Star Wars: The saga’s most famous monster almost got the movie from Hellboy’s father

Last month, Guillermo del Toro played cat and mouse with Star Wars fans, teasing three letters about the saga movie he almost directed. Today, the Mexican spills the beans and reveals the identity of the character who would be at the center of his intergalactic adventure: crime lord Jabba the Hutt! Ultimately, it’s not that surprising for a filmmaker who has never hidden his love for monsters.

“It told the story of the rise and fall of Jabba the Hutt, so I was very happy.”says the director at Collider’s microphone. “We did a lot for this movie, but I don’t own the license, it’s not my money, and it ended up being one of the 30 scripts that never saw the light of day.”

“Sometimes I’m bitter, sometimes I’m not.”continues the man who recently revealed he’s never seen a sequel to one of his films. “I always say to my team: It was a good practice, guys. We have created a wonderful world, wonderful things. We learned some things.”“

“There is no point in being ungrateful to life”Guillermo del Toro concludes philosophically. “No matter what life throws at you, you have to learn something from it. I trust the universe. When something goes wrong, I try to have a dialogue with myself. I ask why it didn’t happen. In my opinion, the more you swim against the tide of the world, the less true you are.” wishes.”

The villainous Jabba the Hutt character, whose unique voice was created from cheese fondue, first appeared on screen in Return of the Jedi. The movie, in which we can see this creature, which looks like a large slug, captures Han Solo and fights Luke Skywalker.
