Agreed, the death toll across the Galaxy must have been massive.

That was actually a bit of a "Many Bothans died to bring us this information," joke.

Don't forget the Sullustians, such as whats-his-name who flew the Falcon with Lando.

Did anybody ever wonder why the Empire didn't conquer the Hutts?

Re: Were the Jedi justified in removing Palpatine?
Because I doubt the Hutts did anything to oppose the Empire.
Empire "You belong to us now."
Hutts "Okay."
Empire "You belong to us now."
Hutts "Okay."

Re: Were the Jedi justified in removing Palpatine?
Who says they didn't? Tatooine was under Imperial control, as was Nar Shaada. Other Hutt planets may very well have been too.Mark wrote:Did anybody ever wonder why the Empire didn't conquer the Hutts?

Re: Were the Jedi justified in removing Palpatine?
The Empire didn't bother to go after them because they were local crime lords, a civilian law enforcement problem. At least that's until the Clone Wars cartoon when the Hutts suddenly became a power that the Republic actually negotiated with.

Re: Were the Jedi justified in removing Palpatine?
The Hutts didn't really pose that much of a problem for the Empire in itself. The Hutts were sensible enough not to go picking a fight with the most powerful force in the universe. Instead, the headed smuggling and anti-civilian operations on Nar Shadda, Tatooine and I think Ryloth, although i am not sure. since they didnt openly appose the Imperials, they were not a concern. The various Rebel sects, the Rebel races like the Corellians, Sullustans, Bothans (whose operatives worked for either side IIRC) and Mon calamari; and the search/extermination of force sensitive races were a much higher priority for the empire.

Re: Were the Jedi justified in removing Palpatine?
Aye, the Hutts did what seems to come naturally to them, keep below the radar, and turn a profiet. They likely got over looked a lot due to knowing who to brib as well.Reliant121 wrote:The Hutts didn't really pose that much of a problem for the Empire in itself.

Re: Were the Jedi justified in removing Palpatine?
I wouldnt put it past them to be on the Empires pay roll either.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Were the Jedi justified in removing Palpatine?
Especially if the Rebels were trying to use Hutt controlled planets. I imagine the Empire would be quite happy with using bribes, and other shady tactics to get the Hutt to rat out the rebels.

I can see them getting paid from both sides, and double crossing as it suited them.
