Darko posted:Speaking of which, what EU story explained why the Ewoks apparently had existing giant log traps all over the place? https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Gorax AndyElusive posted:Part of me was hoping instead of CGI Hutts the Twins would be enormous puppets like the original Jabba, which I love. But those days are long gone and the original Jabba was a complex character to physically represent for everyone involved. Can't imagine them having teams to puppet TWO of them. Same here, huge fan of actual puppet creatures. Then again, there was a reason that the original Jabba never moved from his throne, and if you want more mobility (and I really hope we're going to get a fight scene involving the Twins), you need to go CGI. kazmeyer posted:There's a toy Youtuber who's obsessed with Jabba and he just recently did a video where he had 3D printed a custom action figure of the Hutt where you could pull off his front and it revealed figures of the three puppeteers inside working the arms and the tail. It was actually kind of cool. I've been tempted to print these for a while now. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/star-wars-stl-jabba-the-hutt-pupett-team-obj-vintage-style-action-figure https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/como-se-hizo-jabba-el-hutt

I really liked the image of the two Hutts, there was something very menacing about the way they filled the street up.

The detail I liked most about the Hutts were that throughout their scene, the litter bearers would buckle under the weight every so often. It was a nice little touched that helped sell that the hutts weren't just a vfx inserted in post

So if the Twins are Jabba's cousins, what are the odds we get to see a live action version of their (presumed) parent Ziro? E: wait, forgot Ziro's dead. Flashback then Remalle fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Jan 7, 2022 |

Seriously though, where the hell is Rotta the Hutt? You'd think if anyone would have beef with people taking over his father's business, it'd be Jabba's offspring

The litter will crash into the side of a building, and a giant hopper of salt will tip over on top of them (they're just slugs, right?) I read somewhere that the Hutt species were hermaphroditic and any male/female appearance was solely the discretion of that particular Hutt at that particular moment. Which supports my slug theory.

Doctor Spaceman posted:If we're very lucky we'll see Zorba I'm so glad the concept of "Hutts with hair" was abandoned. Yes, the ROTJ novelization claims that Jabba's hair had fallen out due to a series of diseases, but after that, nobody ever went there again. The closest we got was the Hutt council in a few Clone Wars episodes, a few members of which affected the use of some kind of starfish to approximate wigs.

Are the Ewok Adventures considered canon? Speaking of Ewoks, I found a picture of myself hanging out with an Ewok at either Universal Studios or Walt Disney World circa 1991. Not sure which had a Star Wars attraction back then. (edit: Star Tours, at Disney World way before they bought it)  I really hope their costumes have gotten better.

Little late for Aphra-chat, but whatever. She’s a rogue lesbian archaeologist who bangs and swindles her way across the empire, the rebellion, and the underworld. Her 2 most common companions are a protocol droid (whose is extraordinarily menacing/considers torture his favorite hobby) and a refitted astromech that calls itself a “blastomech” (due to a machine gun and proton torpedo launcher inside his head). He’s also got a flamethrower somewhere, because gently caress you and why not? She also owes Black Krrsantan a pile of money, and he’s not going to let that slide. It’s a wild ride, wholly recommend.

Is there a reason other than "They have power" that the Hutts are as feared as they are? It seems like they'd be super easy to kill and have someone a little more mobile/less conspicuous take their place.

Why doesn't the chairman of the joint cheifs usurp Biden? He wouldn't even have to use the military; he could probably just beat him to death barehanded. "Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very fat slug can cast a very large shadow.”

To add on to this they always have their goons with em as any crime boss usually does. Also I love the idea of a buff rear end Hutt. Imagining them being such dangerous creatures but easily susceptible to gluttonous behavior having achieving power.
