About Jabba the Hutt

The original script to A New Hope describes Jabba as a “fat, slug-like creature with eyes on extended feelers and a huge ugly mouth.

Jabba Desilijic Tiure, or simply Jabba the Hutt. Jabba is of the Hutt race and like most of his species, a gangster. Hutts are a large slug-like race with thick leathery skin, human-like arms, large black cat-like eyes, and a wide mouth.

Jabba the Hutt was played by actor Declan Mulholland in scenes cut from the 1977 release of Star Wars.

That character was filmed as a fully costumed actor suggests that director George Lucas had changed his mind about Jabba being a slug.

Bring me Solo and the Wookiee. They will all suffer for this outrage!

In Return of the Jedi, Jabba is portrayed by a one-ton puppet that took three months and half a million dollars to construct. While filming the movie, the puppet had its own makeup artist.

There is some honor among thieves, eh? Jabba seemed to be loyal to his fellow kin, although we wouldn’t really put our money on it, since here, he was obviously weighing options. He might help you against a fellow Hutt, but please keep it a secret, okay?

Jabba had a small cameo in The Phantom Menace where he fell asleep during the famous Pod Race. Bib Fortuna was seen lurking nearby as well.

This one is actually tied to the former one, as it illustrates Jabba’s personality. He was often like a Roman emperor in a gladiator arena and he did not hesitate to abuse that power.

I shall reward each of you greatly. One of you shall become my new majordomo, my right-hand man to assist me and to run the palace while I’m away. The other… shall have an even greater reward, one that history will remember.

The puppet required seven puppeteers to operate, making it one of the largest ever used in a motion picture.

Jabba the Hutt’s death in Return of the Jedi was suggested by scriptwriter Lawrence Kasdan. The film’s director, Richard Marquand suggested that Leia strangle him.

But, in the meantime, I shall thoroughly enjoy the pleasure of your company Leia.

You have stolen something very valuable from me so I, in turn, have taken everything from you.

This one shows that Jabba, despite his enormous experience, could also be surprised from time to time. Whether it was a trick or not is not that important really, since the trick worked.

People often remark about that laughing little critter who he kept by his side in Jedi. He was Jabba’s court jester of a sort and is known by the delicious
name of Salacious Crumb.
