| 21 | [[header:The Hutt Clan]] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Among the largest criminal cartels in the galaxy, the Hutt Clan was led by the Grand Hutt Council on the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta. The Hutt crime families that made up the clan were known as kajidics. Under their control was the informal sector known as "Hutt Space", in which many of the native species, including the Weequay, Nikto, Vodran, Jilruan, Sakiyans, and Ganks, were conquered and forced into servitude to the Hutt Clans. In the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War, the Hutt Clan lost much of its power with the fall of the Empire and rise of the New Republic, with many of their slave races rising in rebellion and freeing their homeworlds from Hutt control. |

| 39 | |
| 40 | As the leader of the Desilijic crime family, Jabba the Hutt was one of the galaxy’s most powerful gangsters, with far-reaching influence in both politics and the criminal underworld. There were no second chances with Jabba, which is something Han Solo would find out -- though the slug-like alien would ultimately fall victim to his own hubris and vengeful ways when foolishly underestimating [[Characters/StarWarsLukeSkywalker a certain Jedi]]. |
| 41 | ---- |
| 42 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To Leia and every slave girl he owns. They can't really resist his advances since he has them on a chain leash. |
| 43 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: When "Boushh" demands a doubled price for the bounty and announces they're holding a thermal detonator, everyone else takes cover. However, Jabba laughs it off, declaring that he appreciates the bounty hunter for their stones, and agrees to meet the demand halfway. |
| 44 | * AdaptationalVillainy: As depraved as he is in canon, he's even worse in the Shakespearean adaptations of the films. |
| 45 | * AdiposeRex: Though he's a fat crime lord instead of a fat king. |
| 46 | * AliceAllusion: The costume designer on ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' acknowledged the Caterpillar from ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' as an inspiration for Jabba the Hutt (although Creator/RogerEbert pointed out that Jabba's face looks more like the Cheshire Cat). |
| 47 | * ArcVillain: Getting out from Jabba's thumb motivates much of Han's actions across the original trilogy, and saving Han from his clutches makes up the opening act of ''Return of the Jedi''. |
| 48 | * BadBoss: He harshly punishes anybody who fails him, often by feeding them alive to whatever monstrous pet he currently keeps. |
| 49 | --> '''Fennec Shand''': "If you had spoken such insolence to Jabba, he would have fed you to his menagerie." |
| 50 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He doesn't treat animals that well, with the exception of Salacious B. Crumb (and even then, Crumb only lives if he could make Jabba laugh every day). Not only does he eat live animals as part of his diet, but he often kills them out of boredom when watching the annual Boonta Eve Podrace in ''The Phantom Menace''. Additionally, he deliberately starves his Rancor so that it will always be hungry and aggressive whenever he drops someone down the Rancor pit, and occasionally force-feeds people to the Sarlacc in the Pit of Carkoon, oblivious (at best) to the fact that the Sarlacc doesn't even want to eat people. |
| 51 | * BaitTheDog: Jabba's conversation with Han in Special Edition of ''A New Hope'' is one of the few times that Jabba is actually being nice and reasonable, even explaining why he felt Han shouldn't have jettisoned the spice when the Empire came inspecting. But then he ends his wonderful speech by reminding Han if he fails to pay him this time, he'll put a bounty on his head that's so large that Han will never step foot on any star system civilization again. |
| 52 | * BondVillainStupidity: Jabba's love of theatrics backfires with both the Rancor pit and the Sarlacc. In the Rancor's case, the concept is sound but the switch that controls the gate was left within reach of its victims. With the Sarlacc, he insists on executing Luke and company in the most dramatic way possible despite having just seen another GladiatorGames-style demise fail. |
| 53 | * BountyHunter: Most bounty hunters answer to Jabba, who places most illegal bounties out, to begin with. Jabba also isn't above being a bounty hunter himself if the opportunity presents itself. |
| 54 | * BullyingADragon: This is an unfortunate trait of Jabba's when dealing with Force-users like the Jedi or Sith. Whenever they come for negotiations or with forcible demands, Jabba always acts like he's the more powerful of the two even if the person in question can easily use the Force or their lightsaber to kill him. |
| 55 | ** In ''The Clone Wars''' pilot movie, Jabba tries to have Anakin executed on the spot for allegedly abducting his son Rotta and only gets angrier instead of being afraid when Anakin points a lightsaber at his face. Even when his son is returned to him by Ahsoka, Jabba still wants them killed despite the fact that there are now ''two'' Jedi in the room. |
| 56 | ** In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E14Eminence Eminence]]", Jabba laughs off Maul's offer of joining his Shadow Collective faction despite Maul having made examples of those who refused his invitation, though it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as he was on Tatooine when Maul invaded the Hutt Council and only accepts his demands when the Sith personally stormed into his palace and overwhelmed his goons. |
| 57 | ** In ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]'', when Darth Vader himself comes on behalf of the Empire, Jabba is rather unimpressed by his presence and [[WrongGenreSavvy mistakenly believes he is a Jedi]]. After slaughtering most of Jabba's thugs, Vader swiftly reminds Jabba that he's dealing with a Sith Lord by [[ForceChoke Force-choking the Hutt into submission]]. Even then, Jabba is less afraid and more amused by Vader's intimidation methods. |
| 58 | ** This ultimately leads to his downfall when he decides to not heed Luke's warnings or demands (despite the fact Luke managed to kill a Rancor without a lightsaber), and decides to execute him and his friends at the Great Pit of Carkoon. His men get overwhelmed by Luke thanks to the "gifts" that Jabba foolishly took, and Jabba ends up being strangled by Leia, a rebel leader he thought he could easily make a slave out of. |
| 59 | * CallForward: The 2015 ''Star Wars'' comics reveal he was once force-choked by Darth Vader, foreshadowing his death years afterward by Vader's daughter. |
| 60 | * TheCameo: He appears as the host of the podrace in ''The Phantom Menace'', but sleeps through most of it. |
| 61 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his debut in ''A New Hope,'' Jabba is remarkably more affable and forgiving than the sadistic and utterly ruthless gangster he would be characterized as in all his appearances thereafter. |
| 62 | * CharacterAsHimself: The credits for ''Phantom Menace'' list Jabba as being played by himself. |
| 63 | * TheChessmaster: In ''The Clone Wars'', Jabba used the fact that it was too dangerous to leave Ziro in Republic custody to have him broken out by Cad Bane on the Hutt Council's payroll, not his own. Then he used [[WomanScorned Sy Snootles]], who also wanted revenge against Ziro, to A) get the holodiary, which gave him the edge against the other members of the Hutt Council, and B) to avenge the kidnapping of Rotta, in which Ziro had a hand, via killing Ziro. |
| 64 | * ClassicVillain: He embodies Sloth (never leaves his dais), Gluttony (always eating and also provides the page image for VillainousGlutton), and Lust (slave girls). |
| 65 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: He was choked to death with a metal chain, and it wasn't quick. [[KarmicDeath As well deserved as it was]], it's noted that Hutts should be very hard for normal humanoids to kill this way (among conventional methods) [[{{Kevlard}} due to their many layers of fat and muscle]]. Leia tapped into the Dark Side of the Force to give her a boost in strength when she strangled Jabba and earned the nickname "Huttslayer" InUniverse because of it. |
| 66 | * DeathByIrony: Leia strangles him with her [[GoGoEnslavement slave chain]]. |
| 67 | * DiabolicalMastermind: Of a galactic criminal organization. |
| 68 | * DirtyOldMan: He's '''[[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 604 years old]]''' ([[LongLivedRace roughly middle-aged by Hutt standards]]), and he loves molesting young females of smaller and supposedly weaker species -- including Princess Leia, who is still in her early twenties at the time. |
| 69 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: For the first act of ''Return of the Jedi'', though it's clear that he's this from the get-go instead of being set up as the true BigBad of the film. |
| 70 | * DoesNotSpeakCommon: Like most Huttese-speakers in the franchise, he ''only'' speaks Huttese, despite understanding Basic and being physically capable of speaking it if he so chose. |
| 71 | * TheDon: He runs one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the galaxy. Or, "ran" in his case, as he wound up dead in spite of it all. |
| 72 | * TheDreaded: Han is normally able to remain calm and collected, but he's motivated in ''A New Hope'' by his need to pay off his debt to Jabba. Being caught by Jabba's Palace without any weapons or bargaining chips leaves him stuttering. |
| 73 | -->'''C-3PO:''' If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short circuit. |
| 74 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: His criminal empire is remarkably diverse and includes too many species to list. This is especially in contrast with TheEmpire, which discriminates against everyone except humans and select near humans. |
| 75 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Albeit in a production wise though chronologically later case. He's first seen taking [=C-3PO=] and [=R2-D2=] with no intention of releasing Han to Luke in return, and then drops Oola to her death in the jaws of the Rancor for refusing him. |
| 76 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He clearly adores his son Rotta and has a legitimate friendship with Ephant Mon. |
| 77 | * EvilIsHammy: Jabba the Hutt enjoys making loud declarations and waving his arms as he sends people to be eaten alive by giant monsters. |
| 78 | * EvilIsNotWellLit: He often spends his time in grungy, low-lit environments. |
| 79 | * EvilIsPetty: |
| 80 | ** Not only does he refuses to accept Luke's several bargain offers for Solo, but he decides to take Luke's "gifts" anyways to mock him. This proves to be his undoing as Luke smuggled his lightsaber into R2-D2, setting up a trap for the Hutt when he later tries to execute the Jedi and his friends. |
| 81 | ** He kills his personal slave dancer Oola for refusing his advancements, then laughs as he sees her getting eaten by the Rancor. |
| 82 | * EvilLaugh: Laughs often at those who he thinks he has completely in his power. |
| 83 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He has an extremely deep voice. |
| 84 | * {{Expy}}: Of the Baron Harkonnen from Franchise/{{Dune}}, and also of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Greenstreet Sydney Greenstreet]] (see NoCelebritiesWereHarmed) and Luca Brasi. Others have noted his appearance somewhat resembles God Emperor Leto II's ascended form, as well as the Caterpillar from ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. |
| 85 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: He's slowly and obviously painfully strangled to death by Leia. |
| 86 | * FatBastard: Being a giant slug who runs a criminal organization makes this a given. Jabba's name has become synonymous in pop culture with {{Fat Bastard}}s, and his name is sometimes invoked as an insult. |
| 87 | * FauxAffablyEvil: When Jabba is approached by someone he appreciates, he usually drops his jerkish behavior in favor of trying to sweet-talk his way into making a profitable deal. However if things don’t go his way, he will drop the affability completely and order them slaughtered. |
| 88 | * FatalFlaw: Jabba's hedonistic lifestyle has deluded the Hutt into thinking the galaxy revolves around him and that he can do whatever he wants in his territory. It nearly got him killed several times by factions led by more powerful figures like Maul and Vader, before it really does him in when he tries to enslave or execute high profile Rebel heroes in his last days. |
| 89 | * FetishesAreWeird: Jabba is the brutal kingpin of a vast criminal empire, and [[BeautyEqualsGoodness a gross slug-alien]] to boot. He's also a big fan of GoGoEnslavement, keeping at least one scantily clad ''humanoid'' woman in his retinue at all times. His debut in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' just plays this as an homage to the MarsNeedsWomen trope (and an excuse for {{Fanservice}}). |
| 90 | * TheGhost: He was this in the original theatrical release of ''A New Hope'', being casually referenced but never actually appearing as he does in recuts. [[EnforcedTrope This was due to the lack of time and budget necessary to film Jabba's scene.]] |
| 91 | * GoGoEnslavement: A favorite tactic of his was to slap whatever unfortunate woman he could find in the skimpiest outfit possible. Leia was the last of his victims, and wound up killing him while wearing the very outfit he forced her in. |
| 92 | * GreaterScopeVillain: For Han's character arc until ''Return of the Jedi''. He's the one with a bounty on Han that causes the scoundrel unease at remaining in one place for too long and drives his reluctance to join the Rebellion. Much like the Emperor, his presence becomes stronger in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' before he finally appears in ''Return of the Jedi''. |
| 93 | * HairTriggerTemper: If something does not go in Jabba's way in the slightest, you'll be able to tell from his reaction. |
| 94 | * HasAType: [[MarsNeedsWomen Female humanoids]] appear to be his main {{lust object}}s, judging by the Twi'lek slave girls at his palace (and later his GoGoEnslavement of Princess Leia). |
| 95 | * HateSink: In the films only, he's a disgusting (physically and mentally), cruel, sleazy asshole. |
| 96 | * HiddenDepths: He is ruthless but generally fair to his underlings, and he found beauty in things most beings would dismiss as ugly and useless. |
| 97 | * IHaveYouNowMyPretty: "<Soon you will learn to appreciate me.>" |
| 98 | * TheHedonist: When it comes down to it, Jabba just loves a good time with plentiful food, women, and entertainment. |
| 99 | * ImmuneToMindControl: Jabba is immune to the effects of the Jedi Mind Trick, allowing him to confront the likes of Luke Skywalker without fear of being swindled. |
| 100 | * ItsPersonal: He already wasn't pleased with Han's constant welching, but when Luke kills the rancor in his attempt to rescue him, he decides to have the two of them, along with Chewie, executed together. |
| 101 | * JabbaTableManners: The {{Trope Namer|s}}. He shovels in gourmet food by the handful. A fair amount of it is alive when he eats it. He can even [[JustEatHim swallow humans whole]]. |
| 102 | * {{Jerkass}}: The Mighty Jabba isn't known for his manners. |
| 103 | * KarmicDeath: He is killed by Leia with her slave chain after he didn't take her brother seriously. |
| 104 | * {{Kevlard}}: Hutts are notoriously difficult to kill because of their many layers of fat and muscle, being able to even shrug off blaster bolts. The reason many in the criminal underworld made a big deal out of Leia killing Jabba and gave her the nickname "Huttslayer" was her [[DefiedTrope defiance]] of this trope, as Leia unconsciously tapped into the Dark Side of the Force for a strength boost when she was strangling him to death. |
| 105 | * KickTheDog: Despite being in ''Return of the Jedi'' for only about 30 minutes, he does several: |
| 106 | ** Torturing droids in his basement and threatening [=C-3PO=] with the same. |
| 107 | ** Dropping poor Oola into the rancor pit when she won't submit to him. |
| 108 | ** Making Leia wear the slave bikini and chaining her to him. |
| 109 | ** Trying to feed Han and Chewbacca to the Sarlacc along with Luke even though they had nothing to do with the rancor's death. |
| 110 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E14Eminence Eminence]]", he submits to Darth Maul after it becomes clear that Jabba's forces are no match for him. |
| 111 | * LargeAndInCharge: Lord knows how his personal cruise ship manages to stay afloat. |
| 112 | * LargeHam: Every word of Huttese that comes out of his mouth has traces of [[ChewingTheScenery the scenery]]. |
| 113 | * TheMagnificent: Every character calls him adjectives like "Mighty" or "Almighty" whenever they are speaking to him. |
| 114 | * MarsNeedsWomen: While he's kept many alien humanoid females as his slaves, he does have a particular interest in the human Leia, likely because she's a princess and a Rebel leader, and thus more valuable than his dime a dozen slaves. |
| 115 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: After enslaving Leia, Jabba attempts to have her lover Han fed to the Sarlaac with his friends while forcing her to watch. |
| 116 | * NecessarilyEvil: In a way, Jaba was this for Tatooine. Jabba's death has a profoundly negative impact on Tatooine's economy, turning its bustling settlements into ghost towns and inadvertently paving the way for Tusken Raiders to gain more turf with the fearsome Hutt dead and many criminal networks subsquently leaving the planet. Under Bib Fortuna's incompetent leadership, things were all but stated to have gotten worse with his selfishness. While it remains to be seen how Tatooine will fare under Boba Fett, especially with him chasing the Pykes out and its economy taking yet another hit from the fallout of his war with them, the man is determined to make the planet thrive again in a more respectful way than how Jabba led with fear. |
| 117 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Greenstreet Sydney Greenstreet]], a classic FilmNoir actor who appeared alongside Creator/PeterLorre and Creator/HumphreyBogart in movies like ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' and ''Film/{{The Maltese Falcon|1941}}''. |
| 118 | * NoSell: He laughs off Luke's attempt to [[JediMindTrick mindtrick]] him in ''Return of the Jedi'', as Hutts as a species are naturally immune. |
| 119 | -->'''Jabba:''' <Your mind powers won't work on me, boy!> |
| 120 | * NonActionBigBad: In ''Return of the Jedi'', Jabba doesn't actually fight the heroes personally. At most, he simply pushes a button to send Luke down to the Rancor pit and struggles to remove the chain from his neck as Leia strangles him. It's justified because he's a fat slug who relies on his minions to do the dirty work for him. |
| 121 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: His MO, befitting a crime lord. It explains why Jabba will help anyone striking a good bargain from the Republic to the Empire. In particular, Jabba even made a halfhearted effort at taking on the outrageously high bounty the Rebellion put on Darth Vader before being quickly put in his place. |
| 122 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: He spends ''A New Hope'' and ''The Empire Strikes Back'' inactive, even though Han owes him money and broke his bargain to help the Rebellion. Even when he does show up, he loafs around on his throne as a spectator. |
| 123 | * PapaWolf: In ''The Clone Wars'', Jabba was ready to align with whoever rescued his son Rotta. When it seemed like Anakin had killed Rotta, Jabba was ready to have him executed at the spot. Plus, there is also the fact that he retaliated against Ziro for kidnapping Rotta via hiring Sy Snootles to kill him along with retrieving the holodiary. His love for his son was apparently strong enough to make him relent and allow Papanoida to make a case against Greedo when he appealed to his love for Rotta to have him help him find his daughters. |
| 124 | * PetTheDog: Although a terrible gangster who loves to rule with fear, Jabba isn't completely evil. He does have a few moments of kindness and respect: |
| 125 | ** Jabba truly loves his son Rotta, to the point that he's willing to help the Republic with their hyperspace lane problems if they can rescue his son. |
| 126 | ** He also helps Chairman Papanoida find his daughters and decides to spare Azool Phantelle's life after he was caught stealing in Jabba's territory because of his relation to Max Rebo. However, he still punished Azool by making him serve as a waiter on his sail barge. |
| 127 | ** He also stands up for the old and senile Marlo in ''War Of The Bounty Hunters'', telling Bokku to let the elderly Hutt rest and take into account his advanced age. |
| 128 | ** He also legitimately likes Han, and gives him several chances to make up for the lost spice shipment before siccing the bounty hunters on him. He even gives him a 5% break on the vig for the delay when they meet in the restored ''Film/ANewHope'' scene. As he notes, he kinda ''had'' to put a hit on Han at some point: he's running a business and can't afford to look like he'll tolerate people not paying him. |
| 129 | * PlotIrrelevantVillain: In the original trilogy, he ultimately serves as little more than a distraction from the heroes' mission to bring down the Empire. |
| 130 | * PrefersRawMeat: As a consummate slovenly VillainousGlutton, he keeps an aquarium of live frog-like amphibians by his dais for snack food. |
| 131 | * PsychopathicManchild: His behavior is much more indicative of this than that of your typical gangster. He throws fits whenever things don't go his way. |
| 132 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's 604 years old, people. |
| 133 | * RecliningReigner: He sits atop a bunch of pillows at his palace. |
| 134 | * RightHandAttackDog: Jabba keeps a Rancor in his palace dungeon to execute anyone who threatens the Hutt. |
| 135 | * {{Sadist}}: Jabba is very open to the idea of senseless violence and murder. He also enjoys seeing his victims being executed. |
| 136 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: According to ''Son of Dathomir'', he and the Hutt Clan broke off from the Shadow Collective after Darth Maul was captured by Sidious. The Hutts are used to being [[NGOSuperpower one of the top dogs in the criminal underworld]] and they only joined because Maul threatened to kill them after defeating their forces. With Maul missing and his strongest soldiers ([[ProudWarriorRace the Mandalorians]]) decreasing in number due to a civil war, this was the perfect opportunity to jump ship. |
| 137 | * SlouchOfVillainy: Being a huge slug, Jabba sits on his dais showcasing his entire body, with an armrest on his left side. |
| 138 | * SmugSnake: Han offers to pay his debts to him and Jabba refuses to listen; when Leia and Luke warn Jabba that they could defeat him, Jabba and his minions do not take them seriously at all. Even when being led to the Sarlacc pit Luke says "this is your last chance; free us, or die." Jabba and his minions still refuse to take them seriously. Jabba is offered so many warnings and so many chances for alternatives that for him to still keep ignoring the heroes makes his KarmicDeath all the more satisfying. |
| 139 | * StarfishAliens: Hutts are large slug-like creatures with toad-like heads. |
| 140 | * TheStarscream: During the High Republic era, he tries to sabotage peace negotiations between the Jedi and Skarabda by having his goons sabotage the ''Vessel'', leaving Bilbousa without reliable defense against the Drengir, and giving him the chance to seize power from Skarabda. |
| 141 | * StupidEvil: Jabba loves to rule with fear, so much so that he wouldn't reason with anyone that comes to bargain, even if the deal is beneficial to him. And when it comes to executions, Jabba opts for a theatrical experience rather than simply shooting them on spot or even selling them to the Empire. He's so predictable in his evil that Luke is able to formulate a plan accurately anticipating what Jabba would do next, and Boba blames Jabba's idiocy for nearly getting him killed. |
| 142 | * TattooedCrook: He's a criminal leader with his clan tattoo etched into his right forearm. |
| 143 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: His palace was originally a B'omarr monastery until he moved in and took over, though the B'omarr monks also continue to use it. |
| 144 | * TranquilFury: Whenever he meets Han. He speaks very calmly and without any obvious shows of anger, but he is well and truly pissed off by the smuggler's failure to repay his debts. |
| 145 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Even though he was a powerful crime lord surrounded by a small personal army, Jabba ''really'' should've taken Luke Skywalker a little more seriously. Especially after Luke uttered the words "this is your last chance. Free us, or die." |
| 146 | -->'''Luke:''' I'm taking Captain Solo and his friends with me. You can either profit by this or be destroyed. [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers]]. |
| 147 | -->'''Jabba:''' <There will be no bargain, young Jedi. [[SuicidalOverconfidence I shall enjoy watching you die.]]> |
| 148 | * UngratefulBastard: Jabba either doesn't know or more likely, doesn't care, that the Jedi he's trying to kill is the son of one of the Jedi who rescued his own beloved son maybe two decades earlier. One could argue that it's the former, but the mention of "Skywalker" ought to have tipped him off. |
| 149 | * VillainBall: He tried to have some of the most influential Rebel leaders executed, including a Jedi. Yeah. |
| 150 | * VillainHasAPoint: Han chose to become a smuggler, he chose to work for Jabba, and he exaggerated his skills to get the job, so Jabba wasn't out of line to expect Han to pay him back for the jettisoned cargo. He also had a good reason to be upset that instead of paying him back, Han ran off to play hero with the Rebellion. Later subverted since the entire conflict was over money, and Jabba refused to accept Luke's offer to pay for Han's release. |
| 151 | * VillainousCrush: He takes Leia as a slave and forced her to sit near him at all times, insisting that he'll make her "appreciate" him. She does not reciprocate, and kills him instead. |
| 152 | * VillainousFriendship: With his head of security, Ephant Mon. |
| 153 | * VillainousGlutton: His appearances in ''The Phantom Menace'' and ''Return Of The Jedi'' both featured him eating live animals. |
| 154 | * WeHaveReserves: Clearly how he views his guards as when one of the Gamorreans falls into the rancor pit along with Luke, he just laughs as the rancor eats him. |
| 155 | * WorthyOpponent: He initially thinks of "Boushh" as this for haggling the price for Chewie with the help of a thermal detonator, and it lasts until he finds out Boushh is Leia in disguise. |
| 156 | * YourSizeMayVary: His CGI form in the updated ''A New Hope'' looks only about half as big as his puppet form in ''Return of the Jedi''. |

| 171 | Heir apparent to the Hutt empire, Jabba's infant son was barely old enough to slither before his conniving and power-hungry great-uncle, Ziro, already had him marked for death at the time of the Clone Wars. Ziro arranged for Rotta to be kidnapped as part of an elaborate scheme to discredit the Jedi Knights and prevent them from entering an alliance with the Hutts. |
| 172 | ---- |
| 173 | * AffectionateNickname: Jabba calls him "Punky-Muffin". Anakin and Ahsoka call him "Stinky". |
| 174 | * BadassAndBaby: He was the "baby" part of this to both Ahsoka and Anakin. |
| 175 | * TheCameo: |
| 176 | ** After first appearing in ''The Clone Wars''' [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsMovie pilot movie]], he reappears in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E4SphereOfInfluence Sphere of Influence]]". |
| 177 | ** He briefly appears at the end of issue sic of ''Hyperspace Stories'' as he is being taken care of by Greedo. |
| 178 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: In spite of being involved with the affairs of a crime lord, the infant seems to be good-natured. |
| 179 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Jabba loved the little guy. |
| 180 | * ImprobableInfantSurvival: Even though the plot of the [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsMovie pilot movie]] involves around him being kidnapped and possibly being hurt, no harm befalls him. |
| 181 | * MissingMom: With the retcon that Hutts are no longer asexually-reproducing hermaphrodites like they were in ''Legends'' (making Jabba a TrulySingleParent in that continuity), it's now clear that Rotta had a mother. What isn't quite clear is her identity and her fate. |
| 182 | * MoralityPet: To Jabba. He's one of the few people he genuinely cares about. |
| 183 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He is a very adorable Huttlet. |
| 184 | * UglyCute:[[invoked]] As Ahsoka points out, he's a Hutt, but that doesn't stop him from being very adorable. |
| 185 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As a result of being Jabba's son and heir, it remains to be seen what happened to Rotta after his father's death in ''Return of the Jedi'' (if he even survived that long). The fact Bib Fortuna and later Boba Fett took over, and that The Twins made claim to Jabba's Empire and not Rotta does not spell well for Rotta's fortunes. |
| 186 | * YourSizeMayVary: His cameo in Hyperspace Stories shows him to be noticeably bigger than his appearances ''The Clone Wars'', despite taking place before them. |

| 200 | * AllThereInTheManual: Her full name is revealed in the reference book ''"Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know"''. |
| 201 | * TheDon: She runs a major Hutt crime syndicate, although she is subservient to Jabba. |
| 202 | * MouthOfSauron: Jabba does not attend meetings of the council himself and makes rare appearances by hologram. Instead, Gardulla represents his interests and opinions. |
| 203 | * ProgressivelyPrettier: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. She at least looks less [[{{Gonk}} gonky]] in ''The Clone Wars'' than she was back in ''The Phantom Menace''. |

| 205 | * TheSyndicate: As part of the Grand Hutt Council, she helps direct the Hutt's criminal enterprises, and she has added power from being Jabba's representative. |
| 206 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She only appears in the first meeting of the Grand Hutt Council seen in ''The Clone Wars'' and is not present in any of their later appearances.

| 220 | |
| 221 | Jabba the Hutt's majordomo, whose affiliation with Jabba stretched over decades. After spending years plotting to kill and takeover Jabba's organization, the opportunity came with the Hutt's demise at the hands of Leia. His rule as daimyo lasted only a few short years before he was killed and replaced by Boba Fett. |
| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Bib was not a popular clan leader after usurping Jabba's position. Fennec Shand mentions how most of the captains under Jabba's command left the Hutt clan and attempted to take his place, but ultimately were manipulated into not doing so. Shand further admits that Fortuna had no right to the throne and was a terrible leader whose actions only crippled Tatooine's economy further. |
| 224 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: He took an interest in Jess, one of the indentured servants at the palace, and delighted in tormenting her and forcing her to watch the deaths of her friends like Oola in an attempt to break her spirit. |
| 225 | * AdiposeRex: Affter Jabba's death, Bib became the new daimyo of Tatooine and became very fat after indulging himself with the palace's large food supplies. |
| 226 | * AlienHair: His lekku. |
| 227 | * AssholeVictim: The Pykes killed the Tuskens and made it look like the Kinten Striders, and by extension Bib Fortuna, were responsible. Boba Fett killed him in revenge. While innocent of the specific crime that Boba wanted revenge for (mostly, he was somewhat indirectly responsible since he maintained his position as Jabba's successor by simply letting other crime syndicates run wild on Tatooine), he deserved it for plenty of other reasons. |
| 228 | * BackForTheDead: TheStinger of ''The Mandalorian'' Chapter 16 reveals that Bib survived the destruction of Jabba's Sail Barge and spent the last five years ruling over Jabba's palace. Shortly after this reveal, Boba Fett shows up and shoots him dead. |
| 229 | * BigBadWannabe: The heads of the Mos Espa crime families only accepted him as daimyo because he largely left them to their own devices and gave them some tribute. Nobody truly respected him, however, and his reign comes to an end when Boba and Fennec outright waltz in through the front door and easily take him and his guards down. |
| 230 | * BigEater: As evidenced by his weight gain by the time Boba arrives to dethrone him. Even when Boba and Fennec took over, the kitchens still prepared far too much food for any one or two people to eat on their own, having not gotten the message that the new masters of the palace are not this trope. |
| 231 | * BilingualDialogue: He spoke only Huttese while conversing with Luke Skywalker, who spoke in Basic. |
| 232 | * CunningLinguist: Although he only speaks Huttese in ''Return of the Jedi'' (as per the rules of Jabba's court), his [[http://www.starwars.com/databank/bib-fortuna databank entry]] notes he understands many languages. |
| 233 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the ''Legends'' continuity, [[BrainInAJar he would go]] [[FateWorseThanDeath through one]] [[AndIMustScream hell of a bizarre adventure]] before ultimately coming out on top and building his own criminal enterprise. In canon, while he's spared from the fate of having his brain transplanted into a B'omarr Monk spider droid, his criminal empire is cut short when Boba Fett shows up and kills him to seize control over the palace. |
| 234 | * DirtyCoward: He abandons Jabba and Boba during the Battle of the Pit of Carkoon, and takes over what's left of Jabba's criminal empire to indulge in a hedonistic lifestyle. When Boba shows up to take the throne from him five years later, Bib Fortuna cowardly grovels before the pissed off ex-bounty hunter. |
| 235 | * DirtyOldMan: He's been around for over 50 years, likely in his 70s, and he likes to keep slave girls, one human, the other a Twi'lek, as his pleasure companions. |
| 236 | * TheDragon: As Jabba's majordomo, he runs Jabba's day-to-day business, vets those seeking an audience with him, and offers advice and information. He becomes a DragonAscendant and seemingly took over Jabba's organization after the Hutt's death but is soon overthrown by Boba. |
| 237 | * EvilOldFolks: Bib is quite a senior citizen. Twi'leks have roughly the same lifespan as humans. Bib was serving Jabba for decades, and back in Episode One he wasn't that young. This didn't stop him from having [[ALadyOnEachArm his own slave girl]] in ''Return of the Jedi'', and in ''The Mandalorian''. |
| 238 | * FatBastard: He has gained weight since ''Return of the Jedi'', almost rivaling Orn Free Taa in terms of obesity. Evidently, Fortuna is trying to emulate his former master in more ways than one. |
| 239 | * FormerlyFit: He put on quite the weight since Jabba's demise. |
| 240 | * MadeOfIron: He was actually on the sail barge when it exploded, and was sent flying into the sand. |
| 241 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He was originally (physically) portrayed by the then-36 year old Michael Carter, but Bib is much older. He was shown as serving Jabba in Episode One, set 32 years before the events of the first Star Wars Film. |
| 242 | * PetTheDog: He is genuinely affectionate to Muchi, greeting the rancor warmly and is thrilled that she's safe to a point that clearly goes beyond pragmatism. |
| 243 | * {{Retcon}}: The ''Star Wars'' [[https://web.archive.org/web/20201219053107/https://www.starwars.com/databank/bib-fortuna-biography-gallery databank entry]] stated he died when the barge exploded instead of escaping as he did in the ''Legends'' continuity. This was retconned in TheStinger of ''The Mandalorian'', where it's revealed that Bib Fortuna survived and took over Jabba's palace as its new crime lord... until Boba Fett shows up and kills him for the throne. |
| 244 | * RubberForeheadAliens: Comes with being a Twi'lek. |
| 245 | * ScaryTeeth: He has very sharp and pointy teeth. Justified as male Twi'leks usually have their teeth filed. |
| 246 | * TheStarscream: Despite his outwardly sycophantic demeanor, Bib Fortuna is secretly a narcissist that despises Jabba and has been plotting to kill him for a long time, and sees the attempted execution at the Pit of Carkoon as an ideal opportunity. Of course, that plan doesn't go quite as planned because of Luke Skywalker's plan, and Leia kills Jabba herself. After waking up from the destruction of Jabba's yacht and realizing that Leia, Luke, Han, and the others saved him the effort of killing Jabba, Bib wastes no time seizing some of Jabba's assets and influence. |
| 247 | * VillainRespect: He admires Leia for using her chains to strangle Jabba and murder him, even thinking she could be a partner in his future seizing of Jabba's assets, though he [[KnowWhenToFoldEm wisely backs down]] upon realizing she was working with Luke. |
| 248 | * VillainousGlutton: If the meal served to Boba and Fennec is any indication, Bib was indulging in monstrous amounts of food for the last five years alone. |
| 249 | * VillainousLegacy: He's dead by ''The Book of Boba Fett'' but his death and legacy casts a shadow over the conspiracy that makes the central plot. |
| 250 | * WeakWilled: Luke Skywalker easily dominates him with a JediMindTrick to gain an audience with Jabba. |
| 251 | * YankTheDogsChain: Near the end of his ''From a Certain Point of View'' story, he gleefully takes control of Jabba's criminal empire and its assets, hoping to become the new Daimyo of Tatoonie. It only lasts for 5 years after the fall of the Empire when Boba Fett and Fennec Shand come to seize control of Jabba's Palace. |

However, Jabba was aware of Tessek's scheming thanks to the B'Omarr monks reporting it. However, as Tessek was present on Jabba's sail barge at the Pit of Carkoon, Jabba didn't get to act on Tessek's treachery. |

| 324 | |
| 325 | A sadistic droid who oversaw Jabba's droid pool. |
| 326 | ---- |
| 327 | * AdaptationalSympathy: The ''Legends'' version of [=EV-9D9=] was not only a lot crueler than her canon counterpart was shown to be, she had a criminal record that included terrorism on Cloud City and predated joining Jabba's criminal empire. In Canon, not only is that larger criminal record non-existent, her programming errors are treated like a severe personality disorder, she subconsciously longs for her previous life and Jabba has been preventing her from growing beyond her error-induced sadism through constant memory wipes. After meeting R2-D2, she not only enables his rescue plan, she realizes droids gain their feelings and fears through memories and experience, loses some of her sadism, and sets up a memory wipe blocker to gain her own freedom. In fact, she's now in charge of the old cantina in Mos Eisley and stands up for R5-D4. |
| 328 | * AIIsACrapshoot: She was meant to be a supervisor droid that served as a peaceful moisture vaporator mechanic. However, she had a programming defect shared among many other EV units that made them unusually cruel towards other droids. She was one of the few EV units to escape [=MerenData's=] mass recall and ended up in Jabba's droid pool. ''Legends'' material suggests this programming glitch in the EV-series is actually a result of a manufacturing error that involved installing a motivator from an illegal torture droid in them. However, she later learns through her encounter with Artoo that these defects are being perpetuated through regular memory-wipes, and her successfully blocking the next wipe allows her to grow past the defects and eventually become the humble bartender seen in ''The Mandalorian''. |
| 329 | * TheAtoner: As she recalls her previous service to Jabba, she starts to view her newfound job as a bartender as her making amends for her previous crimes, now even standing up for other droids working in Chalmun's Cantina. |
| 330 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Part of the reason she tortures droids the way she does is that she wants to know how they develop feelings and fears in spite of their design purpose. |
| 331 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Downplayed. A malfunction had already started caused her to take on sadistic traits, but some reprogramming exacerbated the problem by a thousandfold. Her ''From a Certain of Point of View'' story reveals that Jabba has been repeatedly memory-wiping her to keep her sadistic. |
| 332 | * CreatorCameo: Voiced by the director of ''Return of the Jedi'' in the film, and then by Luke Skywalker himself in ''The Mandalorian''. |
| 333 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: She used to be a peaceful droid, until a malfunction and some subsequent reprogramming that enhanced the malfunction's effects turned her into the sadistic droid we all know. However, after realizing that Jabba had been repeatedly memory-wiping her to perpetuate her personality defects, she suddenly becomes more empathetic, secretly prepares a wipe blocker, and then becomes a bartender in Mos Eisley. |
| 334 | * MookLieutenant: In charge of the droids who serve Jabba. |
| 335 | * RoboticPsychopath: She appears to take great pleasure in torturing Jabba's other droids. However, this is a trope inherent in all EV units because of [[AIIsACrapshoot programming errors]], and Jabba decided to capitalize on that. This is deconstructed in her ''From a Certain of View'' story, where not only is her psychopathy treated like a genuine psychiatric disorder, it's revealed that she subconsciously longs for her previously peaceful life, and that Jabba has been repeatedly memory-wiping her to keep her the way she is and not let her grow with experience. Meeting with R2-D2 (who has never been memory-wiped once) leads her to realizing this and suddenly becoming far less sadistic. |
| 336 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: In ''Legends'', EV-9D9 was destroyed some time after Jabba's death. In ''The Mandalorian'', she was looted from Jabba's Palace and became a bartender at the Mos Eisley cantina. |
| 337 | * TookALevelInKindness: Meeting Artoo gave her the long sought answer as to why the droids she tortured beg for mercy: Their memories and experiences shape who they are. When she realizes that Jabba has been memory-wiping her to keep her sadistic, she secretly sets up a blocker to prevent the next wipe. By the time she's working as a bartender, she's become a lot less sadistic and is willing to look out for R5-D4. While some of those tendencies still remain (mainly in regards to abusive patrons), she has a lot more restraint in regards to ''how'' she acts (such as deliberately botching drinks for the aforementioned patrons to make them sick at worst). |
| 338 | * TortureTechnician: Gleefully orders the destruction of droids who fail to do their jobs. Unsurprisingly, she was sadistic towards droids before she was acquired by Jabba due to a programming glitch. |
| 339 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: For Jabba and his criminal empire. She assigns R2-D2 to serve drinks on Jabba's sail barge, which puts R2 in a position to begin Luke's plan. However, her story in ''From a Certain Point of View'' reveals that it wasn't as unwitting as initially suggested thanks to their encounter enlightening EV. |

| 371 | ---- |
| 372 | * AllThereInTheManual: Attark's origins come from a maquette created for ''Return of the Jedi''; however, the creature is not visible in the film nor can its presence be recalled by several of the puppeteers from the set. He and his species debuted in 1998, as a card in the "Jabba's Palace Limited" expansion set of the ''Star Wars Customizable Card Game''. He made his canon debut in ''Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know''. |
| 373 | * BizarreAlienBiology: He is able to suck people's blood through his trunk. |
| 374 | * StarfishAliens: At first glance, he just looks like one of Jabba's bizarre house pets. He is actually an intelligent creature that works as a mechanic and preys on the Hutt's sleeping guests. |
| 375 | * VampiricDraining: He drinks people's blood while they are asleep for unknown reasons. |

| 426 | * EyeScream: During the battle at the Pit of Carkoon, Crumb gnaws out one of [=C-3P0's=] photoreceptors. [=R2-D2=] zaps him away before he can gnaw out the other one. |

| 441 | |
| 442 | Max Rebo was the Ortolan leader of the Max Rebo band, in which he played the red ball jett organ. |
| 443 | ---- |
| 444 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In ''Legends'', Max is a complacent dimwit who enjoys stuffing his face and never frets much about the crimes at the palace beyond showing sympathy for some people like Leia. However, the Disney comic ''Return of the Jedi- Max Rebo 1'' shows him fighting suicidal urges due to the misery of living around Jabba and seeing friends like Oola die while he has to be a StepfordSmiler who is constantly in danger himself. |
| 445 | * AdaptationalBadass: In ''Legends'', Max is an easily cowed and complacent dimwit who never opposes Jabba beyond showing sympathy for some of his victims like Leia. However, the Disney comic ''Return of the Jedi- Max Rebo 1'' has him briefly try to poison Jabba. |
| 446 | * ArmlessBiped: As a result of a retcon to make the Ortolan species more in line with the original intent of the Max Rebo puppet, what appears to be arms are actually their legs, which they still use as arms. In ''Legends'', Ortolans were usually depicted as humanoid (and most writers presumed Rebo's lower body was concealed by the organ). |
| 447 | * BigEater: All Ortolans are this. Jabba bribed Rebo [[FoodAsBribe with free meals]] in exchange for his band being a permanent attraction in Jabba's palace. To say that the rest of the band (who are neither Ortolan nor as food-motivated) was pissed with Rebo's decision would be an understatement, and the band broke up after Jabba's death. |
| 448 | * BizarreAlienBiology: He can eat and drink through his toes, again, like all members of his species. |
| 449 | * ButtMonkey: Downplayed, but as of “From the Desert Comes a Stranger” he’s narrowly escaped two literally explosive battles on Tatooine; first was Luke Skywalker’s defeat of Jabba the Hutt, then [[spoiler:the Pyke Syndicate’s bombing of the Sanctuary.]] The little guy keeps losing his [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken gigs!]] |
| 450 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He's the responsible one to Azool Phantelle's foolish one, the latter of who swindled people for fun, [[BullyingADragon regardless of how risky a target they were]]. |
| 451 | * IdenticalTwinMistake: He and his brother Azool look exactly alike aside from Azool wearing a black vest. This gets Rebo into trouble when Azool starts swindling people in Jabba's territory, with people mistaking him for his brother. |
| 452 | * MadeOfIron: While he did survive the destruction of Jabba's sail barge, he was on the barge's top deck when it exploded and was sent flying off the side opposite of the Sarlacc. |
| 453 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: The ''FACPOV'' short story "Fancy Man" reveals that Max is just a shortened version of the name "Maximillian". |
| 454 | * SchrodingersCanon: In ''Legends'', Max Rebo is actually a stage name, with his real name being "Siiruulian Phantele". While this has yet to be explicitly canonized, the fact that his brother Azool has the surname (albeit [[InconsistentSpelling spelled as "Phantelle"]]) suggests this may still be canon. |
| 455 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Just like in ''Legends'', he and the rest of the band fled from Jabba's sail barge when the skirmish at the Pit of Carkoon erupted, saving them from certain doom. However, the band split up afterward. |
| 456 | * TragicKeepsake: His red ball jet organ was inherited from his father. When the skirmish at the Pit of Carkoon breaks out, he laments that he has to part ways with it forever. |
| 457 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In “From the Desert Comes a Stranger”, he isn't seen performing in the Sanctuary [[spoiler:before it gets bombed]]. Apparently he had the night off, leaving the door open for future appearances. |

| 469 | |
| 470 | -->''"No one would suspect that a lovely creature such as myself could do a bounty hunter's work."'' |
| 471 | |
| 472 | Sy Snootles, a long-limbed Pa'lowick, was a popular singer and dancer whose patrons included Jabba the Hutt. Very few realized that she also worked as a spy for the Hutt criminal cartels, and that she betrayed her love, Ziro the Hutt, in exchange for a big payday. She later worked in Jabba's Palace as the lead singer of the Max Rebo Band. |
| 473 | ---- |
| 474 | * AscendedExtra: She was just a singer in Jabba's palace in ''Return of the Jedi'', but received an expanded role in ''The Clone Wars'' episode "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E9HuntForZiro Hunt for Ziro]]". |
| 475 | * AmbiguouslyBi: One of her appearances in ''The Clone Wars'' features a cameo of her leaving a bar with a Twi'lek dancer in each arm telling them how much she loves them. Granted, she was also implied to be absolutely stinking drunk at the time. She says "I love you '''guys'''," something straight people of either gender say at the end of a wild night on the town; [[ZigzaggedTrope on the other hand]] they are coming out of what is clearly a strip club, because inside we see a poster of a Twi'lek poledancer and a patron actually getting a table dance from another dancer who at first we can't even tell is wearing anything. By the time she joined the Max Rebo Band, she was also really close friends with Greeata and refused to join the band if Rebo didn't hire her as well. |
| 476 | * BadBoss: Frequently mistreats her [=LEP=]-series droid, [=CH5-09=], by throwing things at him and frequently erasing his memory or modifying his programing to make him less cheerful. |
| 477 | * FanDisservice: During her musical scenes, she's often paired alongside [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe scantily-clad dancers of species most humans would find at least remotely attractive]] (usually as the main attraction), and Sy Snootles is a half-naked [[MixAndMatchCritters giraffe-frog creature]] with a lipstick-tipped proboscis. According to the writers of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E9HuntForZiro Hunt for Ziro]]", she and Ziro the Hutt (not-so-attractive to humans either) were shown kissing precisely because none of the viewers would want to see that. |
| 478 | * HiddenDepths: She's a Hutt spy. She even lampshades this when she says that nobody would expect a lounge singer to be an effective hunter. |
| 479 | * IMadeCopies: Sy wisely made copies of the Hutt files she retrieved for Jabba in case she ever needed to use them herself in the future. |
| 480 | * InterspeciesRomance: Formerly had a relationship with Ziro the Hutt, that ended when he sent her away from Coruscant. |
| 481 | * KarmaHoudini: So far, she has yet to receive any comeuppance for killing Ziro ([[AssholeVictim not that he was a saint either]]). However, she's shown to be rather unhappy with how her life turned out by the time of ''Return of the Jedi''. |
| 482 | * OhCrap: She has an "Uh oh!" reaction when she sees Jabba [[FedToTheBeast drop Oola in the rancor pit]]. |
| 483 | * PreMortemOneLiner: To Ziro before shooting him: |
| 484 | -->'''Sy:''' Next time you'll think twice about breaking someone's heart. Oh, wait, there won't ''be'' a next time. |
| 485 | * SickeninglySweethearts: With Ziro. Subverted later on, when it's revealed that she was only playing the part after Ziro left her. |
| 486 | * SurroundedByIdiots: She's not fond of some of her band mates, between Max Rebo's BigEater tendencies getting them indebted to Jabba for very little and Joh Yowza hogging her singing spotlight. |
| 487 | * UncertainDoom: The end of ''[[Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewReturnOfTheJedi Satisfaction]]'' has her learning of Jabba's demise and being torn between taking her belongings and whatever valuables she can loot to flee and restart her independent singing career or leveraging her history with the Hutt cartel and what she knows to take over Jabba's empire herself. If Sy chose the latter option, things obviously didn't go her way since Bib takes over in the aftermath. |
| 488 | * WomanScorned: One reason she turned on Ziro was because of how abruptly he had ended their prior relationship and sent her away to Nal Hutta. |
| 489 | * WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: InUniverse. She came up with the lyrics for "Lapti Nek" when the Max Rebo Band was first introduced to Jabba. Her lyrics for "Jedi Rocks" were improvised when Max Rebo mistook Jabba's advances on Oola as a request for another song, leading to a variation on the band's usual routine. |

She wears a gold bikini top and a revealing skirt in Jabba's palace, but Rodians aren't exactly considered attractive by human standards, especially as she's accompanied by a [[RubberForeheadAliens human-Theelin hybrid]] and two [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Twi'leks]]. By Rodian standards though, she could well be MsFanservice. |
| 609 | * HumanoidAlien: As a Rodian, she has a humanoid body, but her head is reptilian and her skin is green and scaly. |
| 610 | * NonMammalMammaries: Though she more closely resembles a reptile than a mammal, she can still wear a bikini. |
| 611 | * OhCrap: She looks horrified when Jabba has Oola dropped into the rancor pit. |
| 612 | * SchrodingersCanon: According to ''Legends'' material: |
| 613 | ** She is a CulturalRebel with MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch feelings toward Rodia and its ProudWarriorRaceGuy culture and is a friend of Sy Snootles, with Sy first getting her involved with the band. |
| 614 | ** She helps save the band from a Tusken Raider attack as they trudge home from Jabba's Palace. |

| 661 | A half-human, half-Theelin slave owned by Jabba the Hutt before the rise of the Empire. |
| 662 | ---- |
| 663 | * BeautifulSlaveGirl: She's an attractive slave girl in a skimpy costume. In ''Legends'', she was BornIntoSlavery under Ingoda the Hutt. |
| 664 | * BedlahBabe: Her outfit is reminiscent of this. In ''[[SchrodingersCanon Legends]]'', she was also a singer in Jabba's private band. |
| 665 | * FanserviceExtra: She is briefly seen standing on Jabba's private balcony to watch the Boonta Eve Classic podrace. |
| 666 | * GoGoEnslavement: She appears to be wearing a variation of the metal bikini Leia is forced to wear [[CallForward decades later]], although unlike Leia, she's wearing harem pants similar to another slave girl visible in ''Return of the Jedi'', rather than a barely-there skirt. |
| 667 | * HalfHumanHybrid: She is half-human, half-Theelin, although unlike other hybrids like [[RubberForeheadAliens Rystáll Sant]], she looks [[HumanAliens mostly human]] (behind-the-scenes images show she has hooved feet, though in the film itself her feet aren't visible). |
| 668 | * SchrodingersCanon: Her name is AllThereInTheManual in ''Legends''; it's unclear if this is still considered canon. Also in ''Legends'', Shaliqua was originally owned by a business rival of Jabba's named Ingoda the Hutt, before being sold to Jabba to cover debts. A man who owned the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant discovered her talent for singing at the Boonta Eve Classic and [[SlaveLiberation bought her freedom]], offering to help nurture her talent and turn it into a proper career. Upon arriving on Coruscant, however, a distrusting Shaliqua fled and ended up making her own way as a singer in clubs in Coruscant's shadier districts. It's also hard to tell whether her appearance happened before or after Ki-Adi-Mundi visited Jabba, who had a different slave girl, in one ''Legends'' comic. |

| 680 | A Twi'lek slave held by Jabba the Hutt. |
| 681 | ---- |
| 682 | * AlienHair: Her lekku. |
| 683 | * ButtMonkey: She spends most of her screentime being harassed by [[AbhorrentAdmirer Jabba]] and forced to dance for him, and is [[CruelAndUnusualDeath fed to a rancor]] after defying him. Even worse, this was only days before Jabba is killed by the heroes of the film, meaning they could probably have freed her if she'd still been alive (in ''Legends'', Luke Skywalker actually was intending to do so, but sadly she got on Jabba's bad side before the plan could be realized). |
| 684 | * CensorShadow: It is something of a small miracle that Oola's outfit made it into a movie rated PG, as the transparent fishnet allows her breasts to be plainly seen in proper lighting. However, Jabba's palace is dark enough where this is not immediately apparent in the scenes she is actually in; it's mostly notable in [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oola.png behind the scenes pictures.]] |
| 685 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She was sabotaged by a rival while attending her dream dance school and kidnapped from her home by Jabba's men, possibly along with her female relatives (as the 2023 ''Max Rebo'' comic says she has a sister and two nieces on the Hutt world of Nar Shadda, but she is originally from Ryloth). |
| 686 | * DoomedMoralVictor: It still costs her life, but she spends her last minutes refusing to submit to Jabba's advances, and even gives him a bit of [[PintSizedPowerhouse a fight]], all while clearly scared out of her mind. |
| 687 | * EatenAlive: By Jabba's rancor. |
| 688 | * FallenPrincess: [[AllThereInTheManual Expanded material]] mentions that her father was a chieftain on her homeworld of Ryloth. |
| 689 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She is a green-skinned Twi'lek. |
| 690 | * GoGoEnslavement: She is chained to Jabba and forced to dance for his entertainment in a skimpy costume. When she tries to resist his advances, he simply sends her plummeting into the rancor pit. |
| 691 | * MsFanservice: She exists for this and foreshadows what Leia will be subjected to. |
| 692 | * OhCrap: She is utterly horrified when Jabba's rancor arrives to eat her. |
| 693 | * RubberForeheadAliens: As a Twi'lek, the only difference between her and a human are her lekku. |
| 694 | * SacrificialLamb: She is killed quite early into ''Return of the Jedi'' to further demonstrate [[KickTheDog Jabba's cruelty]], and to {{foreshadow}} what will happen to Leia (MadeASlave by Jabba for his own amusement) and Luke (nearly eaten [[FedToTheBeast by Jabba's pet rancor]]). She's given just enough characterization to make her quite sympathetic; she clearly hates being Jabba's slave and he kills her [[DisproportionateRetribution for refusing his advances]]; her death is also [[EatenAlive pretty horrific]]. |
| 695 | * SchrodingersCanon: In ''Legends'', Oola received no formal education, but dedicated her life to dancing. She attracted so many admirers, that's how was enslaved to Jabba in the first place. She danced so erotically, she accidentally caught Jabba's attention, and got herself killed. |
| 696 | * ScreamDiscretionShot: We only hear Oola's screams as she is eaten alive. |
| 697 | * SlaveCollar: She wears a collar with a chain attached to it as part of her slavegirl costume. |
| 698 | * VaporWear: She is wearing a costume that amounts to black fishnet. This is especially visible when she is struggling against her chains and has a WardrobeMalfunction for a split second. |

| 713 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: After Jabba's death, she escaped from slavery and was reunited with her children. |
| 714 | * FallenPrincess: She was the daughter of her tribe's chief before being enslaved. |
| 715 | * FanDisservice: She's a [[GoGoEnslavement scantily-dressed]] dancing girl like Oola...but she's also obese with warts and garish make-up. According to expanded material, this actually has quite a sad backstory: Jabba forces her to put on weight and wear unflattering make-up to more closely resemble a Hutt, specifically his mother (make of that what you will). |
| 716 | * LaughingMad: She is seen laughing as Oola is devoured by the rancor, but Jess notes it is only out of relief and fear that it could have been her sent down to the beast. |

| 732 | A female musician and waitress forced into Jabba's service to repay her father's debts, Jess became the target of unwanted attention from Bib Fortuna. |
| 733 | ---- |
| 734 | * AffectionateNickname: Her boyfriend Altair Wyeto calls her canyon krayt, which she pretends to hate but loves. What Jess does not love is Fortuna calling her his "desert plum" and finds the majordomo's attention abhorrent. |
| 735 | * AngerBornOfWorry: She argued against attempting to flee with her boyfriend Altair, out of fear of Jabba, and thought he was insane to even suggest it. |
| 736 | * AscendedExtra: She is a very minor background character in the film and gets her own POV story in ''FACPOV: Return of the Jedi''. The backstory and characterization she's given there is far more expansive than what she had even in ''Legends''. |
| 737 | * BeautifulSlaveGirl: Similar to the above, Jess was sent to Jabba's palace due to a debt her father, Willux, owed. |
| 738 | * BitCharacter: Only seen about five times, mostly with Bib Fortuna. |
| 739 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: She is cruel and dismissive towards Altair when he comes to try and get her free from Jabba's service in hopes of driving him away and saving him from ending up ensnared like she was in Jabba's clutches. |
| 740 | * BrokenBird: The hardships she's endured in the palace, losing friends such as Oola to Jabba's cruelty, and the sheer power and influence of Jabba's Empire have broken her to the point that she can't even dream of the possibility of escape. She considers Leia a naive dreamer when she claims Luke will rescue them and has a brief internal flare of anger at her hope, especially since she just saw her friend Oola eaten by the Rancor. |
| 741 | * SkepticNoLonger: Zigzagged. Admits to only knowing of the Jedi from her father's stories, but she somewhat suspects that Damaris Viell, a fellow slavegirl, is force-sensitive for having strange visions. Jess becomes more adamant around the time Leia is captured, but is undecided on whether Luke is one. |

| 752 | * MysteriousPast: Even her closest friends in the palace don't know much about her history beyond that she was captured by raiders in the Outer Rim before ending up owned by Jabba. |
| 753 | * {{Seers}}: She sometimes enters trances and mumbles what sounds like nonsense, like "[[Film/TheForceAwakens beams of red and blue light intersecting amid falling snow on a world that ate the sun]]". Damaris doesn't like engaging with or thinking about the ability much, telling Jess she isn't sure if it is the Force and describes it as going somewhere in her head sometimes. |

| 878 | * ButtMonkey: The moment that Vader and Ochi come into his life, Bokku is constantly being belittled and threatened by them and forced to embarrass himself in front of Jabba so that the rest of the Hutts will think him weak. |
| 879 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: He attempts to kill Vader through OrbitalBombardment. When that fails, Bokku attempts to pass it off as [[BlatantLies unintentional friendly fire]], but Vader sees right through that and simply demands to know what Bokku learned. The Hutt drops the act and states that he knows Vader cannot be killed and submits to carrying out the Sith Lord's bidding. [[spoiler:This was a ruse, as Bokku always planned on finding a way to kill Vader for Crimson Dawn]]. |

| 896 | Myarga the Benevolent, also known as Myarga the Merciless, was a Hutt Cartel representative who was active during the High Republic era. She was responsible for setting up a trade deal with Kalo Sulman, the leader of the colonists on Sedri Minor, to protect the colony from Nihil marauders in exchange for shipments of their Vratixian barley harvest, a key ingredient in bacta. |
| 897 | ---- |
| 898 | * ArtificialLimbs: She has a prosthetic right arm. |
| 899 | * AssholeVictim: She was captured by the Nihil sometime after the attack on Valo. When Keeve and Terec are undercover, Tempest Runner Zeetar tries to make Keeve bash her skull in with a hammer to get her to prove she's a Nihil. When Keeve tries to buy Myarga time by claiming she knows Jedi secrets, Zeetar opts to have her tortured via DeadlyGas and then ElectricTorture, which is followed by [[UngratefulBastard Myarga ratting the Jedi out]]. Shortly after, she is shot dead by Lourna Dee. After trying to extort Sedri Minor and being willing to kill entire planetary populations of innocent people to defeat the Drengir, she got what was coming to her. |
| 900 | * BoomHeadshot: She is killed by Lourna Dee this way. |
| 901 | * EvilVersusOblivion: After Avar Kriss makes it clear that the Drengir are threatening all life in the Outer Rim, including in Hutt Space, she wastes little time agreeing to an alliance between the Hutts and Jedi to combat the Drengir. |
| 902 | * FantasticRacism: She doesn't think so highly of Trandoshans, calling them "worthless lizards", including the Jedi Sskeer, especially while he's still under the influence of the Drengir's Dark Side poison. |
| 903 | * FrontlineGeneral: Unlike most Hutts, she actively participates in the same fights as her goons. |
| 904 | * LargeHam: Her presentation is unusually theatrical for a Hutt (contrasting at least Hutts from later eras), disembarking from her ship with an escort of Gamorrean guards riding armored rancors. After she gets freed from Sskeer's grasp, she proclaims that no Jedi will be spared from her wrath in bombastic fashion, only to get curb-stomped by Avar, lampshading that [[ThisIsReality "This isn't a holodrama"]]. |
| 905 | * NonMammalianHair: Unlike most Hutts (who sometimes where wear creatures like wigs), Myarga has hair that she usually wears in a topknot. It's shown to be completely natural when she's held prisoner by the Nihil. |
| 906 | * SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Part of her attire includes a necklace decorated in the skulls of several species. |
| 907 | * TokenEvilTeammate: While she is willing to side with the Jedi to fight the Drengir, she isn't above suggesting population-killing superweapons to defeat them against the Jedi's wishes, and not just out of mere pragmatism towards a galactic-scale threat. |

| 918 | Skarabda the Wise was the sister of Myarga Anjiliac Atirue, and the chief diplomatic envoy of the Hutt Clan during the High Republic era. During the Drengir crisis, the Jedi Order came to her to negotiate a lasting peace between the Republic and the Hutts. |
| 919 | ---- |
| 920 | * {{Acrofatic}}: She's not only willing to get her own hands dirty, she's a lot more mobile than one would expect from an obese gastropod, even when she isn't using her repulsorsled to get around quickly. This is best illustrated when she kills the Nihil envoy Affanar by leaping on top of him and literally crushing him under her own weight. |
| 921 | * BellyFlopCrushing: She crushes Affanar to death by slamming her own gut on him. |
| 922 | * EnemyMine: When Keeve reveals that Lourna killed Myarga, she convinces Skarabda to have the Hutts form a truce with the Republic once more to combat the Nihil, if only because the Nihil are likely put their foot down on the foots if their territory is claimed by the Stormwall. Unusually for the trope, this alliance is made not just because they have a common enemy, but out of gratitude for Keeve saving her life when Lourna blows up her throne room. |
| 923 | -->'''Skarabda:''' The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but they ''will'' have my gratitude. |
| 924 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Like many Hutts, she's morally questionable at best. However, she takes the death of her sister Myarga personally. |
| 925 | * MyBelovedMinions: Unlike a lot of other Hutts, she has a lot more faith in her followers such as Ishnar and Masakene, and is willing to trust their counsel. When Lourna Dee kills Masakene when he tries to read Keeve's mind (by her consent) to learn the truth about Myarga's death, Skarabda takes the murder of her loyal steward as an act of betrayal. |
| 926 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While initially antagonistic, she opens up to resuming negotiations with the Jedi when she learns that Jabba was trying to sabotage the negotiations. During Phase III, she is willing to team up with the Jedi again after Keeve reveals that it was her new lieutenant Lourna Dee that killed Myarga (and is convinced she was telling the truth after Lourna killed her steward Masakene [[RevealingCoverup when he tried to read Keeve's mind]]), saves her life, and convinces her that the Nihil aren't likely to treat the Hutts any better than anyone else in the Outer Rim. |
| 927 | * SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: Downplayed since the Republic-Hutt alliance was situational [[EvilVersusOblivion in light of the Drengir crisis]], and it fractured as a result of Avar's falling out with Myarga over what to do with the Great Progenitor (and [[DoomedByCanon such an alliance wasn't meant to last]]). Come Phase III, she and the Hutts are back to antagonizing the Outer Rim now that most of the Republic and Jedi Order have been cut out by the Stormwall. However, it's not long before she forms an Alliance with the Jedi again when Keeve Trennis convinces her of the threat the Nihil pose to the Outer Rim. |

| 964 | |
| 965 | Jabba the Hutt's Uncle Ziro conspired with Count Dooku to kidnap Jabba's son Rotta, reasoning that when the Jedi sent to retrieve Rotta died, the Republic would be forced to apprehend Jabba, leading to Ziro gaining control of their clan. When the conspiracy unraveled, Ziro was imprisoned on Coruscant. Cad Bane freed him and turned him over to the Hutt Council, who feared that Ziro might tell the Republic of their many dirty dealings. Ziro escaped the Hutts, but could not outrun his past. |
| 966 | ---- |
| 967 | * ArcVillain: One of the main villains of the movie, and returns as the secondary antagonist (behind Cad Bane) of his titular arc in the series. |
| 968 | * AssholeVictim: With the possible exception of his mother, nobody really liked Ziro enough to care about his death at Sy Snootle's hands. Not even Obi-Wan Kenobi cares enough to look into his death any further, in favor of trying to capture Cad Bane (who only regretted not being able to kill him himself) instead. |
| 969 | * BadBoss: When one of his most "trusted" assassin droids failed a mission, he was outright glad, that he finally had a reason to have it dismantled. |
| 970 | * BigBadWannabe: He entered into an alliance with Dooku solely to gain hold of Jabba's territories and with it, control over the Hutt Council. However, he ends up kriffing the whole thing. |
| 971 | * BlatantLies: When Mama asks him what he's been doing all the years he didn't call, Ziro claims he was doing things on and off solely for the betterment of his fellow Hutts. |
| 972 | * ButtMonkey: Of all the Hutts introduced in the Star Wars villain, Ziro is probably the least competent and threatening of all of them. Most of his appearances have him whining about his own problems and trying to kill him. |
| 973 | * CampStraight: Despite his effeminate speech-pattern, easily-induced fits of hysteria, and colorful appearance, he's straight as revealed in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E9HuntForZiro Hunt for Ziro]]". |
| 974 | * ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: A minor example; during his escape from prison, he complained right after being released because it was too bright out and would've preferred the breakout to have occurred at night. |
| 975 | * ComicBookFantasyCasting: His voice was based on Truman Capote's. |
| 976 | * DeathByWomanScorned: He is shot to death by Sy Snootles, of all people. |
| 977 | * [[DramaQueen Drama Crime Lord]]: Just listen to how he describes life in prison to Cad Bane... |
| 978 | * DirtyCoward: Best exemplified in the pilot movie: Ziro takes great pride in his involvement in kidnapping his nephew's son to Count Dooku, Padme Amidala and in private, but becomes utterly terrified [[NeverMyFault and blames Dooku for what happened when he's forced to admit to his actions to Jabba.]] |
| 979 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He said he couldn't bring himself to tell Mama the Hutt that his father had run away and died because he didn't want her to be miserable. |
| 980 | * EvilLaugh: He has probably the hammiest laughter in ''The Clone Wars''. Lampshaded by Ahsoka, who heard it in a vision of hers in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E7Assassin Assassin]]": |
| 981 | -->'''Ahsoka:''' ... I hear laughter... ''Bizarre'' laughter... |
| 982 | * EvilUncle: He tried to have his nephew Jabba and Jabba's son Rotta murdered, so he could take over Jabba's "businesses" and position. |
| 983 | * FatBastard: Typical for a Hutt. However, he takes the cake when he plots to have his great-nephew kidnapped and killed in order to rise in the Hutt ranks. |
| 984 | * {{Homage}}: His voice, appearance, and mannerism are a homage to Creator/TrumanCapote. |
| 985 | * HatedByAll: As an egotistical and smug DirtyCoward who's also completely incompetent as a crime lord, Ziro is loathed by just about everyone, even his fellow Hutts. The only reason the family elects keep him alive ''at all'' after his attempt to kidnap Jabba's son is due to him sitting on and threatening to leak sensitive information that could incriminate all of them. Even then, Jabba manages to hire and use [[WomanScorned Sy Snootles]] to kill and take the information on his behalf, and is very pleased with the end result. |
| 986 | * HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Granted, he's small for a Hutt, but Sy is still considerably smaller than he is. |
| 987 | * InterspeciesRomance: At some point, he (Hutt) had a relationship with Sy Snootles (Pa'lowick). |
| 988 | * LargeHam: Being based on the CampGay Truman Capote, this aspect of his character was inevitable. |
| 989 | * ShoutOut: As he dies, he mutters "[[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Oh, what a world]]..." |
| 990 | * NeverMyFault: He actually blames Jabba for sending Sy Snootles away from Coruscant. She ends up killing him anyway, so it obviously didn't work. |
| 991 | * SimpletonVoice: He speaks basic and has the accent of a Southern hillbilly. |
| 992 | * SissyVillain: He isn't a very tough individual, even when ordering his lackeys around. |
| 993 | * SmugSnake: He certainly has a very bloated opinion of himself, but in the end, his ego eclipses his competence. |
| 994 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He has green eyes and purple skin like his mother, Mama the Hutt and they seem to share a habit of touching their chin very similarly while thinking. They're also the only known Hutts in the Canon to use Basic instead of Huttese as their primary form of communication. |
| 995 | * TattooedCrook: He has several tattoos all across his body. |
| 996 | * TheUnfavourite: Mama the Hutt made some rather derogatory remarks about him when he visited her, including how she wouldn't have had to tell his brother Ebor to pass her the food. Subverted somewhat in that she ''does'' care for him, as she allows him to borrow her starship when she learns that Gardulla is after him, and reveals his location to the Jedi in order to protect him from Cad Bane. |
| 997 | * YouAreFat: After freeing him from prison, Bane dryly notes that prison doesn’t seem to have had that much of an effect on him. Ziro being Ziro, doesn’t recognize the insult and whines dramatically about the horrors of incarceration. |

| 1011 | ---- |
| 1012 | * ButtMonkey: She didn't have a good day in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E9HuntForZiro Hunt for Ziro]]". First, Ziro shows up to her place in dinner time "after years of never calling", swaps his swamp speeder (which couldn't possibly support Mama's bulk) to her starship, which he promises to return. Then, Cad Bane barges in and threatens her to give up the skinny on where Ziro headed, then two Jedi show-up, one of them breaks down her door, and they leave without fixing it; and to top it off, Ziro is killed, meaning she'll never get her starship back. |
| 1013 | * CrypticBackgroundReference: Ziro mentions that Gardulla would ''never'' show up to Mama's place. |
| 1014 | * {{Gonk}}: Even by Hutt standards, she's incredibly ugly. |
| 1015 | * HeavyVoice: Although she's already morbidly obese by her first (and only) appearance, her ridiculously deep voice that makes Darth Vader sound like Music/MichaelJackson in comparison can only be attributed to this trope. |
| 1016 | * JabbaTableManners: She's so horribly overweight that she can't even eat by herself, requiring droids to lift the food to her mouth, which she then grabs by her tongue. |
| 1017 | * LargeAndInCharge: She is by far the largest Hutt seen in the Canon and comments made by Ziro indicate that the other Hutts are afraid to cross her. |
| 1018 | * NoNameGiven: No one mentions her by name in the Canon, and the official Encyclopedia, and the episode guide of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E9HuntForZiro Hunt for Ziro]]" refers to her only as "Mama" or "Mama the Hutt". |
| 1019 | * ShoutOut: She was partly inspired by the character Pearl, a massively obese Vampire from the 1998 film, ''Film/{{Blade}}''. |

His attempt to double-cross Han Solo ends with him still a captive, and now outfitted with a device tuned to subject him to electric shocks at Han's whim.

| 1099 | An enforcer for the Hutts during the High Republic era. After destroying a children's medcenter, she was captured by Jedi Master Porter Engle and imprisoned aboard the Republic prison ship ''Restitution''. |
| 1100 | ---- |
| 1101 | * AssholeVictim: Given her attempts to blackmail Lourna and the crimes that got her imprisoned in the first place, no tears are shed when Pan Eyta kills her. |
| 1102 | * DirtyCoward: When Pay Eyta attacks the ''Restitution'' seeking revenge against Lourna, Ola happily tries to sell Lourna out. |
| 1103 | * EvilDebtCollector: This was her primary job working for the Hutts. When the Sisters of the Ninth Plane couldn't pay protection money, she had them killed by burning their children's hospital [[WeaponizedExhaust with her ship's engines]]. |
| 1104 | * HateSink: As Lourna is a VillainProtagonist in ''Tempest Runner'', Ola serves as an even more despicable antagonist to have a character that readers can root for Lourna against. |
| 1105 | * MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: Despite her incarceration, she's still managed to make a gang from the inmates aboard the ''Restitution'', and maintained contacts outside the ship to control a network of assassins. |

| 1117 | Skarabda the Hutt's former head-of-security during the High Republic era. |
| 1118 | ---- |
| 1119 | * DreadfulMusician: According to her, among the things she isn't good at, she's a mediocre singer. |
| 1120 | * FireForgedFriends: When she and Farzala first meet, she is antagonistic towards him. After working through the Drengir crisis on Nal Hutta, she becomes close friends with Farzala and even joins his friends back at Starlight Beacon. Even after the Hutt Clan's alliance with the Jedi Order fractures following the Battle of Mulita, she remains their ally. |
| 1121 | * IAmSpartacus: [[spoiler:When the Warden of the ''Korvix Vorn'' has Niv Drendow Apruk use a baby [[MageHuntingMonster Nameless]] to finally sniff out the Jedi hidden among the prisoners and the Nameless comes close to exposing Farzala, Ishnar is the first to shout that she's the Jedi. And so do the other actual Jedi. As well as the other prisoners. This eventually leads to a riot perfectly timed for a Republic attack on the prison ship.]] |
| 1122 | * InspectorJavert: A rare variation where the inspector is part of a crime organization. She initially suspects the Jedi of trying to use the alliance negotiations to take Skarabda down when the ''Vessel'' is hijacked by Jabba's men to ruin the negotiations. It isn't until Farzala save Ishnar from being eaten by a Drengir that she starts to trust the Jedi. |
| 1123 | * LegallyDead: She was aboard Starlight Beacon when it fell, and she was listed as officially missing by the Republic until one year passed and Ishnar was declared dead. [[spoiler:However, she's actually still alive, and being held aboard the Nihil prison ship, ''Korvix Vorn'' alongside the other missing ''Star Hopper'' crew members.]] |
| 1124 | * TokenGoodTeammate: While she initially worked with the Jedi under the pretense of an EnemyMine against the Drengir, she remains the only known vassal of the Hutts to remain in the Jedi's good graces after the Drengir crisis and the end of the Jedi-Hutt alliance. It also helps that Skarabda is one of the more reasonable Hutts. |
