Why the Hutts Waited Five Years to Return to Tatooine in The Book of Boba Fett

- Why did the Hutts leave Jabba's throne unoccupied for five years? Why did they let Bib Fortuna and then Boba Fett swoop in and take their territory? The War of the Bounty Hunters comics have a very likely answer.

I kinda assumed the last thing you brought up - that Bib was working for the Hutts, like a local governor, because they didn't want to be hands on at all (at least for now). Boba killing him off and taking over got in the way of that and forced them to intervene.
Bib obsessively eating to get as massive as possible to appeal his new overlords is kind of a funny image, too :D
I assumed Bib Fortuna was working FOR the huts. He was too weak to actually hold the throne.
yes, I think Hutt's Appointed Bib as the governor for the time being, until they can send one of the Hutt's to take over.
if they're gonna show Rotta The hutt in the book of Boba, i would like him to be uniqe than the other Hutts, or follow his father footsteps, similar to Boba Following Jango's footsteps.
3 words: Baby Hutt Plushies.
Rotta and Boba can change roles. Daimyo Boba Fett; Bounty Hunter Rotta
@@lyndsaybrown8471 that's actually a really neat idea
Lol wish ROTTA became a guitarist in a band😂😂
Or he has a kink for togrutas thanks to Ahsoka😂😂😂
Has his own personal orange togruta slave that looks a lot like Ahsoka
@@ricktheexplorer Lol you said it all
I think the point of the constant questioning of Boba's missing litter is that they are subtly telling him, "you, sir, are no Hutt". No litter, no Hutt....no Hutt, no Daimyo.
Yea, until he rolls into town on a Rancor.
I like your idea. I'd amend it a bit by saying that Bib was sending Jabba's "take" from Tattooine to the Hutts on a regular basis, and that the cessation of such transfers led the Hutts to discover Boba's coup, hence the arrival of the two Hutts.
I hope to see more about the Hutts during this period in The Book of Boba Fett
I think you forgot the ™
Thanks, for the updated info. The Mayor said those assassins do not operate outside of Hutt Space.
I think Bib Fortuna just may have been working for the Hutts all along. I agree with the idea that he was probably serving as a regent.
BTW, I think we will continue to see flashbacks until Boba Fett takes his first bacta bath. Oddly, he does not seem to need it, yet.
Boba's been taking bacta baths all the way through the show what do you mean??
@@timrice1360 I think he meant until the flashbacks catch up to the first time he uses the bacta tank (or after his appearance in The Mandalorian)
@@timrice1360 I believe he means that he has not needed it when he was with the tuskans, and that the flash backs will go all the way until/up to his first bacta bath
@@porgnerd7386 but he did need them when he was with the tuskens he just didn't have the option for obvious reasons
@@porgnerd7386 Right, that is exactly what I mean. In the “present”, Boba seems to be highly dependent on the bacta tank sessions.
In the Tusken flashbacks, he’s killing sand monsters, busting heads in bars, and doing all sorts of demanding physical activity, while smiling the whole entire time.
Given that a Hutts aren’t considered adults until they are 200 years old, and the last time we saw Rotta he was around 10 (the equivalent of a 1 year old), I think that is highly unlikely that we will be seeing rotta anytime soon. Even given the 27 gap between series, Ge would still only be around 37 (practically 4 in Hutt years).
Even if we go further to the time of Rise of Skywalker, he would still only be about 64 years (6 in hutts years).
P.s For every 10 years, a Hutt ages 1 year, with an example being Janna who at the time of his death was 600, and thus would only be 60 Hutt years.
Reminds me of how we seem to see Yoda's species age. Basically just take how old a human would be and tack on a zero.
We saw a Baby Yoda and a Baby Hutt...Why not a Toddler Hutt? Like yeah they can't rule Tatooine or probably speak but they could still be there nonetheless for I don't know legitimacy for the Twins claim or something.
Honestly just want to see the little slug to know they're still alive.
@@t65bx25 Yoda was a teacher when he was 100 so his species age differently
Huttlings usually stay in the brood pouch for 50 years, becoming ten-year-olds upon release.
With Rotta, Jabba probably removed him from the brood pouch ASAP to keep it from getting in the way of Jabba's dealings.
Rotta is away attending “Good Little Crime Lord Academy”. He will re-emerge to take on Boba Fett’s Grand Clone in the next Star Wars series “Those Crazy Hutts”. Brought to you in part by “Kermit’s Frog Bongs”. Being a Daimyo is making you hangry? Eat frog from Kermit’s Frog Bongs tm.
I have a feeling that Bib Fortuna was ruler in name only. I imagine he probably paid the Hutt cartel a huge portion of what he got and they were okay with not having to go to tattooine.
I didn't even get the sense that the Twins "just showed up" out of nowhere. The way everybody reacted to Boba and kept talking about the litter, it almost felt like the Twins actually were in power on Tatooine for a while already, and just nobody thought to interfere with their inevitable feud when Boba took over the Palace. Sure, it's where Jabba hung out most of the time but I'd fully expect the hutts to maintain many different palaces and residences across the planet, as any good crime-lord/dictator/aristocrat would.
Honestly, it would be a bit of a nice comedic/ironic twist if it turns out Boba was so dead-set on getting to Jabbas old throne, he simply overlooked the true crime lords.
Well you need to see planets as houses of themselves. You must not forget the hutts are a powerfull cartel and controle many planets whitin their own space... so if you put all the leaders on 1 insignificant planet (wich is not even their main planet, wich is Nal Hutta)...
I reckon Fett would have known where the other palaces/houses were, if indeed there were others, simply because he worked for Jabba for quite a while and therefore, would've had at least some knowledge of Jabba's other residences.
I was thinking maybe Bib Fortuna was being a sneaky sneaker and pretending Jobba was still alive so he could have the throne and when Boba killed him and wasn’t keeping anything a secret they figured it out and showed up
It’s like when your grandpa dies and all the unwanted relatives wiggle (no pun intended) out of the wood work looking to collect.
for anyone who wants to know, in Legends (not canon yet), childhood was 1-70, Hutts were young adults at 71-90, a full adult at 91-650, middle-aged at 651-844, and elderly at 845-925, but there was a Legends Hutt who was 1700 years old
I just assumed that Bib was their puppet ruler or placeholder. Perhaps the other Hutts felt safer ruling from the shadows and using Bib as their figurehead
If they are continuing with the flashbacks in the next episode I assume it’ll be about Boba finding Fennec. I hope that’s true because I feel she hasn’t done much on this show and I feel this would give her the opportunity to be fleshed out more.
That probably won't happen until one of the very last episodes, as it takes place during mando season 1, aka 9 ABY. The flashbacks so far have taken place in 4 ABY, aka right after return of the jedi.
There's probably still more stories to tell during that 5 year gap.
I really hope they show exactly how he saved her life, because she seemed pretty dead.
If Huts age at the same rate as Yoda, Yaddle & Grogu then it would make perfect sense for Rottah to still be toddler to preschool age somewhere.
Stinky joined Lukes Jedi academy and is now training with Grogu. Upcoming D+ show will feature the two taking down the Hut syndicate from within, Infernal Affairs style.
Wow I completely forgot about Jabba's son!? That would be an epic callback if he shows up
Rotta would still be super young. While they aren’t Yoda’s species, he’d still be SUPER young, so when Jabba died, he may have just straight up been killed.
Hutts actually live longer than Yoda’s species
for anyone who wants to know, in Legends (not canon yet), childhood was 1-70, Hutts were young adults at 71-90, a full adult at 91-650, middle-aged at 651-844, and elderly at 845-925, but there was a Legends Hutt who was 1700 years old
I think Bib Fortuna was never the leader of anything. He was more like the manager of the local McDonald's. Sure he is the boss of that location, but he answers to district manager. Now that Bib is dead, the twins have to come and be the boss.
Wow Bokku is the only Hut I've even seen that's actually ripped
Grakkus from the comics was until he was imprisoned
@@williamroggenkamp8379 yeah, oddly the dude seemed to get less jacked after prison...not usually how that happens...I guess he was getting older?
I think that you are right on the money with the Regent idea, however I still hope that Rotta appears again.
Maybe as an ally to Boba?
At 25 years Rotta is no more than a toddler lol, if anything he'd be a closely kept secret within what's left of the Hutt cartel until he's old enough.
@@DzakyAmany yeah exactly I don’t think they’d be letting their valuable little toddler go to a very dangerous situation
I hope that the badass wookie last week gets more screen time with some references to his comic material.
Excellent, thanks for the video!! May the Force be with you!!
... Why is that Hutt so jacked?!?
I feel like the Hutts where able to get Bib to more or less cooperate with them, favorable payouts or whatever to the Hutts in return for uncontested rule over Jabba's holdings. Once Boba Kills Bib the Hutts feel like they need to send someone stronger/loyal to regain control. After all we see Jabba rule for at least 60 years bib didn't seem to make it 5, so enter the twins.
I do like the concept of Bib being a steward for Jabba's son but Boba calls him a usurper leaving me to thank that wasn't the case. The Twins could still be, and throwing a 'teenage' Hutt into the show, like Joffrey in space sounds just like an awful Disney thing to do >XD. The crew handling this seem to be above that sort of thing though, so here's to hoping Ep3 gives us some quality time in the 'Present', expecting sort of the yin to last weeks yang as it where. Although, so far my expectations have all been pleasantly subverted so who knows what will happen next >XD the whole series could end up being 95% Tuskens
Yeah I like buff Hutt, they can be lethal when they want 2
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Bib Fortuna paid the Hutts a tribute to allow him to reimain on the throne
I'm thinking Grogu and Rotta could be school pals, Rotta could secretly have midochlorians maybe that's why Asoka was protecting him 🤔
I think in following the death of Jabba, there was a power struggle which left the Hutt Cartel weakened. Bib Fortuna wasn't considered a threat and if anything would hold Jabba's rule until the Hutts were ready to take it back. When Boba Fett killed Fortuna, the Hutts saw that as a threat which is why they intervened.
Wasn’t there a Hutt child that was being raised by Cobb’s town in Aftermath? Maybe that’s Rotta and the Hutt clan just assumes he’s dead
I think you'll right. It makes sens when you look at it with Clone Wars and Comics working together in one story line.
THere is also the issue of how the Empire did make things like running a criminal empire harder. The place of time the series is taking place in is basically during a time of transition between the New Republic and the Fall of the Empire. Such things due to how it happened, isn't likely overnight so the Hutts decided to take the opportunity to act then. As it was safer for them to make a move.
I’m still gonna maintain that Rotta inexplicably aged up into the Hutt from Tatooine Rhapsody until proven otherwise
Thanks, Alex! 5⃣ Agreed, there's so much happening on *Nal* *Hutta* that they probably were biding their time 'til it seemed prudent to make their move. I do hope we see 'Rotta' eventually. And, I imagine that's only a matter of time, as well.
my guess is it was a combination of lack of a Hutt Council and Rotta not being old enough to take up the throne when his father died.
I think Boba is working with/as a part of the tuakan’s to help them reclaim their homeland. With the Mandalorian going in a similar direction with the dark saber and Mandalore do you think we could see Boba and Din Djarin forming a sort of alliance between groups of Mandalorian’s and Tuskan’s?
Ok, maybe no Rotta, but what about Borgo the Hutt that Cobb saved? Could he be the intended recipient of Jabba's throne, and the twin are now aware that Borgo is "missing"...and those making a power play for what they see as a empty throne and territory?
What if Rotta and Borgo are the same hutt? I think it was said that Malakili named the hutt borgo, so we don't actually know Borgos birth name. It could actually be Rotta.
I bet Jabba's son will appear in the 6th episode of The Book of Boba Fett, since it's written by Dave Filoni.
Or cad bane instead
@@Albino_Basilisk Why not both😏?
Bib Fortuna was mostly likely under the influence of the Hutts and with his death, the Hutts came back.
I'm 100 percent sure, Bib was paying a large tribute to the Twins off world, plus he knew the territory and kept the profits coming in.
Makes sense as they portrayed Bib to be exceedingly subservient in ROTJ anyway. It would be fitting he'd basically be a placeholder after Jabba's death, ruling as a mouthpiece at the behest of other more "authoritative" crime bosses in the meantime, like the twins.
Yeah i just thought Bib was looking after things until things blow over. I was Expecting Jabba's son though. I hope he shows up at some point.
If it’s anything what we seen in movies and tv shows like The Sopranos about the American mafia, Bib Fortuna was a acting street boss for the Hutts. The Hutts were too busy dealing with what ever issues in their home world to deal with anything outside it. Remember the Rebels winning throw everything in chaos including the underworld. Bib Fortuna was a acting street boss collecting tributes on behalf of the Hutts.
Boba said „His cowardly major domo userved his territory“ Soooooooo im convinced he was just a placeholder.
Most likely Nal Hutta was arguing with who would take over, but Boba forced them into action.
I think the latter explanation makes more sense and even though I didn't know about Jabba's son, I assumed that was the case.
Us fans be like: "Where is Rotta? Is he secret? Is he safe?"
This sounds on point. In chapter 2 of TBOBF, after Boba Fett went and seen the mayor, he went back The Sanctuary where Garsa told him about The Twins wanting the throne. And his response was “The Twins are preoccupied with the debauchery of Hutta to bother with any ambitions on Tatooine.” And then The Twins showed. Maybe he was speaking about all the in-fighting and everything else that was going on that you explained.
I like the idea of bib fortuna being an imparcial governor until the hutts get things in order but boba's appearence made them jump into action
They were busy: eating. And playing football: "Hutt, Hutt!"
I think that it is more likely that bib fortuna was just a puppet that the hutts ruled through. But when boba killed fortuna the hutts were forced to move in and rule themselves.
All of the above
Hutt Council death and Rotta being too young allowed Bib to take over. Then he died and thus, the twins
Makes sense Crimson Dawn causes a Power Struggle. Makes for some new contracts if anything.
Bibb was working for the huts the entire time. No need for them to come back until Boba took over.
I'm curious about how the Hutts became big crime lords. Most of the galaxy's criminals don't seem to be the types to respect someone's who has never held a blaster.
Slaves, bounty hunters and they uses to be not so fat.
I don't know if this explanation is still canon, but pre-Disney they were one of the first species to develop space travel and so they were able to enslave multiple worlds and other species that were more primitive than them.
I want more Hutts like Bokku and Grakkus.
Thanks for this video, cleared a few things up to me
I'm sorry the Hutt wearing a headset at 2:23 is the funniest thing in the world
i don’t care about rotta, where is geezer? (i know he didn’t care about the hutt legacy)
Honestly, if Hutts live over a thousand years, 5 years might just be like what a week would be to us.
I hope they go to the Hutt Planet! Can you imagine an entire City of Hutts?!?
I figured Bib was sending the Twins tribute to hold the planet in their name
Or I think Bib was acting like a regent for Rotta the Hutt, as Jabba's son is too young for a Hutt to take the responsabilities to command his father's criminal Empire.
I love how as a fan base we all don't think the cw movie wasn't the best BUT rotta is the rightful air
Why? They’ve been traveling around by litter. Not the fastest mode of transportation.
Ha
Ratta would be a great addition wonder if they could do something with zero.
I know they have hyper drives and etc, but it would make sense if the reason why it took 5 years was just simply because of distance
Maybe it takes 5 year to get to Tatooine from Nal Hutta or where ever the twins came from
They actually left immediately, it just took them that long because they had to be carried on the damn barges
I think Bib was still working for the Hutt's and just keep an eye on things.
I'll bet Rota would aid Boba Fett in the series.
"Why the Hutts Waited Five Years To Return..."
In five minutes. Genius
Yeah, the fact that they would show up right after Boba? Coincidence. But the fact that they would show up right after Jabba's former majordomo, who'd been sitting on the throne in the meantime, was killed and deposed? That doesn't feel like coincidence to me.
Considering the state of the Palace and its lack of retinue, and Boba's line about the Twins being 'preoccupied with the debauchery of Hutta' (paraphrased because I don't remember the line precisely), I suspect Tatooine isn't particularly important to the Twins in terms of revenue. They're well-off enough to be debauched on their homeworld, after all, and to hire somebody like Black Krrrsanten. Bib may have been working for them, funnelling tribute their way and acting as a figurehead, or they may have simply not cared enough about Tatooine so long as the senior member of Jabba's staff was occupying the throne. But when Boba comes along and stakes a claim on what's rightfully theirs, no matter how unimportant they consider it, that's a slap in the face that has to be addressed.
I just love the hutts and their history
Awesome video buddy
I liked the idea of Bib being a Steward for the Hiutts. Then they can rein theyre domain without precence. Johan.
I think the answer is fairly simple what's 5 years to a species that could potentially live to be over a thousand
Honestly I think the hutts have been without strong leadership for a while And probably have been scrambling/working to regain their prestige. In fact I think this little show of force they put on is more out of fear than actual power.
I just assumed that Jabba had established Bib as the heir of his throne because he trusts him and the Hutts respected Jabbas decision. And now that Bib is dead, the twins want the throne
Amazing video
Loving the thought that people think being a gangster leader is somehow similar to being a royal! "Shouldn't it pass to Rotta?" WTF Jabba was killed, there was a power vacuum. Bib Fortuna jumped in but obviously wasn't right for it and was basically sitting on nothing with no backup.
Its also quite clear to see that Jabba and the Hutt species were created for ROTJ because Jabba fits his role in that movie perfectly where as everything about the Hutt species doesn't fit with anything else any of them ever do. I mean a Hutt is a slow defenceless thing that could never come to any kind of power, it would be killed very easily by just about anything. Hutt vs Bantha I'm thinking Bantha wins.
However a one off Hutt that's bought a few of the best bounty hunters for protection and to bring in some money now that's believable, obviously there are some people/creatures who want to stay on the right side and so the loyalty grows and so Jabba's influence grows and he becomes a gangster boss, that's totally possible. What is unbelievable is the presented stance that ALL Hutts are in that situation where they clearly wouldn't be.
Jabba on his own was just fine.
Idk if I'm remembering this right or not but didn't Cobb vanth and his crew pick up a hutlet in one of the aftermath books.. and that's why he recruited malakili (Ik I probably spelt that wrong) to raise it... I always kinda thought that could have been Rotta.
@Idiotlorian ah makes sense
I don't think the Hutts knew everything that was occurring on Tattoine. *If* we take at face value that the assassins were sent by the Hutts, we need to ask why he thought Jabba's Palace still had a Rancor. Anyone who was present in ROTJ would know it was killed. I think they waited, because they didn't actually know what was going on.
I've grown picky when it comes to subscribing to reaction channels because I'm already subscribed to a lot & there are just sooo many... that being said, I feel compelled to sub even though this is the first video I've watched from your channel. I suspect I'll be seeing much more of you guys in the future. Your new subscriber, Thomas (TJ)
Starwars has always had the problem of moving at the speed off the plot, so the twins showing up at the most plot convenient time should just be thrown on the pile of "convenient developments for the sake of story".
Yeah I really doubt they’ll reveal much about most of the characters (to make us want to watch more)
I don't think they waited that long, but rather used bib fortuna to hold tatoonie by proxy
If the Hutt council is dead who is the one they need to get permission from to kill the Twins?
Ok, but if the rest of the Hutt council is dead in the show, who does Fett have to ask for permission before being able to kill the twins?
Maybe they were just running Bib Fortuna from offworld, allowing him to rule in proxy?
Yes you finally got around to that. I typed this before I watched the video. I think Bib working for the twins makes the most sense. They want to appeal to the casual SW fan, and hardcore fan alike, and theyve actually been starting to do a pretty good job of that lately.
"Why the Hutts Waited Five Years "...simple. It was in the script :) The Hutts have no say in what the writers do. Sure was cool to see them.
This would make sense as an explanation to me. I haven't read the War of the Bounty Hunters comic, everybody fighting over Han seemed an odd concept to me, but this instability and conflict within the Hutt 'dynasty' would make a fair explanation for their lack of presence on Tatooine. Also makes sense that Jabba's son might still be very young.
Five Years? Is there a time frame for how long Boba was in the Sarlac Pit?
Hello, i don't know if you already answered this, but how come the Hutts are so powerful? What is that they have that made them crime lords, evidently not personal strength, so there must been something on their planet they sell.
Bib’s def not a leader, certainly a puppet keeping the throne warm.
Totally amazing.
Have you ever done a history of hutts in cannon and legends?
I absolutely love the new canon movies, shows, novels, comics, and games. But… sometimes the comic books can get a little convoluted and unnecessarily silly. I mean how many times does Han in carbonite need to get stolen and returned and stolen again lol?
They’re being carried all the way to Mos Espa from their home planet
Why is Bobba Fett such a hotshot. He got knocked into the Sarlat pit by a 3 stooges act.
Why would Darth Vader want the slab now? He gave it away
it certainly explain why they high tailed it off world once they learned the Pykes were involved
I would have liked to see a Jedi slice open one of the Hutts to see its guts spill out….🤣
