Jabba probably isn’t the character with the biggest fan club around, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to dress up as him if you want to. Yes, sir, your money is good enough!
Not even the fattest human on Earth could do a Jabba the Hut costume justice, so ...

The steampunk fashion hasn’t skipped over comic books fan art, not even the villains, who some make a very suitable case for the steampunk rendition. Mostly, it seems, that Batman bad guys fit the bill. X-Men scourge and Doctor Doom, a walking steampunk creation, couldn’t be ignored as well.
Steampunk JokerAnd ...

How awesome is this Jabba the Hutt purse with attachable (by a metal chain, of course) Princess Leia in a chain link bikini coin purse? This Jabba the Clutch was upcycled by Cat Penfold, hailing from the land of gyros (Astoria, NYC). The vinyl clutch has a textured exterior that looks lizard-like, making it perfect for Jabba. The purses are hand-painted with acrylic paint and sealed with a UV-protective glossy coating. Recreate your own little Jabba’s palace scene wherever you go. Really cool, really geeky. It’s a one of a kind handmade item and as such is priced at $100.
Jabba the Hutt Purse is this Season’s Must Have Fashion Accessory
You like Star Wars and you like books. If only there was a way to combine the two. Well fear not my well-read Jedi friends, there’s not one but two different types of Star Wars bookends. For the more literal literates we have the simply named Star Wars Bookends shown above for about $60. The good thing about those is that you don’t need to explain them any further to your “normal” friends like you do with our next set of bookends:
I don’t need to tell you that this is a Star Wars Jabba’s Palace Bookends Statue Sculpture. It’s based on Jabba the Hutt’s palace and depicts Princess Leia’s attempt to save the frozen in carbonite Han Solo while Boba Fett, a Gammorean Guard and a taxidermy head of a Tauntaun watch. A must have for all hardcore Star Wars fanatics, this limited edition (out of 800) bookend measures 14 inches wide by 9 inches tall. It’s hand numbered with a certificate of authenticity. No certificate of geekocity is needed, as anyone spending over $200 on Star Wars bookends is clearly geeky.
How did you guys like your Easter egg hunts? To be honest, I have rarely participated in any, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate some good geeky Easter eggs. Check out this bunch from Flickr contributor smile!mermaid that Star Wars geeks will love.
The collection includes eggy versions of Yoda, Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, Darth Maul, C-3P0, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. I think that the Darth Maul and R2-D2 eggs are great, though Jabba’s face is pretty classic.
It must have been quite difficult to paint these eggs with so many details. If you like them, you can probably reproduce these at home, assuming you have a steady hand – and can wait until next Easter, that is.
