 Camp: Ziro the Hutt  Camper: Truman Capote
Ziro the Hutt (Jabba’s uncle) is causing a sensation for all the wrong reasons.
According to one movie blog, the character in the animated Clone Wars movie is “a gay stereotype that makes what Jar Jar Binks represented to the island of Jamaica look subtle by comparison”.
Ziro speaks in a high-pitched lisp, reminiscent of pint-sized pansy and novelist of genius Truman Capote.
“[W]ords cannot describe what a catastrophic clusterfuck his character is,” another critic gasped.
“I'm genuinely astonished he somehow made it onto the screen.”
Clone Wars director Dave Filoni says Ziro's sexuality is ambiguous because Hutts are hermaphrodites.
