Leia took the fleeting chance, jumping up behind an unsuspecting Jabba and quickly wrapping the chain that bound her to him around his bloated neck.

This was a fun and COMPLICATED shot! Jabba is actually quite tall in person. MUCH KUDOS goes to the taker of the shot - my good friend Mark - as he was able to wrap my chain around Jabba's neck while I balanced on the Hutt's back! My chain wasn't quite long enough (I believe it was 8ft) to make it all the way around, but I think the shot worked out nonetheless. BIG THANKS also to the folks at Gentle Giant not only for making Jabba and letting me work with him, but for putting up with me taking a risky shot like this (I know I definately made them nervous).

Taken at Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando, Florida.

Thanks for the kudos, and for being willing to do such a risky pose. It did turn out pretty well, didn't it? :)

No problem! It really did turn out good! Very happy with it, and if Gentle Giant is willing, I'd love to try it again with a longer chain!

Well, if you're happy, then I'm happy. By all means, give it another go with a longer chain. Would love to see the result! :)

Nice shot, though I would have had you lean back a bit more if possible with your balance, put your weight into choking the fat slug.

But good work, nice Jabba indeed.

Hahaha, I like to think of this as the wrapping around of the chain JUST before the tugging! Sadly, to keep my balance, I was not able to lean back much AT ALL. :( Glad you like though!!
