Anybody else think it’s dumb that Jabba is constantly referred to as “Jabba the Hutt” when Hutt is just the species he is? When I was a little kid, I thought “Hutt” must mean “mob boss” or something.

In old mythology sometimes people are referred to by their ethnicity if it’s foreign to the context the story is set in. I’m recalling a biblical character referred to as Jesham the Arab, for example.
