Empire is actually quite literal too.

While their organized crime was the normal illegal and semi hidden type through a huge percentage of the galaxy they did also have worlds they literally were the legitimate and direct government for.

Some of the city states in Italy history do fit fairly well to this.

Yeah but he stayed after getting his payday... probably for the girl though...

Will too... if watch it you will.

Kinda, yes. While not all are kingpins, the Hutts in both canons are famous for being crime bosses. Besides Jabba we know of Gardulla and after Jabba's Death The Twins, his cousins.

There's also wannabes like Ziro, Jabba's Brother.

The new Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is all about the other Hutts. Twins took over the Hutt empire after Jabba died, and they recruit the Mandalorian to track down and rescue their cousin who was kidnapped as a child. It got mixed reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

At least in the movies, there's only one Hutt empire, with a bit of a power struggle within the Hutt family. Sounds like the twins were eager to take over in the power vacuum when Jabba died. Even the Resistance has to work with them occasionally because of the powerful connections their family has.

Donny the Hutt.
