Wikipedia's article of the day for tomorrow

Post by Jason von Evil »

Jabba the Hutt.

Nice to know that in all 1.3 million articles, Wikipedia knows how to show off the important articles. :P

I'm surprised the Jedi or Sith articles aren't featured articles yet.

Well, Jabba's the man. He did get Leia into that metal bikini, thus satisfying the hungers of horny teenage geeks across the world. :D
'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'

Special Edition. Lucas added him to the scene where Han goes to the hanger containing the Falcon. Originally, a fat guy with a beard met him there and reminded him of his debts to Jabba. In the redone version, Lucas replaced him with Jabba.
