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.
