I've never quite understood why Jabba had human and humanoid slave girls. He's a Hutt. He should find humanoid females about as "hot" as you would find an octopus.

Why did Jabba find human/humanoid females attractive?

They were attractive to the general humanoid populace, which was a lot of his customer/bounty hunter base. That's why he kept them around. I'm sure he got off to the power trip of dominance over them as well.

He kept them around because he had a thing for humanoid women. I think in the Solo Trilogy, the other hutts found him to be kinda odd because of it.

An attraction to humanoid females was one of Jabba's family traits apparently.

And besides, with Hutts being hermaphrodites, they don't get it much with other Hutts so humanoids are fair game.

I thought Hutt was not a species but a clan or family designation.

The real question is not why he kept Oola and Leia around in bikinis but what about that really fat chick we get a glimpse of during RotJ? Why in the world would he keep her around?

No, the Hutts are a species.

It's less about "oh they're pretty!" and more about "I can demean and abuse them, and when I get bored, I'll feed em to my rancor."

Jabba's basically a rapist in slug form when it comes to the girls.

Well, you know, I could probably overlook Aayla Secura's tentacles and blue skin.

But seriously, a lot of it was probably status for Jabba. Impress the humanoid clientele and all that.

Jabba has the power to do whatever he wants, so he'll do whatever suits his style. However, I really don't understand why that would be to his liking.

Perhaps Jabba just looks at them like they're kittens.

Who doesn't find the human race drop dead sexy?


It was probably a prestige thing. As a alien, a minority of the Galaxy and be considered of a lower standard- especially hutts "vile gangsters", it would be pimpin' to have a hot humanoid dance for you.
