Jabba's Palace

[Plomeek Broth]

Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by mobster Jabba the Hutt, his minions, and his palace. I know there is a good book called Tales of Jabba's Palace which I have read, but I wanted to know what are some good reference books or tales concerning old Jabba and his palace or his merry band of henchman. There may be some layout plans of his palace in one of those cross-section books. Does anyone know other tales I can get concerning him and his cohorts or where I can get detailed info on his palace and the inner workings of his glorious regime?

This book has a 3D cutaway of Jabba's palace, along with the spaceport cantina and other locations.

You've probably already seen it but the Wookiepedia entry is pretty good and has the cutaways.

Okay, so what I want to know is, does Jabba the Pallace live in a hut?

 

[Smiley]

The Han Solo Trilogy by A.C. Crispin has plenty of Jabba and his fellow Hutts in it. Darksaber opens with Luke and Han going to Jabba's palace.

Thanks for all the helpful info so far, folks!

Don't forget Jabba helped create the ultimate geek fantasy of our time with Leia in the slave outfit!

I remember as a kid thinking Jabba's Palace was a genuinely scary and dangerous place.

Now... not so much. lol

Eh... I'd take a good Trek jumpsuit, Padme's Geonosis garb or those natty black leather outfits from the X-Men movies over Leia's metal bikini any day of the week.

 

[MarianLH]

Me too. I'm sure that thing chafed like hell.

Slave Leia outfit kills all of those! I think there was even a Friends episode where Jennifer Aniston dressed in the Slave Leia outfit (never saw it)!

The bikini was awesome, it's just too bad it wasn't the cuter Carrie Fisher of ANH wearing it instead.

I won't deny the catsuit appeal, but have you ever been here? (probably not that workplace safe)

Sorry, nope. It might be different in person, but as far as 2D is concerned, IMO, seeing the rough form but having to guess at the underneath is far more interesting.

 

[Plomeek Broth]

Were the slaves at Jabba's palace merely dancers or were they used for physical relations for the Hutt as well?

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

EU decided the Hutts were asexual or some shit, making it all even more murky.

There is a -- comic book that is of dubious quality written about further exploits on Jabba the Hutt. Find also the CCG game by Decipher, as they released an entire set on his palace and has some interesting photos of aliens.

Hutts are hemaphroditic. gender's a point of view...

Now... not so much. lol

I always thought that it was a wretched hive of scum and villiany.

I thought that was Mos Eisley. Jabba does seem disorganized and prone to attacks, but I think if we lived in the SW universe and were sent there we would be very afraid.

Star Wars Legos II lets you play through a couple of missions set in Jabba's palace.
