Jabba's Fat Dancer...

I feel like a lot of things that I've read make that fat dancer Jabba had seem like she was a victim of circumstance, and really quite a "good" person.  However, in the films she is portrayed as anything BUT a victim.  She's shown flirting with various members of the court, and she smiles and points while that green dancer begs for her life...Then she is the first one mocking and laughing from above when that slave finally gets dumped for trying to get away.  Seems like she was quite the opposite of a victim.  Seemed like she fit right in with Jabba's lot. 

The sheer awesomeness of this thread needs to be celebrated with an equally awesome pic!

I just found this one after searching for "ballerina" in google ;)

Insanely enough I think I know that artist (Botero).  And she does have a slight resemblance to the one in this thread, nice work :)  Even she looks a little more pleasant though than Jabba's whale of a woman. 

Many EU writers don't pay attention to background details when they go to write backstories for the minor film characters; this story http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/When_the_Desert_Wind_Turns:_The_Stormtrooper%27s_Tale is a good example of that.

If we were to follow the EU by the time Luke got into Jabba's Palace in ROTJ, Jabba should have been dead already. It seems everyone in there wanted him dead.

Her name was Claire?

 I dont recall any EU writing about fat dancer, but it's possible she fits into my interpretation of just about everyone in Jabba's court... she's STONED OUT OF HER MIND!

Why do you think they're all passed out on the floor when Leia comes in? It's a vice den.

She danced like crap and God its scary to watch! Jabba must enjoy the old fat girls in his private chamber.

If you read the EU, u would fine that everything in ROTJ takes place six months after ESB. And i believe it was Bib Fortuna that was always plotting to kill Jabba.

Pfft, like you don't know.
