They should have used Bill Paxton at the end of WEIRD SCIENCE instead.

You're right! Jabba was at least intelligent and competent. Evil to the core, but you can't deny the man knew how to run an empire.

Jabba hosted a race people wanted to watch.

We have to work on voter turnout, which is going to be more difficult this year because #MAGA has declared war on free & fair #Elections. #Republicans are now cheating behind the scenes, but don’t let them keep you away from the polls on election day. #VoteBlue2026

Right? Jabba was meant to be a gangster, but he wasn't really meant to be a war-mongering fascist, let alone a religio-fascist of any sort. Equating the one disgusting slug to the other does seem rather unfair to Jabba.

I feel like this should be Stephen miller or Russell Vought.

"Hey dudes!" (One of my favourite films ever..) Chet was such a terrific character

I do enjoy that trump is the kind of guy that having fallen from a tree, he doesn't freefall to the ground, instead he hits every branch on the way down.

Them::: Star wars is the best movie ever made. There's nothing anybody can do to ruin that for me Leftists:::

Trump reminds me more of Pizza The Hut than Jabba The Hut.

“I knew Jabba the Hutt, and you sir, are no Jabba the Hutt”

How could people vote for such a tiny little man ... twice?
-
At least it seems Jabba's business enterprises were quite successful and reasonably well run.. until certain disruptive elements showed up 😂
-
Very true. The Hutts are a proud family of criminals. 🤣

If he’s Jabba, I miss Carrie Fisher now more than ever

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com 🤣LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"😅

Jabba was a wonderful human being. Han Solo said so.

For sure. Jabba had some morals and paid his employees
