convinced that Luke skywalker did his whole dramaticass entrance to Jabbaās palace because he hated the dude. this isnāt just his dramatic skywalker blood, thereās gotta be malice in his veins. Jabba was a drug runner, water hoarder, gang leader, slave-owner, Luke probably saw friends fall to the slug, whether it be sold as slaves, forced to work for him, get addicted to drugs, Jabba probably threatened his uncle and aunt. I bet there were times Luke stood up to him, or at least tried to, at the very least heād give the slug a stinkeye whenever he came around.
And now comes a time he gets to stand up to Jabba to free one of those friends that fell under his influence. So he stands up to this fucking slug of a person and speaks in English when he can speak Huttese. This is why he falls when he can sense Jabba wanting to pull the trigger to the trapdoor. This is why he fights the rancor and lets himself be taken prisoner. So he can take down all of Jabba on the sand dunes, so Leia can take down Jabba herself, and so maybe then, when Jabbaās watching the life flash before his eyes as the chain tightens, maybe Jabba will remember the farm boy that told him heād be killed not by his hands, but by the wrong person heād enslave. By a little boy that told him he hopes he dies by his own slaveās hands, by his own house, by his own greed and pride and gluttony. So as when Leia ends his life, ends his soul, brings him down by the blood of her hands and the grit in her teeth; he can bring down his empire and all he stands for.
