However,as co-creatorJon Favreaualready revealed, the vacuum left by Jabba’s death inReturn of the Jedileads to an intense power struggle among criminal factions, with Boba putting himself in the eye of the storm. In Favreau’s words:
“Jabba was clearly a very strong and imposing leader, who people were very scared of, and who seemed to rule with an iron fist. You pull somebody like that out of the ecosystem of Tatooine – and Hutt Space in general – and you have the opportunity that’s ripe in the gangster genre.”
