When confronted at his home palace after managing to capture Solo, Jabba is seen surrounded by a large host of extraterrestrial acquaintances, such as various fellow criminals, entertainers such as the Max Rebo Band, and slave girls, one of which Princess Leia is briefly made before ultimately killing her captor in the midst of a climactic battle sequence. In Solo: A Star Wars Story, a previously deleted scene involving Jabba the. Hutt was added to the 1997 theatrical re-release and subsequent home media releases of StarWars.

Chained to Jabba, she is forced to wear her iconic metal bikini.

Luke kills the rancor and he, Han, and Chewbaca are condemned to be devoured by the Sarlacc.
