Star Wars goes queer: Jabba's lisping, purple uncle, Ziro the Hutt

''Zero, Jabba's uncle, originally spoke in Hutt-ese, like Jabba and then he had a different sluggish voice just like Jabba, and then George [Lucas] one day was watching it and said 'I want him to sound like Truman Capote.' He actually said that and we were like 'Wow!... He's of questionable [sexuality] at least as a slug. They tell me that these slugs can be either male or female depending. That's something I guess that slugs and snails do.''

Dave Filoni, director of "The Clone Wars" speaking about a new character who is being touted as the first gay character on Star Wars, and said to be a favorite among the new animated series' crew. (MTV Movies)
