Jabba was a poser who lived in his parents' basement

If Jabba has a palace, why does he live in the dungeon? All he does is lay around in bed all day smoking space weed and hanging out with his loser friends.

If Jabba lives in a basement what is the Rancor living in?

You are transparent. I see many things. I see basements within basements.

“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

The more I think about RotJ, the more I think that this is actually believable, even if Jabba isn’t literally living with his parents. As far as we know, Jabba may not have any actual power in the galaxy. Maybe he’s just been set up for life by his wealthy family, who have given him his own desert hangout and enough spare money to give him the illusion of real power.

But we can’t turn back. Fear is their greatest defense. I doubt if the actual security there is any greater than it was on Aquilae or Sullust. And what there is is most likely directed towards a large-scale assault.

Haha, like some of those ridiculous Saudi princes you see in the news from time to time. That’s actually a hilarious idea and I love it!

I used to imagine Jabba’s sexual preference for humanoid females was a source of consternation for the rest of his family, so they put him away on an insignificant backwater planet to avoid further embarrassment.

Jabba. Ultimate nepo baby 😉

Though there are a number in the Star Wars universe:

Palpatine (terrible grandfather of a nepo baby)
Vader (terrible father of nepo babies)
Padmé (regal nepo baby)
Luke Skywalker (nepo baby)
Princess Leia (nepo baby squared)
Boba Fett (clone nepo baby)
Rey (nepo grand-daughter)
Kylo Ren (angry nepo baby)
Grogu (secret Yoda+Yaddle nepo baby)
Bo Katan (Mando nepo baby)
Threepio (manufactured nepo baby, built by terrible father of nepo babies)

Because he’s like a cool rich friend that throws parties and hires live bands to party in his basement. One time back in the 80s he got Sy Snootles to show up and she did a live performance of Lapti-Nek, everyone was so high. I think this one chick was eaten by a rancor, and Boba Fett was there maybe. It was wild. Then in the morning after everyone woke up he let us hang out on his party yacht.
