I do concur that Hutt may have been originally a title not a species name, as it would be like calling Vito Corleone Vito the Italian.
Where were you in '77?
Ziro is the abomination from Rebels.
I agree Jabba should be the only Hutt.
Hey! I liked Ziro. And unless he’s not dead, he only appeared in Clone Wars.
Hm, wow my memory is bad sometimes, seems you are right.
Maybe it’s just because I’m too young to remember a time before the conventions of the EU were well-established, but the idea that so many people seem to find the Hutts as a species controversial is kind of baffling to me. I always thought that the concepts of Hutt Space and Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa and all the feuding clans were some of the more solid stuff to come out of the extracinematic material.

I’m even younger, and I would probably agree if I had gotten into the EU sooner. Alas, jumping in to random books (after it’d all been Legend-ed anyway) like Planet of Twilight proved to be a fatal error as it gave me Beldorion the Dark Jedi Hutt (and a headache).
Anyway, I have no problem accepting Hutt as a species, but I take it in a Yoda way, in that I don’t know/care about the rest and they may as well not exist to me.
.
and worst of all, this guy from the old EU
I must be one of the few people alive on this Earth who actually likes ol’ Beldorion.
That is a shitty painting of him, though. He’s supposed to be muscular. And since when do Hutts have teeth?

Lost in the shadows, baby.
I haven’t had much to say about Star Wars lately. In general, I just feel less interested in all the goings-on around the franchise. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes.

It’s seasonal for me. As we near TLJ, I’ll gain interest, and then after seeing it a few times*, I’ll mostly move on and continue my adventures through other fictional universes to distract me from my growing fears about the future, the lack of fulfillment I feel from my normal life, and the feeling that my life is but an inexorable march into hell. Then the Blu-Ray will come out and I’ll try to have a big Star Wars marathon, and ultimately fail due to unforseen curcumstances, and then move to other things until the next movie**.
* Assuming I like TLJ
** Episode IX, as I have nothing more than slight curiosity about the apparently troubled Han Solo movie and don’t see that changing
.
For some reason I tend to get excited about Star Wars in late spring/early summer and early winter, when the new movies come out. Most of the rest of that time is dormant for me.
Depending on how things play out I might see TLJ for the first time with the home media copy.
Grakkus is proof the new canon is broken. IT WAS MEANT TO ELIMINATE THE CRAP, NOT ADD TO IT!
They really need to strip the license from Marvel and give it back to Dark Horse. =(

I don’t care about any of the official product, but I’m still hyped for ESB:Revisited.
And we’ll be getting it soon…

A building made with quality materials will still collapse if built atop a broken foundation.
I do concur that Hutt may have been originally a title not a species name, as it would be like calling Vito Corleone Vito the Italian.
Perhaps there are multiple famous characters named Jabba in the galaxy.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.
Episode 9 Rewrite, The Starlight Project (Released!) and ANH Technicolor Project (Released!)
Wasn’t Pizza a Hutt?

Sorry about the typo.

Like Ali Jaba, Kareem Abdul-Jabba, Jabba Jabba Binks, etc.
Am I the only one who reads the PT Appreciation Site when I get down about the lack of an OOT release? It makes me laugh.
It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher
That stuff just depresses me, thinking about the future of the franchise in their hands. You can already get a glimpse of what that’s like when reading the new Marvel comics.
Apples and oranges?

Just be like me and have no idea what you are talking about.
No more depression!
