The first time I watched Return of the Jedi, I wondered how we were supposed to believe that a gelatinous, slimy mound of evil who could barely move around and wholly depended on sycophants to cater to his every whim could have possibly amassed such a fortune that he would inspire fear and be running things.

@BrianJopek Not sure if this is grossophobia, but I think it count as body shaming. Isn't there better stuff to criticize than his body? His fascist ideology and the whole system behind it; this kind of stuff. Let's topple the whole Empire.
@BrianJopek Now I'm remembering how Princess Leia ended his empire... Sweet thoughts.

Jabba the Hutt also had offworld support for his organized criminal syndicate that financed the trade in slaves

@BrianJopek Could you shove some quotes in there? Otherwise it reads rather like you're accusing Ms Clarence of being said mound of evil.

@BrianJopek The only missing element in the movie is, that Jabba doesn’t play golf 🏌️
And the physical resemblance is striking, too. 🎃🤡
Aug 23, 2026, 11:50 AM@BrianJopek the first time I heard DC Comics ran a storyline in which Lex Luthor was elected President of the United States, my initial reaction was, "that's utterly absurd, even for a comicbook".
@eigen @BrianJopek Same.
@BrianJopek I love this quote
