Nov 6 2007Make A Life-Size Jabba The Hutt Puppet
Want to make your own life-size Jabba the Hutt puppet? I don’t, but maybe you do. If so there’s a tutorial online at Star Wars Crafts. You get to use all sorts of fun crap like irrigation tubing, mattress padding, PVC, and LOTS of glue. If you do everything right you end up with a mediocre looking Jabba puppet capable of being controlled by two people. I know I said earlier that I didn’t want to make one, but maybe if a few of you ladies out there volunteered to be my chained Princess Leias I would reconsider. Any takers? No? Screw this project. I hate crafts anyway.
A few more pictures and a video after the jump.

It looks like a terrible rendition of this Hutt (yes, it's Hutt, not "Hut). Jabba looks stoned. And I'm a bit surprised that a geekologie writer didn't know how to spell the species of this creature (HUTT)...c'mon, even if you don't know, you can at least cheat and look it up!

#8 that's almost embarrassing you took out the time to explain it to us.

If you think it's embarrassing, then clearly you don't belong reading this website or any other similar ones. It is after all "GEEK-ologie." So While you may be embarrassed to say such a thing, I, however, am not.
