Mama/Legends

Who's going to fix my door. "The one time you show up, its dinner time."

- Mama to her son Ziro Mama was an elder Hutt and mother to Ziro Desilijic Tiure, Zorba Desilijic Tiure, Jiliac Desilijic Tiron and Pazda Desilijic Tiure, and the grandmother of Jabba Desilijic Tiure. She lived in the middle of the swamps on Nal Hutta.

Biography
During the Clone Wars, after her son, Ziro Desilijic Tiure, was freed by Sy Snootles from a cell on Nal Hutta after being imprisoned by the Hutt Grand Council, she was paid a visit from her Hutt son who was interested in "borrowing" her starship. He explained to her that he was being chased and he needed a way to get to the planet Teth. Mama agreed and allowed her son and Sy to take the ship. Little did she know that this was going to be the last time she saw her son alive. This, unfortunately for the Hutt mother, would not be the last visit she would get that night. After Ziro left, the bounty hunter Cad Bane and his droid, Todo 360, who had been tracking Ziro, arrived at Mama's hut and demanded to know where her son was going. She complied, as she was forced to do so, and provided the bounty hunter the location of her son's destination.

Later, the obese Hutt was visited by two Jedi - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, who were also tracking Ziro. Unfortunately, they made a terrible first impression as Vos burst through her front door after slicing it up with his lightsaber and expressed his revulsion of the elderly Hutt. Obi-Wan, of course, apologized to her for the disturbance. Mama expressed her frustration about the line of visits that had occurred. After they received the information about Ziro's whereabouts, they left in a hurry. Unfortunately, Mama was left without a son, after he was betrayed and murdered by Sy Snootles on Teth.

Behind the scenes
First appearing in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode, "Hunt for Ziro," Mama was voiced by Angelique Perrin. A notable major retcon is "Mama" was said to have been the mother of many Desilijic‎ clan Hutts.

Mama's character was partly inspired by the character Pearl, a massively obese Vampire from the 1998 film, Blade.
