Jabba the Hutt

[user 1190]

I know no one wants to see this tread but I need a lil help getting a good photo of the Throne room. I am thinking about building a complete room for these to display them. I know that this is going to take some work so I wanted to get started asap. Well I guess I can start after I figure out how tall Jabba will be sitting on his throne.

I don't know if you ever heard of Star Wars Chronicles but it's a big ol book about the original trilogy. They have a lot of photos that may be helpful.

There was also a Star Wars technical Journal.. i forget if jabba's palace is in there but it might help you with how the space was layed out.

Small pictures, but it might give you an idea on his space.

And just for kicks...

Another excellent resource would be the Visual Guides & Complete Location books from DK. Not only are the illustrations and photos top-notch, but the Com Loc book will provide a decent layout of the room as well...
They are still availible through most major book retailers or through Amazon or the like...

Good luck (and take lots of pics when you're done!)

Boy, these are great, thanks DW.

And this shot of Leia, what a doll!

That's a pretty big undertaking. I've been planning on creating the arch behind/over him and eventually making the wall to his right that houses Solo.

Ok Im not looking to make the whole palace. I want it to be starting just in front of the throne and have the area the incloses the throne. I found a layout and correct me if I'm wrong Han would be on the wall at the very left side

 

[Darth Madden]

I'm just going to make the floor area for my Jabba, but if I had the room it would be cool to make it bigger.... good luck to you and definatly make sure you post pics.

That is going to be one huge project. I was once going to make a throne room display for the hasbro sized Jabba and friends. It ended up about 4 feet wide. Thus I have put it on the shelf for later. Here is a link to some reference photos and details on the throne room. I also have a magazine that has a blueprint type layout of the throne room. I will do some digging in my attic and try to scan some pictures for you. Here is the link to get you started.

Good luck. Please post some pictures of the display during construction and finished. I and I'm sure many others would love to see your progress on such a great and big idea.
:eek

Jango where you building the whole throne room? I am looking for something kind of like this. I know I will not have all the figures to fill in the background and side area though. So I was hoping to get Jabbas throne in his lil area. But damm I never notice the whole BB'Q thing in the back.

 

[Coheteboy]

Yup, that layout above is exactly what is found in the Technical Journal... only it has a staple in the middle of it.

Does it say anthing about scale or anything?

My original plan was to build pretty much what was pictured earlier in the post. That is also the blueprint drawing I mentioned. But it just got to be too big for the amount of space I have. And now with daughter # 2 here I will probably never have room for it.

I put this in the Plo thread but it belongs here...

Anyone whip out a measuring tape and check out the throne dimensions given on the podcast -- 29x17. Its huge! Seriously, measure it out.

Where the hell am I going to put this?

 

[CookieMonster]

Hey there. If you listen to the newest Podcast there is actually an interview with three of the guys involved in making Jabba and the throne environment. One of them actually gives the measurements of the throne and jabba.

On the coffee table? I need to measure where I was planning on putting this. For some reason I thought it was only 24" long. This thing is going to be massive.

 

[KitFisto]

29x17?? Well that shoots the hell out of where I was going to put it. I thought it was 23x12.

I think that's Jabba's dims.

Massive this thing is.

Canceled it may be if a place to put it, I cannot find.

I started to realize it the last few days when I was drawing up a plan to build the surronding area. Its looking about 5'x5' and that just the stairs on each side and from just in front of the trapdoor to the back area.
