Jabba The Hutt (Star Wars)

A not very elegant creature

As we can see on this figure, Jabba is not really a very graceful creature. He is a kind of big worm with two arms and a head that moves more or less by crawling, even if he actually moves quite little because of his huge belly. As in the movie, his skin is green with some orange touches. At the head level, he has big black eyes surrounded by wrinkles and from his big mouth protrudes his tongue and several streams of drool which show his insatiable appetite.

The leader of a large criminal organization

Jabba The Hutt is a well known character in the Star Wars universe. He appears for the first time in the third movie of the original trilogy (Return Of The Jedi) but is already mentioned in the two previous movies. He is the leader of a criminal organization living on Tatooine and has an army of assassins, smugglers and thieves as well as many droids and slaves for his entertainment. He has a price on Han Solo’s head after he forgot to pay him back for a shipment he was forced to dispose of after an Empire checkpoint. In Return Of The Jedi, Boba Fett manages to capture him and bring him back to Jabba. Luke and Leia are also taken prisoner while trying to save him but Leia manages to kill him thanks to the slave chains she was forced to wear.
