I was talking about Jabba the Hutt

No, you were talking about Daphne Vader, Darth's sister, who bears some assemblence to him under the mask but not his pneumonia, which he obtained later in his life as a dancer in smoke filled Spacebars(or Candybars?) where he endet up after the jedies had thrown him out and where he made his money by publicly displaying the real jedi-"laser-sword".
That's also, where he got his outfit, mask and all, but more interesting: what we know as the "laser-sword" is in fact just a phallocratic hommage to the orginal object.
Yes, THAT thing isn't talked about in the movies too much but it's fascinating because once erceted it shines brightly and allows it's owner to procreate even in total darkness, a significant benifit for someone with Darth's looks, Obi-Wan's monk-like atitude or yoda's speech defect.
(But this should not hide the fact that jedis still had to find most of theire descendants somewhere else. We may ponder about what that means...)
The picture now shows his unbeloved sister at work and the, well, puzzeled look on the face of her opposite is explained when you realize that, as usual in the buisiness-world of those days, she did promised him that, as the sister of a semi-jedi, she could turn his equipment into a professional laser-sword but didn't hesitate explaining that this had to be done with his member in a test tube of course, that she did not yet succeed at this complicated process too often and that she, just as it should be if you want to be happy, tried viewing her job not only as dumb work but as personal fulfillment and that results were not always the only thing that counted anyway.
I think I have to take a little walk now...
