Wouldn't it be funny if we all had something from that picture and we could assemble them together and then take a photo and send it back in time creating a ontological paradox that ripped the universe to shreds?

I wish I had the girl from the picture.

"The Hutts are gangsters!"
Time

So to sum it up:

 

CAPT. PANAKA said:

You can’t take Her Royal Highness there! The Hutts are gangsters… If they discovered her…

True.  The hutts are mafia-type crime lords who control spice smuggling much like the Al Capone style of gangster who smuggled the hooch and laundered money, extortion, etc.

It’s controlled by the Hutts… 

True, but only in the sense that the scum of the Trade Federation isn't there.  But the TF had legal agreements with system governments, where I don't think the Hutts did.  Aside from the Hutt planet (Nar Shadda? - It's been a long time since I've read any EU), I don't think there would be any Hutts in the Senate representing Tatooine.
