He is about 600 years old,4 a Hutt crime lord and gangster who employs a retinue of criminals, bounty hunters, smugglers, assassins and bodyguards to operate his criminal empire. In his palace on the desert planet Tatooine, he keeps a host of entertainers at his disposal: slaves, droids and alien creatures. Jabba has a grim sense of humour, an insatiable appetite, and affinities for gambling, slave girls and torture. He emits 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 jester, the Kowakian monkey-lizard Salacious B. Crumb, must make the Hutt crime lord laugh once a day, every day, or Jabba will eat him. Salacious B. Crumb was portrayed by Tim Rose and voiced by Mark Dodson. A Kowakian monkey-lizard in Jabba the Hutt’s court. Rose’s antics controlling the Crumb puppet led to an increase in the character’s prominence. Bib Fortuna is a male Twi’lek from the planet Ryloth who serves as Jabba the Hutt’s majordomo. Bib Fortuna was portrayed by Michael Carter and voiced by Erik Bauersfeld.
