Can the Hutts create a Large Army?

They got resources. They run the galactic underworld. There is lots of well trained Bounty Hunters. Plus with their immense amount of credits they could hire Mercenaries.

Whatchoo think?

I never really thought about that, I guess they could if they really wanted to, they personally would be able to do nothing. And there are only a certain number of good bounty hunters, so they may not get too far.

im sure the empire respected the power and influence of ganglords and thus their autonomy. vader even acknowledges the empire's cooperation, even though they exist outside the empire's jurisdiction, and helps them as we see when he turns over han solo to boba fett.

so the real question would be: would the empire have dared to cross the hutts?
answer imho: no. there would be nothing to gain and very useful hired hands to lose. there would be nothing at all to gain.

Hutts? I only seen two of them. pretty small army

Would it be a slug army?

They wouldn't move very fast.

What would they get out of it?

Unlimited Power!!!!!!!!

😂

Or maybe they'd loose weight

Either one I am sure works well for them.

Then they'd lose all credibility.

An army os slugs would be a sight. Surely they had some form of combat on their slimehole homeworld.

THen again, a few chains to choke them would wipe them out. Just send out a couple barely dressed women.

They surely do have enough influence to create an army. though undoubtedly that is not their main concern, only with trade and business profits.

I'm sure they would gladly send their offsprings to Kamino to be cloned, if they're paid huge sums for it.

Money. Money. Money.

Abba the Hutt?

Well let's say they CAN build an army....To whom do you think they'll impose a bigger threat?

The Empire or the Republic?

slightly less for the empire since they could simply blow up tattooine and every other hutt planet.

Good question, WD.

In Expanded Universe, the Hutts used to be warlords and tore the crap out of their homeworld because of it, and they eventually all settled into the underworld of things because the Republic threatened to tear them a new one.

But that's EU. w00t
