8. JABBA THE HUTT
“If I told you half the things I’ve heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you’d probably short-circuit!”
"•C-3PO to R2-D2
Well, this character is special, as you won’t see him in a battle, or with a lightsaber. But he has other abilities that make him a dangerous villain. His full name is Jabba Desilijic Tiure and he runs a crime organization on Tatooine.
Jabba the Hutt is cruel and practices illegal activities like slavery for fun. We first saw him in Return of the Jedi where he attempted to take revenge on Han Solo.
Guillermo del Toro expressed this idea for a Star Wars Anthology movie that would explore the character's origins, and here’s what he came up with:
"I would do the sort of "˜Godfather"˜ saga the Jabba the Hutt had to go through to gain control. One, because it's the character that looks the most like me, and I like him. I love the idea of a
Hutt type of mafia, a very complex coup, you know? "¦ I just love the character."
