Mama was a Hutt with a feminine personality , and a member of the Desilijic kajidic ; by the final years of the Galactic Republic , she was considered to be quite old . Over the previous centuries , Mama gave birth to several Huttlets who would grow to be prolific beings in the galaxy , including Ebor , Zorba Desilijic Tiure , Pazda Desilijic Tiure , Jiliac Desilijic Tiron and Ziro Desilijic Tiure . She was the grandmother of Jabba Desilijic Tiure , and great - grandmother to his son , Rotta . Of her younglings , Mama appeared to favor her son Ebor , who was deceased by the time of the Clone Wars , over his younger brother , Ziro , who had brought numerous bumbling disgraces to their family . She also seemed to be unaware that her husband had disappeared , nor that he had died and was entombed on Teth . Circa 21 BBY , she lived on the planet of Nal Hutta . Despite her offspring ' s successes , Mama lived in a modest hut in the swamps of that world . During the Clone Wars , a war which raged across the galaxy between the Republic and the secessionist Confederacy of Independent Systems , Ziro was imprisoned by the Hutt Grand Council within Gardulla ' s Palace on Nal Hutta . Ziro , who had been arrested by the Republic and only recently escaped , was held captive by the Grand Council , who knew he had made attempts to usurp Jabba ' s position within their clan and had a role in the kidnapping of Rotta . In addition to his crimes against his family , Ziro also possessed a datapad which contained details of the Hutt Cartel ' s criminal dealings . If he were to be killed , he vowed that it would be released to the authorities . Thus , they decided to keep him under their control . Ziro , however , had an accomplice in his lover , a singer named Sy Snootles . Snootles , who had been performing for the Grand Council , subsequently helped Ziro escape from his cell . The pair made their way to Mama ' s hut , where the elder woman coldly greeted her son . Ziro believed that her dislike for him would allow him to elude the Council ' s notice by heading somewhere they wouldn ' t expect . Though their conversation was strained , Mama finally agreed to trade her starship for Ziro ' s Pongeeta - class swamp speeder . Shortly afterward , Mama was visited by a bounty hunter named Cad Bane , who was working for the Council . Bane had previously secured Ziro ' s release from Republic custody , but the Hutts wanted him returned to them , and Bane was once more on their payroll . After Ziro left , Bane and his droid , Todo 360 , arrived at Mama ' s hut and demanded to know where her son was going . With no love for her son and under the threat of Bane ' s menacing presence , she provided the bounty hunter with the information . Not long after this , Mama received a third set of visitors , as Jedi Masters Obi - Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos arrived under orders from the Jedi Council to retrieve Ziro for the Republic . Vos , a headstrong Master , made a terrible first impression when he burst through Mama ' s front door after slicing it apart with his lightsaber and subsequently expressed his revulsion of the elderly Hutt . Kenobi , however , apologized for the disturbance . Mama was less than pleased over the repeated and unpleasant visits , and gave the Jedi the information they desired as well . The Jedi left in a hurry , leaving Mama to bemoan her demolished doorway . Reaching his father ' s tomb on Teth , Ziro retrieved the datapad containing the incriminating evidence against the Council . He now planned to turn it over to the Republic in exchange for both immunity and the Council ' s dissolution . Snootles , however , pulled a blaster on her lover , and revealed that she was now working for his nephew , Jabba . Ziro was horrified by her betrayal and begged for his life , but she enacted revenge for his previous treachery and shot him in the chest , killing him . Behind the scenes . First appearing in the episode " Hunt for Ziro , " Mama was voiced by Angelique Perrin . Mama ' s character was partly inspired by the character Pearl , a massively obese from the 1998 film .
