Editorial Note: Jabba Desilijic Tiure, or Jabba the Hutt, from George Lucas's space opera film saga Star Wars had a formative influence on me, but mostly because of Princess Leia Organa (played by Carrie Fisher) who was not only one of the Rebel Alliance’s greatest leaders, fearless on the battlefield and dedicated to ending the tyranny of the Empire, and the sister of Luke Skywalker, but also very, very cute. I hesitate before offering the following funnies, because of my great respect for these figures of my childhood, but humour must prevail.
Even Jabba needed to unwind at the beach.
Before Star Wars, Jabba had a role in a minor Swedish pop band.
But Jabba's pop singing career did not end with Abba...
And he became very wealthy with his Muffin Top range...
