For what it’s worth, Diego Luna’s fascination with touching the skin of Jabba the Hutt sounds exactly like something a kid would think about watching “Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi” for the first time. Jabba is one of the greatest puppets ever made — no wonder Luna would want to rub his belly!
Luna likely wishes he never said anything about touching Jabba because he’s been asked about it constantly over the years. When the actor was on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in March 2020 promoting Netflix’s “Narcos: Mexico,” Fallon tried to get any information out of him about the then-upcoming “Rogue One” prequel series, “Andor.” Luna expertly avoided that question, only to have Fallon play a clip of him gushing over Jabba during the “Rogue One” press tour. “It suddenly started to feel like I was in love with Jabba. It’s not, I’m sorry!” Luna said to Fallon. “I am not in love with Jabba. That was one big mistake I made.” Luna also shared that everyone started sending him countless Jabba gifts — further evidence that he can’t escape his innocent, off-the-cuff comment about Jabba’s squishiness.
Baby Yoda a.k.a. Grogu was on everyone’s minds when Luna appeared on Fallon, and Luna fell even deeper into the sarlacc pit when the late-night host asked him if Jabba would cameo in “Andor.” “I hope baby Jabba,” Luna quipped. “It’s all about babies.” The internet was already way ahead of him, and Baby Jabba the Hutt was born.
