Jabba's Criminal Empire | Star Wars

[@wile123456]

Hutt space was always interesting to me. A huge place of many systems and planets not under the rule of the republic, cis, empire or New republic. But it is never explored much in the movies and only became a thing due to the expanded universe

[@andrewk9267]

Agreed. It's really the only significant star polity that has been around as long as the various predecessors/iterations/successors of the Republic, that is itself not a part of the Republic entity in some way. Really interesting idea

[@DuelMp5]

You can try SWTOR and pick the Smuggler or Bounty Hunter class Just play through the single player story, you might enjoy it

[@wile123456]

@@andrewk9267 yea but it also isn't very centralized or governed like the other entities. It's little crime lords controlling their own territory and responding to the Hutt council, but often fighting amongst each other

[@hellfish2309]

You spend some time on Nar Shadaa in “Jedi Outcast”; it’s an ecumenopolis moon of Nal Hutta

[@DIEGhostfish]

In Legends The Empire nominally ruled Hutt space unlike the other powers. But their De Jure power was purely theoretical they never really pushed the issue to obtain real control. The battle of Nar Shada was one "Attempt" to enforce control, but Palpatine never intended to actuallt WIN that fight. The threat of sending an actual serious invasion was enough to extract expanded protection payments and the TIE factory from Force Unleashed.

[@jtjames79]

The criminal faction is everything that makes Star Wars interesting. By keeping the Galaxy in strife they make the most profit. A strict dictatorship would find them all out of power. A free society means they can't profit off of smuggling and crime. It's always in the criminals interest to keep the good guys and the bad guys at each other's throats.

[@xinzlo]

If the society was truly free, smuggling wouldn't be a crime.

[@jtjames79]

@@xinzlo exactly. It's why criminal organizations are generally tough on crime voters. It keeps their monopoly, and separates the stupid from the clever, and the weak from the strong.

[@chuckbuck5002]

[@Thoralmir]

Forgot to mention how Jabba pretty much came to completely control all the Hutt Cartel after the Maul incident. As in, Maul and Savage killed pretty much every other member of the Hutt Council.

[@adamwelch4336]

Yet there didn't seem to be any pushback in the Hutt cartel from the other hutts!🤔

[@JustDevon1]

That was Darth Vader. The Hutt Cartel allied with Maul and his Shadow Collective during the Clone Wars, but just before Return of the Jedi Vader killed all members of the Hutt Council but Jabba as he wasn't there at the time. This is all seen in the Darth Vader comic (2020) issue 14

[@TK--hf6db]

Wrong. It was the Black Sun council that was killed by Savage.

[@AtticusAmericanus]

The gact that people constantly underestimate the Hutts counts towards their acumen as Crime Lords. "Slugs that can't even stand up" but which are actually three to five tons of pure muscle on top of a brain that worked out hyperspace mechanics while the rest of the galaxy was banging the rocks together to make fire. Hutts don't move fast because they don't have to move fast. When you see one moving fast, it's usually the last thing you'll ever see.

[@Rodrigo_Vega]

I still would like to see that in some form of canon media. Leia's murder of Jabba wasn't quite a masterful assassination. She just wrapped a chain around his neck and chocked to death like a b**** in a couple of seconds. He could have used his mightly tail to spring up and crush her against the ceiling, or spin like a log and crush her under his own weight. Anything would do. Show me how scary they can be, what do they do to intimidate another races when they have no pre-existing power. Anyone can gather they are intelligent, but from what we've seen, they aren't that imposing.

[@AtticusAmericanus]

@@Rodrigo_Vega Jabba's death is like watching Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez strangle the 87 year old Victor Amuso, Lucchese Don, to death while wearing lingerie.

[@charlessalvia7176]

I'd like a detailed look at the history of the Max Rebo band and how they got their gig with Jabba and then somehow survived the sail barge explosion. Preferably it should also include an exposé of Sy Snootles' struggle with spice addiction, and how she ultimately overcame and faced her demons, and then went on to go platinum, selling out stadiums on Coruscant.

[@stingr23]

Kinda makes you wonder about if she went to rehab, and how rehab works in Star Wars universe😄

[@JohnSmith-wx9wj]

Robot Chicken had only Max Rebo survive.

[@tomsyn]

there's a flash of a similar band in a doctor aphra comic making a joke that after an explosion they say "bet nothing like this happens in jabbas palace" I think...... not 100% it's been ages since I read it but nearly sure

[@konstantinosnikolakakis8125]

@stingr23 The guy who tries to sell Obi Wan death sticks actually goes into rehab and then dedicates his life to getting people off the spice.

[@hansofaxalia]

I always thought it was stupid for the “galactic” republic to demand immediate demilitarization, despite being a stone throw away from space Detroit.

[@Pancasilaist8752]

They really wanted to make it a reference to world war two where allied wanted to demilitarize germany. Forgetting this is about rebellion between rebel and govermeny,not war between difference alliance of nation.

Awesome job, guys. Happy new year again. Think that Jabba's kid could make an appereance before or after?

[@spawnofmutran5198]

Depending on how hutt aging in Canon compares to that in Legends, Rotta could still be a baby at the end of the Original Trilogy. That's not to say he couldn't appear and be important to the plot, but he may not be old enough to have much initiative of his own. It would still be interesting to see what became of him after his father died.

[@jeremy1860]

I'm surprised the Empire never tried taking on the Outer Rim. Palpatine never struck me as the kind of guy who'd tolerate ANYONE not being under his control 🤔

[@imawaffle148]

oh, they tried. I'm sure they tried. But the outer rim is just too hard to control due to it's distance from the core, and the rampant crime doesn't help either

[@sithmaster4305]

A bunch of shithole worlds with thugs and corruption sector wide would be both a meat grinder, and a pointless venture that may force more corruption into the empire.

[@DIEGhostfish]

The Empire did rule the outer rim. Most of it directly, some of it through vassals like the Centrality, the Tion cluster, the Corporate sector or kinda-sorta Hutt Space was officially part of thr Empire

Love this video. Criminal underworld in fantasy - sci fi is very intresting. But i, as allways, comment that please take a look to the Infinity by corvus belli universe. I know its underground but for me it has a lot of super original and well developed ideas. The triad wars and the mercenary stock markets are very intresting topic for the criminal world of Infinity.

[@andrewniehoff8612]

I liked it, but I preferer legends. There, if I recall, they were open about the fact that they were criminals and did not feel the need to hide it. Also, the Hutts did not lose control of Hutt space with his death.

[@ericmadsen7470]

Thanks for an explanation of the untamed outer rim especially Jabba's criminal empire. Long after his death, Boba Fett is trying to take charge of it all. Boba is going about it by way of respect and fear. Who is watching The Book of Boba Fett? How's it going for him?

[@pbcoop62]

I've seen the first two episodes and am enjoying it so far. Lots of flashback scenes, and Episode 2 is heavily based on "Lawrence of Arabia."
