Jabba
on the Dais
I like this rock tribute |
| I stuck my link on a Bomis
webring dedicated to Jabba - although my impression is that our best
days are over, what with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings - and anyway,
most people prefer heroes - only a few of us seem to identify with
villains! |
Wouldn't it have been cool to work on ROTJ if
David Lynch had directed it! See a graphical expression of
this rumour here,

| How cool to find a birthday greeting on Lars' site here
(and if you don't speak Danish, this is HR's translation:
A Birthday greeting.
I'm honored to inform that one of the greatest, most famous and best
remembered puppeteers to ever have performed Jabba's left arm is turning
57 today.
His name is Toby Philpott, and his father was the first to ever do
puppeteering on tv. His mother was an actress.
When he was younger he travelled the world as juggler, magician, fire
eater and everything else he could think about
performing.
His job in Return Of The Jedi was to control Jabba's left arm, tongue and
body movements.
He now, besides a son, has a huge fan following, and even though he
describes his part of the Star Wars saga as being a minor part we should
always remember that without people like Toby
Philpott Jabba had never come to life and eaten that frog. |
Another birthday page at Toomuchtimeonmyhands
(well at least it's honest!), This was originally in Useless
Facts Issue 44 |
I was at the Dark Side Convention in early
September, met some great people - see their site here,
and I loved Google's translation of the blurb for me: "One
can probably call Toby Philpot one, which lets the dolls predominantly
dance.
It played a multiplicity of roles in which it into the skin of the
characters to usually slip had, e.g. Jabba the hat."

Attakus
made 750 large Jabba the Hutt statues, and they sell for, like, $800 -
1200. I signed one of these in Paris. |
| My signatures seem to be on sale for cash £25
(!) here
(I have to say these are from my first batch of pictures,
and the quality isn't as good as my current ones) - but can simply
be traded here |
