Hutt's in Clone Wars Series (spoilers)

As I mentioned in another thread, I believe Ziro is transitioning from male to female as Hutts do gender transfer during their lifetimes. He's the uncle in the movie, so it seems to me that would explain how he seems more like a crossdresser.

 

Could Ziro be Jilac's sister/brother? Also, the film made out as if there was only ONE Hutt clan, what about Durga's family?

 

We'll likely see more of the Hutts with the tv series is my guess.

 

Perhaps, but I think it's more likely Filoni et al weren't aware of them.

 

How would you rate the Hutt's that were featured in the Clone Wars movie?

 

I have mixed feelings about the Hutts in the movie. Jabba was, as 2ndQuest pointed out, Jabba. As for Ziro and Rotta...didn't much like them. I wish Anakin would've held more anger towards the Hutts, even Rotta. I didn't like Rotta that much, and Ziro was...strange.

I think they should've gotten Nathan Lane to voice Ziro.

 

Jabba is ALWAYS just Jabba. Ziro's voice reminded me of The Catepillar from Alice in Wonderland(could be the smoking thing too, LOL) But they ended up being good stooges as usual, I mean where is the power, Jabba?

 

I like the tatooes on Ziro. Do I like Ziro? No.

Jabba was Jabba, I seriously wondered if Anakin would have to face a Rancor. Then again I'm sure he didn't have the Rancor yet.

I think that considering the TCW is a kid oriented flick that they did pretty well with the Hutts.

 

Ziro's voice reminded me of Mr Slave from South Park.

 

Sometimes I swore I could hear Cartman accents coming out. I would have laughed so hard if it had been the same voice of the Devil. I know it has nothing to do with SW but if the same voice of the Devil were the voice of Ziro they would have to throw Saddam's name in there somehow.

 

Ziro should have been Jabba's aunt, for various reasons. Although we already have Queen Jool and her striped corset XD

The tattoos are rad. The Yuuzhan Vong underground art scene would approve. Also the cyberpunk artists who draw dragons with glowsticks and stitches and masks and dreadlocks.

 

Definitely the tats are cool. Coolest tats in SW I've seen since Maul. No one can top Maul's tats in the SW universe.

 

Underground? With their weird taste in art?

 

Ziro would have been ten times better with male dancers.


But he was sufficiently awesome enough. And the Black Sun tatoos were a great EU addition.

 

I approve of this explanation. The Yuuzhan Vong underground scene is full of Mon Calamari fetishionists and anteater taxidermists (who keep the skin on!), at least in my opinion. Why, I'd think one of them even keeps a General Grievous action figure handy for those challenging poses.

I just remembered the snogging scene between those two bargoers in the background.

I guess Ziro doesn't like dancers as much as the much younger Jabba. Maybe the bargoers were his "dancers". Hey, can't fully-clothed Nikto be part of the scene too?
But what would have made Ziro 100x better would be the addition of Yuuzhan Vong dancers. If only...

 

I loved the Hutts in the Clone Wars movie. I thought they were fantastic, and finally brought a little bit of depth to the species, at least for those of us who aren't extremely well drenched in EU novels and comics.

I cringed in both viewings when I heard the great and mighty Jabba talk about his "Punkie Muffin". But other than that, I thought they were fantastic.

Any word on if we'll see Hutts in the regular episodes, or if they'll just be in the ones from the movie?

 

I meant, lookalikes. They happen, there being many, many generic tattooed pale leather-wearing grunts out there.

Actually, the Yuuzhan Vong sent out scouts for reconaissance in this era. Vergere was abducted some time after The Phantom Menace. There's a chance of some going to Coruscant.

Now, I wonder if Hutt biology will be discussed in the series. The movie was trying to avoid the fact that Hutts are hermaphrodites, but the information is readily available on starwars.com

 

I really liked the portrayal of the Hutt's in Clone wars, it's nice to see a few more familiar faces - Jabba - though I do agree with a point someone made earlier, they were turned into a bit of a comedy piece as opposed to giant, grotesque and intimidating crime lords.
The introduction of Jabba's son almost made me burst out laughing, but when they said Huttlet, I hadn't quite expected that.

Ziro's voice also reminded me a lot of the voice for Mr Slave though the nature of Hutt's being hermaphrodites kind of lead me to believe that perhaps Ziro was more in touch with his feminine side, than he was with the other half Perhaps he was 'going through the change' at this point? Just a thought.

 

Remember Trillot from The Cestus Deception? Yeah, I'm reminded of her now. She was the brother of the other X'ting until someway into the story. She was also rather Huttish.
