In the Star Wars galaxy, the first alien we meet from a species often becomes a guideline for their kind. Yoda was a powerful Force user, and every member of his species we’ve met since, from Yaddle to Grogu, is also powerful. A Twi’lek danced for Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi, so it became common knowledge that female Twi’leks were often entertainers, slaves, or both.
By the same token, Jabba the Hutt’s lazy, tyrannical crime lord has become the blueprint for the Hutts as a whole. Sure, The Clone Wars’ Ziro the Hutt was a colorful Truman Capote-inspired character, but most Hutts are like the powerful gangsters we see in The Book of Boba Fett. That wasn’t always true, however, as a Hutt from the old, non-canon Legends timeline proved to be an exception — at least briefly.
