I'm back on Tatooine to follow Luke and his friends to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt where he being held captive as a frozen statue in the wall. So far the plan seems to be working. Princess Leia has disguised herself as a bounty hunter and she has just unfrozen Han from his prison. But wait! It's not going to be that easy right? The chapter stops there till I get back into the story...(commercial break time?)
Meanwhile let's talk about Jabba the Hutt. He didn't have much of a role in episode 1 but we saw him in the grandstand as Anakin was racing his pod. Maybe they didn't have a voice for his character in that movie.
The writer did a good job describing how Jabba looks like just as in the movies. Repulsive, snakelike skin that is covered in grease...a body with no neck, reptilian yellow slit eyes...no legs but a tapered end that looked like dough...
I can't wait for the part when Princess Leia strangles him with her chains. One by one, Luke's friends are captured and made into slaves...when will Luke step in to kill that beast in the chamber below? Probably when I read the next chapter. Stay tuned....
