Star Wars overall has this tendency to put entire species into boxes. All pykes seen so far are gangsters, for instance. But newer Star Wars projects have been taking strides not to pull all members of a species under the same comb, like most notably Rotta in The Mandalorian And Grogu.
Thoughts?
I really liked the Mandalorian and Grogu. It was a very entertaining self-contained time. But I know it was mid to most folks, and I agree it definitely could have used just one more draft, to at least turn it from 'mid' to 'good'.
Here are my tweaks:
Lesser changes I also think would work:
These are just some ideas, but I'd love to hear more (only caveat is they have to stick to the plot)
Now obviously, the designs owe a lot to the original Hutt design in Return Of The Jedi. But they took their own spin on the species, and it really pays off for me. Take Rotta being the polar opposite of his father, which is reflected in his design. Where Jabba is obese, evil and cunning, Rotta is buff, kind and naive, though somewhat retaining that Hutt arrogance. It also helps make The Twins feel less like a Jabba retread, and more like a needed contrast to Rotta.
It also just makes sense if you think about it. Why would all Hutts be fat? Not all humans are fat.
I also love how much thought they put into the action scenes with them, and portraying how Hutts would fight. I love how Rotta uses his own body as a weapon, with tail slaps and rolls and crushing his opponents. And when they fight they don't look unnatural, they have proper weight and movement. I thought his one-on-two wrestle with The Twins was simultaneously epic and funny. They clearly based their moves on elephant seal fights, and it's very appropriate.
The only thing I don't understand is why Rotta's arms are like three times the size of every other Hutt we've seen. Are the rest of the Hutts arms just underdeveloped due to a lack of use? I don't know, I felt like they could have kept his arms small and still muscular.
I say that as someone who prefers the Clone Wars style
Like, it's at best passable.
I don't even like the sequels and I'm tired
The accompanying music being Carl Orff's "O Fortuna" is so ridiculously appropriate.
Edit: I can't believe I remembered Morley from Star Wars and forgot the GOAT Rattlesnake Jake from Rango. I am ashamed. I will go punish myself for this oversight. Sorry and thank you.
(an actual critique of the movie by certain persons btw)
The real question is why such a large powerful predator even needs venom, tbh.
