    When Zam Wessel says this she is shot in the neck with a dart. But after that she utters something weird. It sounds something like Wastoni Slimo. Does anyone have any idea what she is saying?

    It's Huttese. Slimo is the same word Anakin uses in TPM for 'slimebag'. I don't know what the other word was.

    I think it was some type of cuss. Cussing at Jango for killing her. Although, I always thought it included the word Poo doo. BUt I guess not.

    According to the DVD text commentary, it was "bounty hunter slimeball".

    (for more info from the text commentary, see this thread)

    I had always wondered what she was saying too, now I do, and that does explain Anakin's face after she died. :p

    If Tatooine is so far out of the Republic, then why the freak does everyone seem to speak it's native language? And, of course, whatever she said doesn't matter. If it had relevance it would have been brought up in the movie. Nevertheless, I too have wondered what in the freak she was saying.

    i got the impression from RotJ that Jabba often does business with bounty-hunters and such people.. it doesnt seem very far-fetched to me that someone working illegally would be inclined to learn Huttese at some point

    Huttese isn't just spoken on Tatooine, it is spoken in all of Hutt Space, it is probably the 2nd most popular language in the GFFA.

    I don't get it - "A bounty hunter named bounty hunter slimeball" ?

    Was she talking to herself, politely cursing Jango's name in G rated format?
    Or did she think that Jango's name was 'bounty hunter slimeball'?

    my guess would be the first one.

    I'd go for her cursing him because he has shot her. If you go by the EU (Jango Fett/Zam Wessel comics and Bounty Hunter game) she has worked with Jango before so she knows who and what he is.
