I'm going to meet the man who built Jabba The Hutt next week.

[Berni]

Which has reminded me what has always bothered me about Jabba The Hutt.

Given that he is (let’s face it) a huge, slimy, slug-like creature, how was he able to rise to the head of a criminal empire?

I mean, he could use his brains and sociopathic tendencies later on, but at some stage surely he had to make his bones by being a trigger man, running protection rackets or whatever? Given which, I see his huge, slimy, slug-like nature being a significant obstacle. After all, if he’s asked to kill someone, they’d be able to escape simply by walking away at a normal pace. In fact, anyone even moderately agile would have been able to run around him and attack him from behind. Or you could take shelter in a small room – or a lift.

Even assuming he did succeed in his hit or whatever, how did he get away? He would be very slow and pretty easy to identify for witnesses.

Basically, I just don’t buy it.

I'm not convinced its real, b.

I've seen the full-size diorama of Han saving Luke on Hoth by sheltering them both in the still-warm belly of the Tauntaun you have in your living room.

It's a very moving, almost homo-erotic piece imo. :nod:

Witness Haqn Solo walking around the back of him in the remastered version, and them hamfistedly making han step on his tail.

But, in the whole star wars wider universe the Hutts are actually a dynasty of criminals so t may be he didnt have to come up in the criminal world, it could be a bit more nepotistic, like Jacob Rhys-Mogg, just less odious.

Here's the original shoot

were all watching at his home one afternoon when he came home.

Awkward-ish moment. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

[Berni]

And in the final version, he's a big slug and so, presumably, are all the other Hutts. This makes no sense.

Oh, I see what you mean.

Sorry.

[Classic Jorge]

All of the other Hutts are slugs, the truth is it's a bit of a mystery.

Unfortunately the amount of star wars info on the internet is rather sparse but everything you need to know to seem relatively knowledgeable on the subject can be found here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hutt

I had loads of little figures and everyfink.

However, I'm not one of these who thinks they're anything other than kids' films.

[Berni]

her oh-be-joyful to most of the cast and crew during those scenes. Good work costume designer imo.

[Berni]

taste and discernment.

Unfortunate ginger beard, though.

[Classic Jorge]

And then finding out many, many years later that he wasnt actually a puddlejumper after all.

Thanks LA

wd the pub (I actually listened to the first half of the cup game at home coz I was knackered - the radio is well ace when Alan Green isn't on it)

Star Wars starts with Episode IV. FACT.

[Classic Jorge]

There'll always be that feeling that you turned her, wont there?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Classic Jorge]

Though I thought two and three were massively underrated by the fanbois.

The cartoons are also rather good imo, kid defence again, honest.

[Classic Jorge]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Or the Lego ones?

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

To be fair, though, all the Bullochs were ginger and extremely pasty, so that could have put anyone off.

I may tell you about my friend (the top of whose head you can see in that still from Robin of Sherwood - he played Much the Miller's son) and Katie 'Oxo Mum' Bellingham. But it might put you off your lunch.

[Berni]

To an extent that it became off-putting and something of a chore, apparently.

[Classic Jorge]

I'm not poncing it up and calling it anime or animation, it's a cartoon.

Easily as watchable as Ulysses 31 or Mysterious Cities of Gold

[Classic Jorge]

And she turned out not to be a lady, in any sense of the word.

[Berni]

Not that there's anything wrong with it, you understand.

This was a friend, same house as "Marigold" funnily enough
