or was Qui-Gon just really good? Because if it was just that Qui-Gon was really good, then how come it didn't work on Watto in Ep. I? Just wondering... --Crazy Jedi Girl 05:23, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Hutts can be Mind Tricked in KOTOR. And even if they are immune, that evidence would probably show that Toydarians are more resistant than Hutts. Giga Hertz 07:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
    • I didn't know that about KOTOR; I'm not a gamer - can't play a video game to save my life - so... yeah. Maybe Toydarians really are more resistant than Hutts. This is somewhat confusing. :P --Crazy Jedi Girl

Mind trick works on the weak-willed. Jabba was strong-willed. Hutts being immune to the mind trick, just because Jabba has a striong will is nonsense that should never have been canonized.

[edit] Jabba-clever or thick?

Jabba has a strong will, so why does Tyber Zann say'...although I doubt Jabba's intelligence...'? Is this what he really thought, or did he say it just because he hated Jabba?81.155.82.155 17:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Any gamer (Star Wars d20 or otherwise) ought to back me up on this: a strong will and intelligence don't necessarily go hand in hand. I'd say that people who are both exceptionally stupid and exceptionally stubborn are among the biggest problems on this planet, as [generic highly-charged political statement] goes to show. 66.61.34.124 01:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IMAGES - JABBA

There is not a single image of Jabba the Hutt, this is as bad as the Hayden Christensen image on Darth Vader's page. Xanofar 05:30, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hutt names

Galaxy Guide 11 has some info we need to incorporate: " Hutts have three names, though only the first is typically known to outsiders. The second is their cuirvas, which identifies their clan. Scholars are uncertain as to the nature of the third name as so few are known. Some believe it names the family the Hutt belongs to. Others suggest it is a form of honorary title that conveys a measure of importance from one Hutt to another. Whatever the case, a Hutt will only reveal its first name to non-Hutts This is seen by some to indicate the Hutt's desire to "protect" his clan from becoming targets of "outsiders." " --p 53 So they certainly don't MIND!JustinGann 08:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
