In part 2 of our series discussing Return of the Jedi, Boushh brings Chewbacca to Jabba’s palace to collect on a bounty.
In part one, Threepio and Artoo delivered Luke Skywalker’s message to Jabba the Hutt and were then made gifts to the vile gangster. In this episode, a mysterious bounty hunter named Boushh delivers Chewbacca to Jabba, and demands a hefty bounty. Jabba and Boushh don’t agree on price, but they quickly reach a compromise to avoid an explosive situation. Later, someone with strong feelings sneaks into the throne room to attempt to rescue Han Solo. Thanks for joining us for the latest episode in our year-long series discussing Return of the Jedi.
