The ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise has a known fondness for PlanetOfHats, especially in ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends]]''. The general rule seems to be that the first alien character that appears in a movie is a typical member of their race, so whatever they appear to be doing in the movie, is what ''any'' given member of that species is likely to be doing.

* In ''[[Literature/TheCallistaTrilogy Planet of Twilight]]'', there's even a Hutt Jedi called Beldorian the Splendid (darksider, but still greatly atypical for a Hutt).

** Legends heavily implies that the Hutt's true hat is ''ambition'' and thirst for power. In the distant past they used to be an expansionist empire and the greatest threat the (relatively) young Galactic Republic was facing, until inner rivalries erupted in a decades-long civil war known as the Hutt Cataclysms that laid waste to multiple star systems (hence why they refer to it as the Hutt Cataclysm''s'') including ''their home system'' (their homeworld of Varl orbited binary suns. During the Cataclysms, the Hutt somehow blew up one and reduced the other to a white dwarf, wiping out all life in the system in the process), and after relocating to Nal Hutta the survivors came up with the Kadijic system that turned most of them to gangsters to channel their expansionist ways in a less distructive manner.
*** There are still a few remnants of the old ways: occasionally an important Hutt will try and return the Hutt Clans to an expansionist empire, the Shell Hutts are a clan that still clings to the warrior ways to the point of [[TwentyFourHourArmor wearing armor the entire time]] (hence their name), and [[Literature/NewJediOrder when the Yuuzhan Vong occupied Nal Hutta]] they discovered the hard way that the ancient but powerful war robots decorating the streets, taken as prizes from an ancient war, ''were fully functional and hostile'', as [[CrazyPrepared the Hutt had carefully maintained them for over 25,000 years and reprogrammed them to turn on any invader just in case someone actually managed to invade their new homeworld]].

Per TRS, this was moved from Planet Of Dunce Caps.

Added DiffLines:

* ''[[Literature/XWingSeries X-Wing: Wraith Squadron]]'' mentions Agamar, a primarily agricultural planet whose inhabitants are derided as space hicks by the rest of the galaxy. The truth is of course more complicated, but the captain of the Wraiths' carrier, an Agamar native himself, helps drill some of the Wraiths in the stereotype so they can go undercover as a trio of Agamarian tourists looking for "brides." The customs official they deal with is so bewildered by their [[HawaiianShirtedTourist eye-searing outfits]] and [[ComicallySmallBribe attempt at bribery]] ("A whole credit.") that he waves them through without further incident and doesn't notice he was just dealing with Wedge Antilles, one of the most famous fighter pilots in the galaxy.
