     Jabba was born to Zorba the Hutt, one of the top clan leaders. Zorba taught Jabba about crime, smugglers, and how to manipulate the law.
     At the ripe old age of 600 years and weighing one thousand kilograms, Jabba moved to Tatooine. He converted a spaceport at Mos Eisley into his house. It was the center of his crime empire, and heavily guarded. Many people worked for Jabba. One of his favorite employees was Salacious Crumb, who made Jabba laugh by mimicking visitors.
     He employed Han Solo and his ship (including chewbacca) to smuggle spices. Well one time, just as Solo came out of hyperspace, he was greeted by Imperials, wanting to board his ship. Solo jettisoned (dumped) the spices, which made Jabba put a price out on Solo's head. The bounty hunters started to look for him, and Boba Fett found him. Solo was froze in carbonite, and Jabba finnally got his prize, and put it on his wall.
     Han's friends came to save him, and they eventually succeed in getting Han back. In the process they kill Jabba The Hutt and friends, on his Sail Barge.
