But, as I pointed out, Twi'Leks are more agile than Humans (most of the SW strippers were Twi'Lek rather than Human, and any club is always going to hire the best dancers) and they have longer lifespans than Humans. (Bib Fortuna was at Jabba's side when Annie Skywalker was fixing up pods and was still at his side and not looking particularly old nearly 30 years later when Luke came knocking.)

Pretty clear who's taken the years better...

Lifespan isn't everything.
Most hutts are on nal hutta and other planets away from the republic and empire in thier own system whereas Humans are everywhere.
Humans basically dominat the galaxy, Palpatine ruled the Empire and he was Human.The majority of Jedi are Human and the heros of Star Wars are Human (Luke Skywalker, Padme, Anakin, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leia, Han Solo!)
Really? Personally, I'd've considered an extended lifespan to be an advantage as it would allow someone to learn more.
I'd agree that the heros of Starwars were mostly Human (Yoda, Chewie, Artoo even *shudder* 3-PO were not Human. Nor were the *shudder* Ewoks* that WTF pwned Imperial Forces (Humans) ) but, as for the Jedi, the PT showed that there were many non-Human Jedi in the Order. The majority of the Council were non-Human.
In terms of the greatest accomplishments. Humans. Yes the Rakata ruled the galaxy for some 20 000 years, but since their all gone, they don't count for much.
Palpatine-Human. Conquered galaxy.
Vader-Human. Could've been twice as powerful as Palpatine.
Luke-Human/God. No need to explain.
Exar-Human. Shouldn't have to explain.
Revan-Human. Beloved and once overrated, but still pretty "up there."
Empire-Humans. Proven to be the most powerful and successful, albeit short-lived, force ever to have existed in the galaxy. All humans, one excpetion-Thrawn.
The primary Jedi that could successfully counter the Vong (who almost replaced humans as the best)-Human.
And yes, we all know Ragnos and the Ancient Sith could've wtfpwnd everyone, but: races that are extinct are obviously not superior, since they're... all dead.
True humans don't live that long, but when it comes to sheer numbers, and dispersity, humans beat out EVERYONE.

It was, but not because of multicultural ethnic quotas. The Jedi on the Council were there for their merits, not to represent their species. In the versions of the Council seen in the PT, there were often two members of the same species present. If that was due to multicultural ethnic quotas, then there would only have been one of each species. By the same token, the Council at the end of RotS can hardly be used to illustrate Human superiority through their numbers, because Obi-Wan (and certainly Anakin) were only on the Council through plot necessity.
I still say Twi'leks are superior to Humans, given their longer lifespans, and noted agility (going back to my point about the majority of Alien Dancers being Twi'lek rather than Humans)

Unless anyone can bring anything new to the table, cause nothing on this thread seems to come close to this godlike race. They have force sensitive biotechnology that can bend space and travel through time. They're not entirely a peaceful race either as they kill slavers. It's only their preference for solitude that makes them so inactive within the franchise.
