Jabba and Watto simply weren't "weak-minded" in the sense that would make them vulnerable to Jedi manipulation. Watto's hardships might have made him more vulnerable by the time of AotC, but it's impossible to say for sure. It's not like we heard the classic "Force rumble" when Anakin was questioning him.
I'm using the official facts from WotC (which is where I get all of my facts from the EU, since I cannot stand the writing styles of the authors they use), it states that the Hutts are not immune to will-based force powers, but highly resistant. The Toydarians are totally immune.

Jabba's impunity to the Jedi mind trick could be because he was a wise...whatever. But Watto? Watto was pretty easily tricked in TPM, without the Force being involved. He obviously isn't very wise. There probably is an alternate explanation other than total immunity, but I can't seem to think of one at the moment.
The gift of Superman is the same in his universe as ours. It's not about his powers, his costume, his persona, it's about the using the gifts he has to help people. We all have gifts too, maybe we can't leap tall buildings in a single bound, but maybe we're good with math, maybe we're charming. We can use our gifts -whatever they are- to help people. We just need to make that choice. And Superman shows us that it's possible.

Seeing that the collective is one, there would be no leader for them, just the collective mind. So I think that it is safe to say that there is no single Borg ruler, per se.

Not so thats what the Borg Speakers are for.
But the Borg queen has been killed multiple times. I think it is safe to assume that the queen herself doesn't control it, that or she has multiple bodies connected to a single brain. But then again, the entire collective is 'multiple bodies connected to a singluar mind'.
