    I'd like to hear more about New Vertica. I can barely find any info about it, but, essentially a decent chunk of the moon gave the Hutts the finger and declared independence. After devastating losses on both sides, the Hutts allowed New Vertica independence as long as the pay yearly tribute. It's an interesting dynamic, as it is in the heart of Hutt Space, but, not directly ruled by them.

    Nar Shadaa needs a multi season episodic series . The possibilities are just endless with this planet. Maybe we could get a gangster/criminal series with the same quality as early game of thrones where there is basically no plot armor and every death avoided is due to the character being smarter, tougher or both. ( plot armor is why I somewhat dislike the Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett .)

    Thank you for this video. I was always afraid but fascinated by the hutts when I was young and introduced to Star Wars. Politically and economically I would say Hutt Space and it’s sphere of influence was operating similarly to China and the Mafias. I read somewhere in legends that many of the Galaxy’s advanced technologies developed on Nar Shadaa because there were no regulations on hazards and safety which made it easier for dangerous experiments to take place necessary to develop technology fast and effective! Cheap labor was also one of the backbone of Hutt space because slavery was not allowed in republic space but legal within Hutt space so the republic was actually indirectly supporting slavery by trading goods and services with the hutts!

      Building code is a living assortment of text that is able to change only after a disaster happens or an update is needed.. ex.: New York's Waist Coat fire killed citizins (mostly women) to the point where America adopted fire safety code. Detroit fires had a huge impact as well. fyi a forgotten disaster is when Detroit burned for days. Point is disasters and bad examples leave the best door open for examination.

      Actually, Hutta probably means Glorious and Nal Jewel, since there's also a hyperspace route in Hutt space called Pabol Hutta, which is supposed to mean "the Glory Road". So the Hutts' name for themselves probably means something like "the glorious ones" in their own language.

      Robots, or in this case, droids, don't usually come free, unlike slaves. Droids also don't own stuff, which means that there's nothing more to take away before you own them. Droids are also more difficult to intimidate & torture, with their sense of self preservation questionable, which means, when they bail on you, they bail on you & there's little you can do other than fixing them whether you like it or not. No such problems with organic slaves. Droids are also in general, tougher than squishy organics. In case of uprisings, it's easier to gun down squishy organics than droids.

      The Hutts were originally a warrior species, and Hutts are surprisingly fast. Hutts only get fat like that when theyre older and in positions of prosperity. But think of it like a hippo, surprisingly agile and fast for its size. Hutts also have redundant organs and can grow back missing chunks, Hutts can even survival partial brain removal. Hutts also are a lot smarter then they look, and have very long life spans. Hutts also reproduce asexually, so with the combination of the genetic lottery and luck they have been able to get to where they are now.
