Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Director Guillermo del Toro has confirmed his involvement in a Star Wars movie focused on the rise and fall of Jabba the Hutt. Although the development and cancelation of a Jabba movie has been known history for quite some time, it's only recently that Del Toro's involvement has been revealed.
The news of a Jabba the Hutt movie was confirmed in 2017, though it wasn't long before it was canceled. With Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars IP only being a few years old at the time, many of their movie ideas never left the development stage. However, a Jabba the Hutt movie from Guillermo del Toro would have certainly been very dynamic and intriguing.
According to Del Toro, it certainly seems as though he and his collaborators had a large amount of the movie planned out: “We designed a great world and great stuff. We learned. So, you can never be ungrateful with life. Whatever life sends you, there’s something to learn from it." While Del Toro seems to have made his peace with the movie's cancelation, it's possible scripts were written and concept art created before the movie was axed.
If anyone could have made a successful Star Wars movie starring what's essentially a giant slug puppet, Guillermo del Toro was certainly the right call. Likewise, there's no doubt that Del Toro would have captured the true villainy of Jabba the Hutt, the merciless and renowned crime boss who held the entire Outer Rim in an iron grip for centuries, one who fed monsters in his basement those who displeased him with a booming laugh that would strike fear into the hearts of his victims.
