42. Oola & Jubnuk
When Did They Die: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Who Were They: One of Jabba the Huttâs slave dancers in his palace on Tatooine and one of the palace guards
How Did They Die: Eaten alive by Jabba the Huttâs pet rancor
As if being a tentacle-headed slave dancer and an anthropomorphic pig werenât bad enough, these two got to share the sorry fate of being rancor food in the pit oddly placed beneath Jabbaâs throne room.
No, they did not die together in the rancor pit. Oola went first after resisting Jabba and then Jubnuk fell down there with Luke. Theyâre lumped together here for one simple reason: they only died to illustrate just how dangerous the rancor was.
This ThinkGeek exclusive hologram Darth Vader figure is too cool to pass up.
Would viewers have been somehow confused about the rancor if it simply just showed up when Luke fell down into the pit? Like did we really need a primer that this huge, disgusting beast was bad news? Considering the overwhelming number of creatures that try to eat our heroes throughout all six movies, youâd think that the writers of Return of the Jedi could trust the viewers to get that you basically canât trust animals in this universe.
