   It's reported that George Lucas, in one of his few artistic inputs to   
   the movie, WANTED Ziro to be an imitation of Truman Capote.  (Since he's   
   a decadent socialite, you see.)   
   Yes, as Yahoo!Movies summarized (in their "Top Ten OTHER Nuke-the-Fridge   
   Moments of 2008)....Capote the Hutt.  Breakfast at Tatooine.

   And even given that George Lucas in 2002 was one of that small group of   
   deluded execs who thought The Samurai Jack Guy was the "wave of the   
   future"...   
   It was still hard to tell whether the Version 1.0 cartoons were supposed   
   to be taken seriously, when we have actual attempts at spinoff canon,   
   mixed with a Yoda drawn in "funny-CN" style who moves like Mojo Jojo.  -_-
