Jabba the Hutt

Jabba the Hutt was a Hutt gangster and crime lord who ran his own criminal empire on the planet Tatooine for several decades. 
== Biography ==
By the year 32 BBY, Jabba had formed a criminal empire which operated in slavery, smuggling, arms dealing and gambling. As such, Jabba the Hutt often attended the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace. 
=== Galactic Civil War ===
At some point, Jabba put a bounty on Han Solo after the smuggler "dropped Jabba's cargo" at the sight of an Imperial ship. In 0 BBY, Jabba sent Greedo to retrieve the debt that Solo owed him. However, Greedo was killed by Solo in the Mos Eisley Cantina. A few moments after, Jabba confronted Solo about the debt, to which they made a deal and Solo promised to not let Jabba down.
In 3 ABY, Han Solo had still failed to pay back Jabba, who in turn sent Boba Fett to capture him. Fett struck a deal with the Empire and successfully had Solo frozen in carbonite. Fett took the frozen Solo back to Jabba's palace on Tatooine.
One year later, Jabba came into possession two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO. These droids were in fact part of a scheme to rescue Solo. Soon after, Leia Organa arrived disguised as Boushh, bringing Chewbacca as her "prisoner". Organa freed Solo from carbonite during the night, but they were captured by Jabba, who used Organa as his slave dancer and was chained to his throne while Solo was impriosned.
Not long after, Luke Skywalker arrived and demanded that Jabba free Solo, Organa, Chewbacca and the droids. However, after Skywalker managed to kill Jabba's Rancor, the group was sentenced to death in the Sarlacc Pit. 
=== Death ===
As the prisoners were about to be executed R2 revealed Luke's hidden lightsaber and the Jedi began attacking Jabba's forces. The other prisoners also began to fight back and Solo was able to cause the defeat of Boba Fett by accident. During the ensuing chaos, Organa was able to use the chain she was bound in to strangle Jabba to death. Shortly after, the group escaped, leaving Jabba's forces in panic as his sail barge exploded.
