Star Wars: 10 Things From Legends That Need To Be Made Canon

Hutts may be monstrously fat and slow but they are also extraordinarily intelligent. As Jabba proved in Return of the Jedi, Hutts are capable of withstanding Jedi mind tricks.

In fact, one Hutt called Beldorion was so attuned to the Force, he became a Jedi Knight. Debuting in the novel, Planet of Twilight, Beldorion was sent to the world of Nam Chorios with his Padawan, Taselda, to perform a mission. But after being lured by the Dark Side, Beldorion became a Sith and enslaved the planet's denizens. Consuming the native droch insects extended Beldorian's life, allowing him to rule Nam Chorios for four centuries.

Now, you might be wondering how a morbidly obese slug could possibly be threatening. Although he does wield a lightsaber, Beldorion's true power is his ability to summon Force Storms. Similar to how The Emperor can shoot Force Lightning, this sinister Hutt can generate an electrical whirlwind with the Force, devastating anything it comes into contact with. Although he was ultimately vanquished by Princess Leia, fans hope this is not the last we have heard of the blackhearted Beldorion.
