Guillermo Del Toro's Dream Star Wars Project Is A Jabba The Hutt Origin Story

Director Guillermo del Toro was at San Diego Comic-Con promoting his gothic-horror film Crimson Peak when he was asked if he could make his own Star Wars movie what would it be about. Guillermo dreams of a film involving the creature that placed a bounty on Han Solo and kept Princess Leia as a slave.

"This is not real, this is me as a fat geek just geeking out and talking about it," del Toro told Yahoo Movies on Friday. "I would do the sort of Godfather saga that Jabba the Hutt had to go through to gain control. One, because it's the character that looks the most like me, and I like him. I love the idea of a Hutt type of mafia, a very complex coup. I just love the character."
