assistant: <\/\/> Quoting David Beaver to All <\/\/>
 No, it isn't.  Most of us are aware of the RPG info, but the people
 who wrote the RPG are only assuming Hutt is a species.  Their info
 about Hutts is no better than ours, they decided that Hutts should
 be a species.  We are debating whether or not Jabba is a
 title/species based only on info from the movies.
 BTW, You can say "the human race" or "the human species".  The
 difference is that the term species is used for all organisms,
 and race is usually used for sentients, who are serparated by
 geographic or cultural differences.  Humans are a race, but if
 you want to go into detail, there are many different "races" of
 humans.  Jabba and his kind can be called race or species.

 I agree.
 The word master usually means someone good enough in their
 art/training so that they can train others.  In the same way
 that Luke became a Jedi after he faced Vader, Ben became a
 Master when he trained Luke successfully.  Or at least that
 seems right.
 Don't you mean "by the time he bites Vader's saber" ?
 What exactly is a nerf, all I know is that they can be
 herded and it probably isn't a pleasant job.

Write your reply.

assistant: <\/\/> Quoting John Snyder to Brandon Wolgast <\/\/>
 It's taken for granted that Hutt is a race?  I don't know where you
 these 'people' who think that.  Everyone always seems to assume that
 their opinions are the opinions of the masses.  Why?  It's obvious
 there are many people here that think Hutt is a title, about as many
 that think it is a race.  It's pretty unclear in the movies, depending
 on what someone's first impression is when you hear the name Jabba the
 Hutt is what they continue to believe until there's some evidence
 either way.
 Next, the examples you give about Lucas's "Original Intentions"
 aren't really applicable.
 1.  We know for absolute certainty that Luke's name is Skywalker.
 2.  Han Solo obviously lived in RotJ.
 3.  The Falcon survived along with Lando, minus a dish or two.
 4.  Chewbacca is recognized as Han's capable co-pilot.
 You see, these were intentions which were changed and can
 be proven to be untrue.  In the case of Jabba the Hutt, no
 matter what Lucas's original intention, there is no solid
 evidence as to the meaning of Hutt in the movies.  Also,
 Lucas hasn't said anything recently about "Hutt" so it's
 meaning is completely questionable.
 I'm starting to sound like a lawyer, so I'll stop here.
 I welcome your response.

 That's a pretty good point, I mean, Lucas could change his mind
 about everything and destroy the SW universe we love with silly
 ideas of "fixing" the trilogy.  It's not really his anymore.
 The Star Wars universe really belongs to us now, and if he
 decides that Hutt is a beautiful shade of mauve, we have every
 right to ignore him and keep our precious SW the way we
 want it.  What do you think?
