Well...That Esclated Quickly

Here is another idea that came to me during my walk to work.  I want you to know, though it goes in a humorous direction it really is not a full fix-it. 

When Order 66 went live, some of the chips did not activate. There is no rhyme nor reason as to which chips activate and which did not. Not a huge amount compared to the whole, but some. Enough that a few hundred Jedi and a Few thousand Clones regroup in the aftermath. 

While you can fill in most of the blanks the following are included in my idea

Obi Wan Kenobi and a company’s worth of 212th clones, including Cody: Obi Wan was still shot off the cliff, to the horrified eyes of the still free clones. The still free clones don't have enough numbers to take on their brethren who appear to have gone insane, but do have enough to steal one of the midsized transport ships, one capable of hyperspace flight.  They reluctantly allow Obi Wan to go to Coruscant on his own, with the rationale that one person can sneak to the surface much easier than a whole company, while the clones establish a regroup point.  From there Obi Wan goes on the Mustafar, which ends as it did in canon. Obi Wan brings Padme to the transport ship where she still dies of complications of her pregnancy

Fox, Hound, a dozen other members of the CG, and the Younglings: Fox and the few members of the CG that were unaffected by O66 raced to beat the 501st to the Temple. They made it just a few minutes before their enslaved brothers. Just barely in time to evacuate the children in the creche with the help (and insistent sacrifice) of the adult Jedi.  While there were a few Creche Masters evacuated with the children, it was now basically just Fox and his CG functionally in charge of baby Jedi ranging from Babies to Pre teens. They connect with remains of the 212th before the events of Mustafar. 

Yoda, who did still have to kill his commander in order to escape, but was able to bring a few clones with him.  They still end up being collected by Bail Organa.

Ahsoka, Rex, Jesse and  a portion of the maintenance team for their battalion: They do not meet up with the rest for quite some time (at least three years). Rex’s chip did activate but he was able to get Ahsoka the message about Fives. After Rex is freed they find Jesse and the other free clones (soft shells all) looking on in horror at their controlled brethren. With the help of the maintenance team they are able to escape from the ship without freeing Maul or crashing into the moon.  By the time they are able to look past the immediate situation, the Temple is already burning and it has been announced that the Jedi are traitors. These 25 or so go to ground in Mandalorian space and try to figure out how to free the clones from the chips (beyond surgery which really does not work with the numbers they have to deal with). They do not realize anyone else has survived. 

Aayla survived, due to one of the clones (not Bly) pushing her out of the way and sacrificing his life for her. Bly’s chip does work. She escapes with two dozen free clones and six chipped clones tied up in the back (Including Bly, even the clones agree they cannot save everyone and hopefully it means that they can figure out what is going wrong).

Shaak Ti, 10 Veteran clones, 40 ‘Shinies’, 300 child and teenage cadets, three junior Kaminoan Scientists (not Nala Se) none of which knew about the chip or Order 66, and Omega.  Shaak Ti had been working with a few Kaminoan Scientists to see the clones as sentients in their own right and the reactions of the clones under the chip's control horrified a few of those scientists.  Between them and Omega, who had been paying attention and used this as a chance to escape the lab (the Bad Batch being off planet at the time) they were able to evacuate anyone not under the control of the chip. 

All of these people (Barring Ahsoka and Co) converge on the ship that had been stolen by the free 212th clones. Had less children survived (about a third of the living Jedi are children under the age of 11, plus the cadets) they all would likely have split into small groups and made their own way through the galaxy. But there was just no way to break into small enough groups to be safe AND still make sure the children (and to some extent the Shinies) were taken care of.  They were also too large a group to go anywhere in the Republic, or even anywhere in Mandalorian space (There were an awful lot of uninhabited planets in the galaxy but most were uninhabited for a reason). Thus there was only one thing they could do.

Take over the Hutt Empire.

To be fair the take over part did start out accidentally. The actual goal was to find a place to lay low in the Hutt Empire, possibly the only place Palpatine’s Empire could not reach quite yet(at least until Palpatine solidified his rule). 

So they found a planet within the Hutt Empire to lay low on, While Bail Organa left to begin planting the seeds for the rebellion (No Leia as the twins were not being split up). As much as I want it to be Tattoine, it just has too small a population to not have a couple of thousand people (Most of whom hide their very distinctive faces) showing not be noticeable. So they choose a planet with a higher population. 

This is where the trouble began. All of our adults are deeply traumatized, trained warriors who are not used to sitting by, universally feeling useless. They are facing an insurmountable task, still mostly directionless, and deeply angry at life.  

It starts with the local Hutt’s minions trying to shake down some newcomers, who were not looking for a target to vent their spleen but found one just the same. It does not end well for the minions. Nor the next six attempts, with different groups of Clones and Jedi each time.  No one has told Command yet, but they look at each other and ‘shit we can’t keep drawing attention to ourselves but we can’t leave either’

The solution (Commander Cody himself would like to reiterate this was not the correct solution)? Take out the Hutt. Then they realize that taking out the Hutt has just drawn more attention to this city as the other Hutts for the planet try to figure out who took out this one.

The next Solution? Take out the rest of the Hutts on the planet. 

They have now drawn even more attention to the planet from yet more Hutts. This is the one thing that is critical they do not have. 

The next Solution? Try three to make this plan work (Commander Cody reminds you that trying the same thing over and over again, hoping for different results, is the definition of insanity) and take out the Hutts looking for answers. 

By the time that these small groups have admitted to Command (Obi Wan, Cody, Yoda, Shaak Ti, Fox) what is going on, a few months later, they have accidentally taken over the Hutt Empire.

The Hutt Empire that is still nominally allied with Palpatine’s Empire. The Hutt Empire that has to stay allied to Palpatine’s Empire if they do not want to draw the attention of the entire Imperial Forces to the largest concentration of living Jedi and free Clones in the galaxy.  The Hutt Empire that no longer has any active Hutts. 

In this the human centric leaning of Palpatine’s Empire is actually helpful.  They very rarely wanted to deal with other species, so it was easy to appoint someone unknown but human to deal with the com calls and visits. It does mean that they have to make up a Hutt that they essentially have to play ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ with, a couple of times a year when a representative insists on meeting with the Hutt in charge. 

Also the fact that Palpatine’s Empire is more interested in enslaving their own citizens for free as opposed to buying them from the Hutts means that they can shut down the slave trade within Hutt Space (over time).  Fox both loves and hates running a criminal empire. 

It should be noted that, even with Bly and the five other chipped clones, no one actually knows what is going on until Rex and Co find their way back to them.  We are going with the thought that a level 5 atomic scan is a ludicrously high level of scanning. Like sitting on a Nuclear Reactor to get an X-Ray kind of ludicrous, so not only does no one think to do that level of scanning to see what is wrong, but they do not even have that kind of equipment readily available.  The reports about Fives from Rex never made it to any kind of centralized repository, there is no way to know why most clones suddenly started to kill Jedi. Bly and Co spend the three years before Rex shows up in a makeshift brig, they can function almost normally until a Jedi is brought up or in the room with them. 

Bail laughs his ass off when he is told, through several intermediaries and coded messages, that the Jedi and the Clones accidentally took over a criminal empire.  Then he starts funneling the Path and the people his rebellion are rescuing into Hutt Space to find the Jedi. 

Three years in Rex, Ahsoka, the clones with them (now having grown to nearly another thousand) arrive with the news that they can disable the chips from a distance of about a large cruiser. 

That is how the Hutt Empire became freedom fighters.

Okay, I just had to share this. For the fic I'm currently posting, I needed to find a drug in Star Wars that was basically space!weed, and months ago, I came across marcan herb. It's exactly what I wanted for the story, and I keep telling people they need to look at the image on the wook legends page for marcan herb because like. If this doesn't scream D.A.R.E. for people who grew up in the US during the drugs moral panic, idk what does 🤣

You're welcome

My biggest wish for Episode 9 was that we’d see Kylo’s Empire and it like… wouldn’t be terrible.

He doesn’t have many ships, what he has is the initiative and more concentrated firepower. For the First Order to hold territory, it would have to make concessions, alliances and agreements, as well as establishing Galactic Policy. The First Order is far too small to rule with an Iron Fist everywhere, so it in basic political terms, it must allow some consent of governance if they even want to rule.

In my mind, with the Resistance reduced to a handful, Kylo Ren would focus on abolition. He’s the son of the Huttslayer and grandson of a Slave who’s in love with a different former slave. For a Fascist State, they always require an enemy and frankly? The Hutts are a perfect one for a Fascist nation.

The Enemy is both Strong and Weak? Check. They’re fundamentally other and also infiltrators? Check. Allows for a black and white world view? Double Check.

It’s a pure propaganda move. Kylo Ren (while keeping Star Destroyers over orbit of important systems) sends the fleet and the PDFs to attack Hutt Space while he cements his leadership with political reforms (establishing a system of Moffs to lessen Hux’s political power would be key, and I would try to pick natives to the sectors) and genuineky acting on Leia’s beliefs.

Time and time again, she got held up in committee or debate. The positive changes she wanted to make were stopped by beuracracy. Kylo Ren is the Supreme Leader - id he says “Free the Slaves,” they’re free.

This also would’ve put the Resistance in a bind. Accept the support of the incredibly powerful and rich Hutt Cartels, or stay true to their morals and principles? Leia in Legends worked with the Hutts, so if her Canon counterpart did, how would Rey react?

Idk, could’ve been interesting

(god i'll fucking regret this in the morning) Virgin Mando'a

basically a dead language

only spoken in one particular sector of the galaxy

spoken by rapidly-aging clones

Mandalorians themselves don't even speak it among each other

frankly overhyped

british influences (disgusting)

difficult to apply in sentences, you come off as a nerd

Chad Huttese

simply refuses to die

THE most widely spoken language in the galaxy second to basic

spoken by borderline immortal crime lords

Hutts don't even bother with basic, indulge in their glorious language freely; foreigners stumped

older than the Republic itself

no lesser earthly influences

can easily fit into sentences, perfect for swearing

I know that it probably doesn't suit the character, but I would like to see a fic in episode 6, or between 5 and 6, where someone with a head reminds Jabba the Hutt about Anakin Skywalker and Jabba decides that he still owes him han, and have repaid without problems.

For those who don't know, in the Clone Wars movie where Ahsoka is introduced, Jabba the Hutt's baby son has been kidnapped and the Jedi, specifically Anakin and Ahsoka, help recover him so that the Republic instead of the Separatists can use the lines that control the huts. Padme amidala also appears.

which reminds me that it would be even funnier if they also saw Leia and said "oh, those two are the children of the other two who helped us get the little Huttit back safely... Let's get on their good side"

Remember when Ahsoka was like "shapes...devouring.... purple, i see a color?" FNAF REFERENCE

Ziro the Hutt is that one afton guy😭

@ijumpbridges this reminded me of you

[titleknown]

A friend was playing Hylics II and referred to the portals to the afterlife as "Gurt Fountains," and a terrible Thought occurred to me: "Gurt Fountain" totally sounds like the name of an obscure Star Wars character who somehow had a novel about him in the old Expanded Universe.

Another friend mentioned he'd probably be a Hutt, and yeah, out of all the Star Wars species I could imagine taking recreational baths in a go-gurt fountain, a Hutt is probably near the top of the list.

You could probably make a custom toy out of them too by painting that one "Jabba Glob" figure and filling it up with Go-Gurt.

NSFW Headcanon I've developed but am too much of a coward to put on my own blog

Because of Hondo's unfortunate past as a slave, he likes to be in control when making love, as it gives him a sense of power he craved during that time when he had none.

He would never force it on anyone, but should the lover of his choice choose to be submissive, he would be ECSTATIC and extremely grateful.

Of course, he's still going to make sure your needs are met.

Interestinnnng. Thank you for sharing! I have a bit of a different take which @allsystemsblue and I developed together because we can't stop talking about Hondo.

Well, for one, Hondo was a child when he was sold, but he quickly rose through the ranks of Porla the Hutt's court and became his advisor.

To that end, he did have some power in his role as Porla trusted him enough to well, give him advice. I am sure the Weequay used this to his advantage.

Teeth mentioned Porla might be the only Hutt he is cool with. I don't see him being friendly with Jabba per say, or any other Hutt for that matter, but perhaps Hondo being so helpful over the years gave him a pass when he stole all those ships and speeders from his former master.

My assumption was this: in canon we never hear of Porla retaliating, or trying to get revenge. Why not? Maybe he liked Hondo. Maybe he respected him. Maybe he was like "you know what, go, do your own thing, you deserve it."

He was probably so rich a few ships didn't matter. Hutts are not ones to back down, usually. If he really wanted to come after Hondo or wanted him dead, chances are we would have heard about it (I assume.)

I perceive Hondo as a switch. There is no doubt in my mind he would love to dominate his partner, but at the same time he does not mind being submissive or giving control over to someone else. Just look at Aurra Sing. I wonder who wore the pants in THAT relationship? XD Most likely Sing. I am of course referring to their on-screen kiss and his reference to Boba being "his kid."

They definitely fucked.

Also, it is a wonder to me that if Hondo is potentially opposed to slavery because of his past, why is he so willing to hand over Ahsoka? Profit of course! This man has few scruples, at least during the Clone Wars.

And I 100% agree. No matter what happens, Hondo will always make sure you get yours before he gets his.

—-

Note/Edit.

While Hondo could have sold Porla’s secrets to his enemies, we do not have proof he ever did this. We also do not know how Porla felt about Hondo, but he never went after him in canon after the fact, so that to me speaks volumes.

I want to see the principle of adverse possession from American property law (sometime's called squatter's rights) applied in the Star Wars universe

the Mining Guild wants to kick the Rebel Alliance out of a base they've set up in an abandoned mine shaft? Adverse Possession baby!

some moisture farmer wants to kick old Ben Kenobi out of his depression cave? Adverse. Possession.

the Hutts want to kick Boba off Tatooine? Adverse! Possession!
