Yeah no one gaf about Jabba that much to want a film about him. That whole concept is laughable.

Plus the sexual degradation he put Leia and his other captives he chained like animals through was disgusting. Ofc that’d probably be the one thing men would enjoy watching.

Star Wars and it's baffling inclusion of sexual slavery into its properties that are in no way capable of handling the topic.

I would! He's the reason I watched Return of the Jedi a zillion times as a kid. Couldn't tell you why he intrigued me so much.

But I happen to be no one, so you're correct.

I read a Star Wars novel (The Hutt Gambit) where he was a character & it dealt with the crime syndicate he was a part of. I don't recall it being that interesting.

If del Toro wants to do something SW related I'm sure there are more interesting stories.

to be fair no one cares about anything star wars that isnt the core trilogy but it keeps on trucking. like andor, really? but it works if you got a plot.
