Sorry, nope. The same thing could be said about ANY choking scene ever put in a movie - the difference between that and erotic asphyxiation (the reason David Carradine died) is that the choking is inflicted as a means to kill.

Leia wanted to kill Jabba. The end.

Although I never quite got how... was Jabba's neck at his back??

Well.... There's a bit of a sexual element between Leia and Jabba. Jabba wants Leia, makes her wear that bikini, licks her face... Leia is revolted. That's about as far as it gets, but it is sexual.

Yea, I just couldn't see how you could extend that to the choking scene - always looked to me like Jabba was rather distressed by it.

Makes me think of GoldenEye - when Famke Jenssen begins to choke that old fart, he seems pretty terrified and in pain (even though he'd liked it rough up until then), but then when Bond discovers his corpse, it has a stupid grin on its face :D
While comically absurd, they kinda made more of the whole innuendo thing, didn't they?

God, that movie's awesome. :D
