Zero the Hutt would be such an awesome band name if I was still twelve. And retarded.

We've had this discussion over at the movie's post-release thread. The way Lucas is antagonising his audience (or suffering from an epic meltdown) is hilarious.
And C3PO is definitely gay. I don't know why but I always thought of R2 not only as straight but as a playa. Maybe it's because -unlike 3PO- he's privy to the saga's secrets and schemes and actively participates in them.

I'm amused that this blatant textual scifi news arrived just after the interpretive WALL*E Advocate.

The girls love R2-D2.
C3PO is a fag. |

And since we've opened that can of worms:
Vader - S&M The Emperor - Pedophile Tarkin - Old queen Luke - Into incest Mon Mothma - Lesbian. Just look at that haircut Chewbacca - What's the opposite of bestiality?

I thought Zorba the Hutt was bad enough.

Artoo is definitely a straight-shooter. Just look at any Shabby Blue fanfic/fanart where he is depicted dutifully servicing Padme and Leia time and time again. Threepio keeps hoping to bring Artoo over to the other team but it ain't happening. And it probably freaks "goldenrod" out that Artoo continues to engage in unprotected interfaces with strange computers. Artoo's the original pimpbot.

Am I the only one who thinks Devin is being rather homophobic on this one?
I mean, no one is saying this Hutt us gay, George himself wanted him to sound like Capote NOT just a gay guy. Many strait people talk like Capote and many gay people talk like Clint Eastwood. I think this is just over reaching and I don't think Lucas derserves some extra scorn for this

There are straight people who talk like Capote?

But don;t you see? If straight people talk like Capote then the Hutt is not gay and Star Wars is still a safe retreat.

Not all, but the way a person talks does not immediately denote sexual orientation, and anyone who makes a judgment based solely on how they talk is being no different then people making assumptions based on the color of some one's skin.

I agree. Its just a stereotype. Most of the gay people I've met don't talk in high pitched lisps, but some of them do, even moreso when their around each other, or not in a work environment.
You can't say gays don't accept the stereotype though. |

If you're gonna have a Hutt speak English he should sound like a scattin' old school jazz man, not Mike Tyson. Devin, which alien characters are ripping on Jews. I've definitely seen the black, Japanese (Nemoidians seem more like Japanese Terror than Chinese Terror), Mexican/Greek (Watto), and Middle Easterners (the Sand People!), but I haven't caught a Jewish stereotype yet.

Then some one like Devin comes along, who loves to light a fire under people, with a Homo the Hutt article just to get people going, I am not a huge Lucas fan, but Devin usually tries harder to hide his riot inciting tripe, and I thought BS needed to be called.

No, and I could be quite wrong, I am aware of that, but nothing in your article gave me the impression that the character is anything but a voice.
If he was sucking off other Capote sounding Hutts then you would have a point, I just didnt get that vibe from what the Interview guy said and what you wrote.

I believe the other reasons for his apparent homosexual tendencies are he is purple and wears feathers.
Sounds gay to me. |

ETA: Picking up on this hardly qualifies Devin as homophobic. If that label applies to anyone here, it's Lucas, who probably thought the effect would be "hilarious" knowing full-well how it would be interpreted.

OK, but lets assume the vast majority of the public hasn't read the comics (I sure haven't).

No, it's pretty damn clear Watto is the jewish sterotype. Let's see: Cheap, small, big nosed, always looking to make a buck. Yup sounds jewish to me.

I would watch an entire movie based solely on this.
Also, one of the pod racers in Episode 1 sounded like he was speaking Spanish really fast. Maybe he was Mexican. Lando's co-pilot in Jedi was Chinese. The Rancor was Indonesian.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

As far as I know (and I don't want to look this up), Hutts aren't asexual, they're hermaphrodites that periodically change their gender identity. Maybe Ziro the Hutt is in transition. Or maybe Ziro enjoys being female so much that as a male he camps it up. Either way, I've put more thought into this than it deserves.

I also think his rampant anti americanisms are tantamount to treason.
The Millineum Falcon is clearly american made products, claimed to be the best and ALWAYS breaking! We should send the great pelican himself to Guantanemo Bay

But if you met a guy who talked like Truman Capote, your immediate reaction wouldn't be "I bet he can't get enough vaginas".

Point is: he likes purple, flowers, and was specifically altered to speak like a well-known gay man.
There's no such thing as bad publicity.

No, it really sounds like a mixture of Cartman with Capote. I thought Devin was exaggerating, but not at all.
