Jabba the Hutt didn’t rise from nothing.

Before the palace on Tatooine… before the sarlacc… before Leia Organa pulled the chain that ended an empire — there was Zorba the Hutt.

Zorba lived longer, ruled harder, failed louder, and survived more than almost any crime lord in galactic history. Born nearly a thousand years before the fall of the Republic, Zorba was a Hutt who never fit in — marked by his strange appearance, driven by unchecked ambition, and feared even by his own family.

As leader of the powerful Desilijic clan, Zorba ruled through intimidation rather than competence. His grand schemes collapsed one after another, bleeding his cartel dry… yet no one could remove him. Through fear alone, he clung to power while his empire decayed around him.

But Zorba’s greatest legacy wasn’t his failures.

It was Jabba.

Zorba personally trained his son in manipulation, betrayal, and absolute cruelty — lessons Jabba would master far better than his father ever could. While Zorba stumbled, Jabba quietly built an empire that eclipsed everything before it.

Then Zorba vanished.

Arrested during the final years of the Republic, Zorba treated a decades-long prison sentence as a temporary inconvenience — convinced he would one day reclaim everything Jabba built. When Jabba died at Leia Organa’s hands, Zorba returned from imprisonment expecting to inherit an empire…

Instead, he found vengeance.

What followed was one of the darkest and least-known chapters in Star Wars Legends: rigged sabacc games, control of Cloud City, bounty hunter fleets, and a terrifying truth — Leia Organa was marked for death by Jabba’s father himself.

Zorba attempted to feed Leia to the very sarlacc that killed Jabba.

And when that failed?

The galaxy tried to kill Zorba the same way.

It didn’t work.

This is the complete life of Zorba the Hutt — the crime lord who survived betrayal, imprisonment, the fall of his son’s empire, and even the sarlacc itself… only to fade into legend as the shadow behind Jabba’s rise.

If Star Wars ever reintroduces Legends crime lore into canon, Zorba is the kind of character who could reshape the underworld of Tatooine forever.
