How could he?
Apart from seeing Jabba in the first 1/3 of RotJ (oh, and that bullsh*t scene in the SW Special Edition), the Hutts play absolutely NO purpose to the story of the six SW films, so why would the reviewer (or for that matter, the majority of the audiences who saw these movies) have any knowledge of that "Hutt war" concept???I dont see how its hard to understand that it would cause a war with the people (or creatures) in power on Tatooine. I was about 9 when I first saw TPM (and had never seen a star wars film before) and I understood that concept perfectly.
The dialogue states clearly that Tatooine is run by the Hutts who are gangsters and that Tatooine isn't a member of the Republic.
What it doesn't explain is why the Jedi can't just do as they please anyway.
Their temple is on Coruscant, they have ties to the Senate and the Chancellor's office so it seems safe to assume they are a Republic based order and bound by it's laws as well as those of their order.
Making that clear in the crawl would remove that ambiquity.
Clearly when the Empire took over it also expanded to include Tatooine (which is why stormtroopers on the streets of Mos Eisley didn't provoke any local trouble) but back in the days of the Republic the Jedi didn't have jurisdiction.
This could lead people like Dooku into taking his own path due to frustration over what they couldn't do.
