[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

The success can largely be attributed to location, the wisdom not to actually contest the major powers militarily and most importantly, the biggest galactic powers being busy fighting each other rather than the Hutts.

[@razorflossrazor2937]

Frankly alot of that comes from the fact that they live forever and can go I can wait. The huts are basically space elves that can't go decadent because the moment they do a rival takes them out.

[@nicholasgutierrez9940]

Until it didn’t work with the Vong and they began to militarize. Not too much info on that though. It is just too beneficial to ally with them than to fight.

[@merafirewing6591]

The Hutts are the rock in a turbulent galaxy.

[@AckzaTV]

A squishy greedy rock

[@kingnaga619]

My theory about the crisis that forced the Hutts to form a society is that they were TOO effective as predators, and had to form a hierarchical society to keep from wiping one another out over remaining resources, and expand their territory to continue consuming. You see predators too good at their job forcing their own extinction several times in nature, such as Dire Wolves and the Megalodon.

[@simiratzi]

The Hutts are a more creative concept for a species, than most others in the galaxy. Most of them are just bipedal, humanoids with different proportions, skin color and other details. (Ignoring the humanoid/frog-like arms and face), the Hutts seem to be a very alien and incomparable species.

[@MrDibara]

I'm still sad we can't play as a Hutt mobster in SWTOR. Their gimmick could be tough durability and then branch off to either able to hire Henchmen and Bounty Hunters as "summons"/"pets", own and sell slaves for Credits, or really just be a big WWE brawler like that one Hutt who fought Luke! (the rarest of them all, but my favourite kinda Hutt)

[@lordofalltime]

2:47 - is anyone else thinking "NOT THE MOMMA!"?

[@vitorpereira9515]

For 25,000 the Hutts withstood everything that was thrown at them and in the end stood firm as the galaxy around them changed. They outlasted the Rakatan Infinite Empire, the Sith Empires and even the Galactic Republic itselft. Not even the Yuuzhan Vong were able to put an end to their story. No wonder they are respected and feared.

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

Well much of that had to do with them not contesting any of the major powers and that for most of that 25,000 years, the main power in the galaxy was not expansionist. The Sith were always preoccupied with the Jedi/Republic. The Hutts just sat back and were beneficial to have as neutral partners. When the major Galactic powers became Expansionist ones, the Hutts fared very poorly against them militarily. They were essentially a client state of the Empire, the Vong crushed them into the ground and their rebounding after the Vong War again, had more to do with the big players in the galaxy being preoccupied elsewhere.

[@vitorpereira9515]

@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 But there were still Hutts who tried to turn the Hutt Cartel into Hegemons of the Galaxy. Toborro and Karagga for example.

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

Hutts in their first century of adulthood in Legends were more like muscled up snakebois rather than the fat slugs we know, that came with the accumulated wealth.

[@PewPewBeets]

I can believe that Hutts are strong, smart, and heavy enough to be formidable opponents, but they're so slow. If they moved like snakes I could believe they were deadly. However, they move like snails, making them massive lethargic targets that can easily be shot at a distance by any chump with a blaster. Maybe I'm missing something because their mobility doesn't paint them as warriors capable of taking over entire planets.

[@CreatureoftheNight1981]

Speaking of Vorga the Hutt, I love the KOTOR II side quest where you make one of your playable female characters dance like a slave for him in order to put him to sleep and steal his merchandise. The best thing is the different reaction of the girls to your proposal. Brianna gladly accepts in order to proudly show half-naked her physical assets. Mira reluctantly agrees if you say she is the prettiest girl. Kreia literally doesn't say anything against it, though you cannot make her dance, anyway. And Visas simply says "No," refusing to expose anything beyond her beautiful mouth.. Additionally, if you are a woman, you can also become a dancer, although Jabba's butler will show repulsion if your skin is rotten by the Dark Side.

@@fapplejax5486 They do, they just happen to be on the outside (rather than the inside) of their bodies. Also, Wookieepedia describes them as having skeletons. On a completely different note, I personally think they should have given them a different name. After all, the way the term 'Jabba the Hutt' was used in the original trilogy made me think 'Hutt' was either an official title (as in sir/lord/etc. from our own history), or a common moniker (as in William the Conqueror, etc.). Knowing that that's the name of the species makes the titles actually a bit of a let-down.
