Zutmore was a Snivvian known to cheat her family and lovers. When her deceitful ways were revealed, her family abandoned her on Tatooine. She could often be seen at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina sitting in a stupor, reflecting on her past. She was also sometimes mistakenly called "Rachalt Hyst", but was still referred to as "Zutmore" by the bartender Ackmena. Like all Snivvians, she was nicknamed "Snaggletooth" by other species.
Behind the scenes[]
In 1978, the Kenner toy company created a figure of the Snivvian, Zutton. The first version wore a blue outfit and was the same size as a regular action figure. It was released with the Sears Cantina Adventure Playset. A second, revised version with a red outfit and shorter legs was released as an individually packaged action figure. The first version was labeled "Blue Snaggletooth" and became a very rare figure. The package of the second figure included a picture of Zutmore from the Holiday Special. This seemed to imply that the Snivvian in The Star Wars Holiday Special was the same Snivvian, Zutton, that appeared in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. However, Zutton has a different appearance than the Snivvian in the Holiday Special, and it was decided to split the appearances into separate characters.[3]
To add to the confusion, in 2001, Hasbro produced a figure under the name "Zutton," but the figure actually resembles Zutmore.[4] Around the same time, Decipher identified Zutmore as "Rachalt Hyst" for its Star Wars Customizable Card Game set, Tatooine Limited. Later sources, including the article Rogues Gallery: You're Barred! in Star Wars Insider 144, returned to the name from the Holiday Special script: "Zutmore."[3]
