It’s no secret that if you venture to a galaxy far, far away, you’ll find some rather unsavoury characters.
And it’s with that in mind that while on the surface, Star Wars appears rather wholesome, I feel the need to point out that it’s also home to some rather disturbing lore.
Well, perhaps that isn’t all that surprising. What is the First Order if not space Nazis?

That in of itself is pretty disturbing, but you open up another can of worms when you look at this universe’s fantastical creatures.
I don't know about you but I don’t want to ever see Luke Skywalker milk another thala-siren.
I’m sure the thala-siren is used to it but it’s a mental image I’d rather forget.
That’s seemingly nothing though compared to a disturbing piece of lore one fan has unearthed, and this one centres around Jabba the Hutt.

ICYMI: We recently sat down with the cast and creatives of Skeleton Crew.
It was Reddit user Total_Strategy who brought up the fact that canonically Jabba the Hutt can “eat people whole”.
To find evidence of this, you’ll need to venture over to the 1992 comic book Jabba the Hutt: The Dynasty Trap published by Marvel Comics.

Partway through the story, an entrapped Jabba latches his tongue onto the body of a spectating woman, dragging her through the barred window that separates them.
He then proceeds to swallow her whole, uttering, “Juh’ a li’l kih’ aye ‘ih,” as he does so.
I’ll be real. I don’t speak hutt so I have no idea what that means.
If you’re wondering what Jabba consuming a human sounds like, well, it’s “chomp, crunch, glolop” according to the comic. Grim.

“Makes the scene where he licks Leia way worse,” wrote JP_Bounty, making an excellent point.
“He also squashes someone just by falling on them and beats someone to death in these comics. Jabba's actually kinda terrifying,” Grandy94 added.
“These were great little comics. Weird as hell. He ate tons of people,” noted TLM86.
There you have it. Don’t mess with a hutt.
