Does Leia think that Jabba is an idiot?

But really, if all it took to restrain "the Might Chewbacca" was one htermal detonator, don't you think someoen would've done it before?

 

There's also the problem that a thermal detonator can blow up the captor, too. Not a good way to keep a wookie in line.

 

If Chewbacca was placed in a cage of some sort it would have been more realistic and we would not be having this discussion.

However, those in the Politically Correct world would have had a field day. I can see it now...

Jabba the Hutt, you stand accused of two counts of known abuse to two females, one count of abuse to a Wookine and one count of illegal possession of one Monkey-lizard...

 

My appartmentship at Jabba's palace was of a mutual agreement, so there.

OMG, I can't believe that so many people didn't notice that scene and its poor story telling.

Chewbacca is such a beast, he would gone off on anyone who tried to handcuff him.

I for one would have added a little light and some mood music to Jabbas court room.
