Return of the Jedi
Luke springs a rescue mission for Han Solo, who has been delivered to Jabba. When Jabba refuses to turn over Han, he throws a party and slaughters Oola, his dancing girl, in the mix. Later, he imprisons Chewbacca and later Han, who has just been freed by Leia. When Luke intervenes, he throws Luke into the rancor pit. When this fails, Jabba becomes furious and has the Rebels taken to the Great Pit of Carkoon. There, he is eventually strangled by Leia with the very chain that ironically enslaved her. His corpse is obliterated in the explosion of his sail barge.
