Revision as of 04:48, 6 August 2003 by Wampa Jabba (talk | contribs) (Corrected Han Solo Kessel adventure)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Jabba the Hutt is a character in the Star Wars movies.
Jabba is of the Hutt race, and like most of his species, he is a gangster. Hutts are a large slug-like race with thick, leathery skin, human-like arms, large dead-black eyes, and wide mouths. An adult Hutt may weigh in excess of several tons. The species displays apparent sexual dimorphism, with the males being larger than the females.
Prior to Episode 4 (A New Hope), Jabba sent Han Solo on a Kessel run for some spice. However Han was going to be boarded so he was forced to dump the spice to save his skin. Jabba then demanded the price of the cargo from Han. When the smuggler failed to pay him back, he put a price on Han's head. Greedo attempted to collect the bounty, but was killed for his efforts; the bounty was eventually collected, between Episodes 5 and 6, by Boba Fett.
In Episode 6, Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker entered Jabba's palace on Tatooine to free Han Solo.
