The art duties on this issue are split between three artists Emilio Laiso, Roland Boschi and Marco Turini.
Pak fills his story with plenty of twists and turns to engage the reader, whilst portraying Jabba as a manipulative puppet-master who uses others as pawns to get achieve his goals.Īs a rather one-dimensional villain, Jabba is wisely relegated to the background as Pak focuses instead on the ‘marks’ who are being unwittingly played.
The way the different plot threads and factions come together is extremely reminiscent of an early Guy Ritchie film, and the resulting clash is extremely satisfactory. This one-shot comic from Greg Pak showcases Jabba’s devious side with a story that owes as much to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as it does Star Wars. A figure of greed and corruption, the Hutt has his slimy fingers in every deal going on in the Outer Rim of the galaxy.
Jabba the Hutt is one of my favourite characters from the original Star Wars Trilogy, nestled in his palace amongst the scum and villainy of the universe. Art by: Emilio Laiso, Roland Boschi & Marco TuriniĬhronology Placement: Set before the events of “ A New Hope”
