Gardulla

Gardulla the Hutt is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. She is depicted as a female member of the Hutt species and a figure associated with the Hutt clans on the desert planet Tatooine.

In the Star Wars Legends material, Gardulla is described as a rival to Jabba the Hutt and a matriarch who wielded influence within the Tatooine underworld. She is presented as part of the broader history of Hutts contending for power and territory in the Outer Rim, illustrating the competitive nature of Hutt politics during the era of the Galactic Republic.

Some Legends sources recount that Gardulla once owned Anakin Skywalker and his mother Shmi, a claim tied to a wager or arrangement within the Hutt-speaking crime networks. This backstory is not consistently depicted across sources and is not part of the current official canon.

In the contemporary canon established after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, Gardulla is rarely referenced and there are few detailed appearances. When mentioned, she is typically cited to provide context for the historical rivalries among Hutt clans on Tatooine rather than as a central figure in ongoing narratives.

Overall, Gardulla serves as a pointer to the complex history of Hutt clans and their influence on Tatooine, illustrating how rivalries among Hutts shaped the planet’s criminal and political landscape.
