VILLAIN OF THE DAY: JABBA THE HUTT

Today's "Villain of the Day" is
JABBA THE HUTT

Obese Slug.
Vile Gangster.
Slimy piece of worm-ridden filth.
Supporter of the Performing Arts.

Jabba the Hutt embodies characteristics such as vice, lust, greed, and gluttony. The character amuses himself by torturing and humiliating his subjects. He surrounds himself with scantily-clad slave girls of all species, chaining many of them to his dais. None of the residents of his palace are safe from his desire to dominate and torture. Jabba would send even his most loyal servants and prized possessions to their deaths. For example, the Twi'lek slave dancer Oola is fed to the rancor monster because she failed to satisfy his lust. ("She's a Slut! Bunggg!!" --Jay, from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. 'Natch.)

Jabba the Hutt's physical appearance is as grotesque as his character and reinforces his personality as a criminal and deviant. The character has an unmistakable smell: "The Hutt's lardaceous body seemed to periodically release a greasy discharge, sending fresh waves of rotten stench" into the air. His "swollen tongue" drips with saliva as he feeds on creatures that resemble frogs and maggots. Jabba's appetite is insatiable and he is not discriminatory about his diet. For example, his court jester, the Kowakian monkey-lizard Salacious Crumb, must make the Hutt crime lord laugh once a day, every day, or Jabba theatens to eat him.

Currently, Jabba has a HUGE reward offered for the death of his imposter, last seen in A New Hope Special Edition and The Phantom Menace.

"HUH-HUHH, HUH-HUHHH"
