Catherine finds herself a slave of Jabba once more

It had been several weeks since my encounter with Darth Vader and the revelation that Luke is my brother. Several weeks since Vader had dismissed me as unimportant. Heartbroken by his rejection I found myself needing comfort. So I went to the only place I had ever felt at home, I went to Jabba's palace. I knew that I was taking a great risk in going there but I didn't care. My heart had been shattered into a thousand pieces.

"Are you here for business or pleasure?"Bib Fortuna said as I entered the palace.

"That is none of your business Fortuna." I replied with a growl.

"Just who do you think you are?" Bib Fortuna asked motioning for the guards to come arrest Me. I wouldn't have it and immediately took out my blaster and shot the guard.

Upon hearing the commotion both Boba and Dathan walked over to the entrance to see if he could be of assistance to Bib Fortuna who nodded. "I haven't seen you around these parts before. I know every bounty hunter there is and yet, I don't recognize you." Dathan replied suspiciously. Meanwhile, Boba just stared at her.

"I was under the impression that this was a place of refuge. I'm sure Jabba won't be pleased to be informed of this intrusion upon my privacy." I replied.

"Forgive me." Bib replied with a bow. "I didn't mean to intrude nor did I mean to show you any disrespect. I'll be about my duties of you need anything just ask. I'll see to it that you are given some credit for the inconvenience." Bib Fortuna replied.

I smiled underneath her helmet "that's more like it." Then turning to Boba she replied "As for you, I have no intention of explaining who I am or where I come from. It's none of your business. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to relax and listen to the band and watch the floor show." I replied.

"I'm sure you would. However, I know for a fact that you are not who you say you are. You can't fool me Catherine, I know it's you. You know, Jabba placed quite the bounty on that pretty little head of yours my dear Catherine." Dathan replied.

"That slimy double crossing slug! He gave his word that he would never force me to be his slave again."

Dathan chuckled slightly. "If I recall, he said you were free so long as you didn't return to any of his territories. You knew that if you set one foot on this planet, let alone this palace, that you'd forfeit your freedom."

"Haven't I been through enough pain and suffering?" I replied.

"You knew the consequences of coming here. Just as you knew that you would never be able to fool me. Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way it's up to you but one way or another I am collecting that bounty."

I sighed in frustration. I knew that there was no way out of this situation. This was my own fault. I knew the consequences of returning to the palace. "I'm not going to give up without a fight. Stay away from me I'm warning you. I'm
not going back to being that slug's slave. I will do what I have to do if that means killing you then so be it." I replied pointing my blaster directly at Dathan.

"Catherine, you and I both know you don't have it in you to kill anyone. Even if it costs you your freedom." Dathan replied.

"Don't make me shoot you." I replied my hand holding the blaster beginning to tremble. Before I knew it Dathan was at my side and removing the blaster from my hands and forcing both hands behind my back.

"You should have never come back." Dathan replied as he bound my hands together. Then motioning for Bib to come over he informed him of his intentions. "Fortuna please inform your master that I have obtained a bounty that I wish to collect."

"Jabba doesn't wish to be disturbed he is taking his afternoon nap." Bib replied. "However, in this case I'm sure he will be delighted by the interruption." With that Bib Fortuna nodded and wet to inform Jabba of Dathan's arrival. "Master. I'm sorry to disturb you but Damon Cruix is here to see you." Fortuna whispered into Jabba's ear.

"I told you I wasn't doing anymore business today. Tell him to come back tomorrow!" Jabba replied angrily.

"Master, Dathan is here to collect the bounty you placed on Catherine's head." Bib Fortuna whispered into Jabba's ear.

This caused Jabba to smile "my Catherine? The mighty Dathan Cruix has captured my Catherine? Well why didn't you say so!" Jabba replied his eyes lighting up in delight. "Send him in immediately."

"Ah, at last. My favorite slave has been found and returned to me. I will gladly pay you the bounty of $5,000 credits." Jabba said with a smile as Dathan pushed Me forward.

"It's been a long time my pretty." Jabba said with a smile licking his lips.

I let out a low growl and shuddered as I replied. "Not nearly long enough."

Jabba laughed and replied "Is that so? Then why else would you return? If you didn't miss me, why return to my palace?"

"Believe me, it had nothing to do with you. I came here to help rescue Han Solo." I replied causing Boba to fold his hands across his chest and glare at Me beneath his helmet.

At this, Jabba laughed. "I never realized that no good smuggler had such beautiful friends. First a Boussh impersonator and now you."

"Han was one of the best smugglers you have ever had. He still would be if you hadn't put that bounty on his head." I replied with a frown.

Jabba laughed once more. "Still sticking up for the underdog I see."

"A Boussh Impersonator? Really? Who would dare impersonate a bounty hunter?" I asked changing the subject. Though I was pretty sure I already knew the answer.

"See for yourself." Jabba replied with a wave of his hand revealing a chained up Leia in Jabba's trademark slave outfit.

I frowned and shook my head I knew Leia's attempt to free Han would lead to this. "Jabba please let her go."

"Why? Are you jealous my pet?" Jabba asked with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes.

"No. I just don't want to see you get hurt." I replied with a shrug.

Jabba's smile disappeared and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you threatening me? This girl is my new slave and my new favorite. I no longer have any need of you. However, that doesn't mean that you are free to go. It cost me a small fortune to have you returned to me. You belong to me and you always will. I can't wait to see you back in your proper attire. That bounty hunter outfit just doesn't suit you." Jabba replied with a laugh.

"I won't wear a bikini Jabba. Nothing you can say or do or threaten me with will ever make me wear that Bikini or anything else revealing ever again."

To this, Jabba just laughed. "We shall see my dear. We shall see. Since your not willing to corporate I shall just have to remind you of why you enjoyed being chained by my side. Fortuna take Catherine to wardrobe and find something more appropriate for her to wear and make sure the credits are transferred into Dathan's account immediately. Also, make sure he his given whatever he desires. Food, wine, spices, women, whatever suites his fancy as a way of thanking him for returning my ex-favorite to me."

Dathan nodded in approval as Fortuna rushed away to make the preparations for the money transfer into Damon's account. Dathan went with Fortuna to make sure Catherine didn't try to escape.

I groaned, and turning towards Dathan I frowned. "Why are you doing this Dathan?" Dathan held up his hand to silence me. "Fortuna, I will pay you handsomely if you will give me a moment with Catherine." I over heard Dathan whisper to Fortuna who nodded and ushered every one out of the room.

After everyone had left Dathan walked over to Me and tilted my head upward so that I couldn't look away from him. He shook his head and tutted at me seemingly amused at my situation. "Did you really think Damon cares about a promise he made to a little kid? Why would he, there's no profit in it. With Damon, profit is the only thing that matters. I'd have thought you'd have realized that by now. Your still so very naïve. He doesn't love you he never did and he never will. You mean nothing to him. You know that don't you?"

"Why don't you just leave me alone?" I replied both angry and hurt at the same time.

"Do you think I enjoy having to continually remind you that Boba nor Damon don't truly care about you? Do you think I like seeing you in pain?" Dathan asked.

"Obviously. You go to great lengths to make my life miserable." I reply bitterly.

Dathan sighed. "I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't like watching your heart get broken time and time again. Despite what you might think I'm just trying to protect you from more heart break." Dathan replied.

"After all you've put me through you expect me to believe that?" I reply with a hint of hatred in my voice.

"Believe it, don't believe it I don't really care. However, perhaps you can persuade me into helping you out of your little predicament." Dathan replies with a smirk.

"You? Help me?" I asked surprised and semi-sarcastically.

"Don't sound so shocked. My father promised that no matter where you were or who you belonged too that he would always come for you didn't He? He has never broken that promise and I can assure you, he never will." Dathan replied. "He is currently busy with a hunt so he has sent me in his place."

"I've always been nothing more to your father then property." I reply the anger and heartbreak in my voice evident.

"Your wrong not to trust one who knows you so well. I never betrayed you that was Boba Fett."

"Boba has never betrayed me. I failed him."

Dathan chuckles. "Yea well, he never had the legal right to adopt you. Damon never actually sold you to either Boba or Jabba you were only loan to them. I will help you escape from becoming Jabba's slave once more but it will cost you." Dathan replied.

"I don't have anything of value." I replied.

"I'm not asking for much, just a token mearly a trifle really, what I want is from you to sign a contract admitting that you've always have been mine and you always will be mine." Dathan replied.

"You want me to do what?" I demanded shocked that Dathan thought that I would ever agree to something like that.

"If you want to keep your freedom then sign the contract. This is a limited time offer and the clock is ticking. Make your choice, Catherine I'm a very busy and We haven't got all day. So what's it going to be? Jabba or me?

"What answer can I give? If I agree I know not what waits for me. If I refuse, I know the horrors that are in store. I'll be doomed to live a life of slavery chained forever by that slug's side. Either way, I choose I can not win. Both choices will cost me my freedom. You'll never make me a part of your family. I'll always be nothing more then a slave to any of you."

"Your wasting my time you know I don't like my time wasted. It won't cost much to make sure that slug never lays a hand on you again. Make your choice." Dathan demanded.

"Why do you continuously refuse to give me the only thing that I've ever wanted? I've always done everything that Your family has asked of me and yet, you still deny me what I desire the most. Even now, when you know I'd do anything to avoid having to be chained back up."

"You are a slave that's all you've ever been and that's all you'll ever be. You'll never be Demon's daughter He told you that years ago and I'm not about to let him change his mind now. Your time is up make your choice." Dathan demanded once more.

"As you wish. You've given me no choice, if I must choose a master I choose the less evil of two evils I choose Jabba." I reply with a sigh.

"You ungrateful brat! This is the last time I'll ever offer to help you. I'm going to enjoy watching you be forced to dance for my entertainment and forced to kiss that slimy slug. You really should have accepted my offer." With that, Dathan stormed off into the palace leaving Me alone. I had made my choice wether it was the right one or not still remained to be seen.

A few minutes later, Fortuna returned with a gold silver and green bikini that the head of wardrobe had chosen for Me to wear.

"Forget it Fortuna! I'll die before I will wear that!" I replied throwing it on the floor near Fortuna.

Fortuna picked up the bikini and grumbled under his breath. Unfortunately for him I heard him as he muttered "Stupid slave girl! Someone should remind you of your place."

I scoffed at this comment and replied. "Oh and I suppose you think you are going to be the one to do so?"

"Let's get one thing straight I am in charge here. Only the Master is above me so it would be in your best interest to do as I say. Your purpose in life is to entertain the Master. If you refuse to wear what you are given then maybe you need to be reminded of what happen to slaves who disobey those in authority." Fortuna replied grabbing a whip from off the wall.

"You wouldn't dare! Jabba will kill you if you lay a hand on me." I reply with a slight growl.

"Your no longer the Master's favorite he could care less what happens to you." Fortuna replied.

"Is that so? He put a bounty on my head because he missed me and he seemed delighted by my return. Are you sure you want to put your theory to the test?" I demanded. Bib frowned but slowly backed away from me. "I thought so, your still a spineless wimp. Now, You are going to take that back to wardrobe and bring me something more my style similar to the red dress I wore the day I first arrived at the palace." I replied using the Jedi mind trick.

"I will return this to wardrobe and bring you something more your style similar to what you wore the first day you came here." Fortuna replied walking away causing Me to smile.

Soon Fortuna returned with a beautiful sparkling green dress with a slit at the bottom down the left leg. "Thank you Fortuna this will do nicely." I replied and soon I was checking myself out in the mirror that had been provided.

"Enough of that its time to put on the final touches to your outfit." Fortuna said as he grabbed a green and gold collar and chain.

"I will not need a collar chain." I told him once again using the Jedi mind trick.

Fortuna nodded slightly and repeated "you will not need a collar chain."

"You will present me to Jabba now."

"I will present you to Jabba now." Fortuna replied and I smiled again. It was good to know that I could still use mind tricks.

As I returned to the throne room Jabba smiled. "Ah, my beautiful Catherine I see that you were able to convince Bib to give you a dress to wear. That would not have been my first choice for your wardrobe but it'll do for now. Dance for me my beauty."

"I will do nothing for your pleasure you double crossing backstabbing slug." I replied with a laugh knowing this comment would make him angry.

It did indeed infuriate Jabba and I laughed once again as Jabba roared. "You are mine once more and you will do what I want slave!" He replied he was going to tug on my chain to emphasize that if I didn't obey him I'd loose some of my air supply but he noticed that I was not wearing one. "Who's the idiot who forgot your chain?" He said with a frown. "Fortuna!" He yelled and Fortuna rushed to his side.

"Yes Master?"

"Explain this! Not only is she not wearing the outfit I desired her to wear but she has been given no collar or chain. I am holding you personally responsible for this." Jabba said with a growl.

"I am so sorry Master. Please forgive your servants incompetence. I shall fix this error immediately." Fortuna replied with a bow.
With that Fortuna snapped his fingers and a long golden chain was brought to him.

"Oh no you don't." I replied dogging Fortuna's attempts to lock the chain around my neck. "I'd rather be Ranchor food than be chained beside you and be forced to dance for your pleasure." I replied with a laugh knowing this would anger Jabba. Just to be on the safe side I made sure that I was no where near the trap door that lead to the Ranchor pit.

"You are my slave! You will dance when I say to dance and you will wear whatever I desire." Jabba replied with a frown.

"I am not some prize for you to show off. I won't be treated as eye candy nor will I ever wear those disgusting outfits you force your other slaves to wear. I'd die before I ever wear an outfit like that." Jabba was about to reply but I continued. "Though you went back on your word I will serve you willingly for the rest of my life but only if you would be willing to grant me a few requests."

"Your in no position to make demands however, this might actually amuse me. I'm curious as to what you would consider a worthy price for your obedience. Just to show how thoughtful I am, not only will I allow you to make your requests I shall grant one of them. However, I shall only grant one request so choose wisely. Now, go ahead and make your requests my dear." Jabba replied slightly annoyed and yet curious as to My request.

"My request is small one but it would mean the world to me. Please promise me that no matter what service Dathan might provide you will not grant any requests he might make concerning me." I replied.

"Why should not grant his requests?" Jabba questioned.

"I had a feeling you'd ask me that. Dathan paid Fortuna to allow him to spend some time with me alone. During that time Dathan claimed that you never really owned me and that I had only been on loan to you. He offered to help me escape if I swore to pledge my loyalty to him and swear that he is my one and only master. That I'll never serve any other as long as I live."

"When I refused his request he said that he'd enjoy watching me be forced to entertain him. He also said that he'd see to it that you'd allow him to have unlimited access to me whenever he visits. That I'd be his personal servant for the entire duration of his stay. That he'd enjoy causing me misery and enjoy being able to punish me regardless of wether I served him well or not. That my dear Jabba is why I made such a request." I reply.

"Why you lying little brat! I never said anything if the sort." Dathan growled slapping me across the face. Everyone stared in shock at what had occurred as a huge red mark appeared across my face. Everyone turned to Jabba eager to see what would happen next. No one had ever dared lay a hand agenst Jabba's favorite slave girl before. Unless Jabba ordered them too and that never happened. "Now either you rephrase your statement so help me I'll beat the truth out of you!" Dathan replied untying his whip from his belt.

At this I rush to Jabba's side and burry my head in Jabba's thick chest. "No. not the whip. I'm sorry. Please Dathan, I'm sorry."

"That's not good enough and I'm not the one you should be apologizing too. You should be apologizing to Jabba for making up such wild stories." Dathan replied as he unfurled his whip.

"Please don't let him hurt me." I replied looking up into Jabba's big orange eyes pleadingly. "Please Master. I'm sorry."

Jabba's eyes narrowed his smile disappearing instantly. "You dare assault my favorite dancer in my presence?" Jabba roared. Everyone including Boba glanced up from what they were doing to survey the scene. Boba smiled beneath his helmet. Perhaps now Dathan would regret how he had treated me. For judging by Jabba's temper only I could sooth is anger. He doubted that I would lift a finger to help that good for nothing bounty hunter. "Guards arrest him!" Jabba roared.

"No wait, please. I'm sorry I didn't mean to over step my bounds, it is a force of habit to punish Catherine when she is being insubordinate."

"So I've been told." Jabba replied a hint of irritation in his voice. His droid translated.

"Forgive me it won't happen again. As for Catherine's accusations I swear, upon the bounty hunter's creed I'd never betray you like that. Catherine is telling you these lies out of spite. Did I not give her to you for you're birthday? Did I not scour the Galaxy in search of her for you? When you decided you had changed your mind concerning her freedom? How then, can you question my loyalty? I live to serve you mighty one." Dathan replied.

"Elegantly spoken Dathan, perhaps I should seek council from someone who knows the both of you well. Someone who has nothing to gain from my decision either way." Jabba replied.

"If that is what you feel is necessary then so be it." Dathan replied.

"What say you Catherine?"

"I can not say Master. A slave has no right to decided. You must do what you feel is right." I replied bowing slightly.

"Well said my dear. Boba would you mind settling a dispute?" C3PO translated.

"Jabba He can't be the one to decide it wouldn't be fair." Dathan replied.

"Why exactly is that?" Jabba replied his eyes narrowing slightly. 3Po translated once more.

"We don't get along. Besides, you said it needed to be someone who has nothing to gain from this decision. You must ask someone else." Dathan pleaded.

"I'll keep own council on who is or is not fit to judge this issue. Do not question me again or I'll skip this discussion and throw you straight into the pit where you belong am I clear?" 3Po translated.

"Yes Jabba I understand."

"How can I be of assistance to you?" Boba asked looking at Demon as he walked up to the throne.

"You've known Dathan for several years have you not?" Jabba asked speaking in huttese which Boba spoke fluently.

"I have." Boba replied with a nod.

"Is it not true that you also know my slave girl Catherine?"

Looking over at Catherine momentarily Boba replied "I do. Catherine has been my apprentice and adopted daughter for several years. That is until Damon and his sons kidnapped her and sold her to you for your birthday a few years ago." Boba replied.

"You heard her request and her reason behind it?" Jabba questioned.

"I did." Boba replied with a nod once more.

"Can I assume you also heard Dathan's response?"

Boba nodded. "Yes, I heard what he said and I saw what he did."

"Tell me Boba, would Catherine lie out of spite as Dathan has suggested?" Jabba demanded.

"No, Jabba she would not. Cathrine has the heart of an innocent child. No matter how much someone has hurt her she always forgives them and she would never seek revenge. It's just not in her nature." Boba replied causing Me to smile. He may have turned me in for the bounty but he was still protecting me. Perhaps, he hadn't broken his promise after all.

"That is all I needed to know. Thank you Boba for your assistance."

"Anytime Jabba." Boba replied with a bow.

"He's lying Jabba. Everyone knows he and I are bitter rivals what better way to end that rivalry by having you execute me?" Dathan replied.

Jabba did not reply instead he fixed his attention on Me. He decided to have one last test to determine who was being truthful. By testing my willingness to entertain him and my obedience. "Would you dance for me my dear? Whilst I have a word with your former master?" I nodded and stepped down off the dias and made my way to the dance floor. Upon reaching it I motioned for the band to start playing a song. As a special treat I not only swayed to the music but created lyrics to the song they were playing and I sang it in huttese.

Soon I heard Jabba call time me. He was licking his lips intently and I knew exactly what he wanted. He wanted me to kiss him. Most girls would have shuttered at the thought of his touch let alone the thought of having to kiss him on his disgusting slimy lips but I knew that if I was to get what I desired then I must prove that I was his obedient slave. Climbing aboard the Dias I leaned up as close as she could to Jabba's face and kissed him on the cheek and hugged him and looked up at him affectionately. Jabba chuckled "why so affectionate my dear?" He demanded of Me.

"I was disrespectful to you earlier. You could have fed me to your Ranchor or handed me over to Fortuna to be whipped among other punishments but you showed me mercy. That alone is a reason to be thankful."

"Why not show me how thankful you are?" Jabba replied licking his lips once more.

"As you wish master." I replied leaning up and kissing Jabba directly on the lips.

I smiled as I watched Dathan frown. I could tell that he couldn't believe what He had just witnessed. In truth, I just wasn't playing fair. How could he possibly convince Jabba that I was just playing games with him with me so willing to kiss him?

At this, Jabba laughed "I have but one more request and then I'll make my final decision." Jabba replied.

"You need not speak your desire. If you will excuse me, I'd like to slip into something a bit more comfortable before I continue my dance."

"Would you now? What might that be?" Jabba asked with another boisterous laugh.

"If it would please you I'd like for my new outfit to be a surprise." I replied winking at Jabba.

Jabba laughed once more "surprise me? Nothing you'd choose to wear would surprise me."

"Oh, I'm not so sure about that." I replied with a giggle as I walked off into the palace to the dressing rooms. Within a few minutes I returned wearing the bikini that Fortuna had offered me earlier. This caused Dathan's jaw to drop to the floor and I surprised a smile. Now I really wasn't playing fair.

"Catherine's actions speak volumes. She is indeed willing to submit to my every request and I know that is agents her very nature. Therefore I sentence you to be tossed into the Sarlacc pit first thing in the morning."Jabba ordered.

Up seeing the look of sheer terror on Dathan's face I immediately felt sorry for him. No matter what Dathan had done to me he didn't deserve to die in such a horrible manor. Looking up at Jabba I boldly asked. "Master, since you have not yet agreed to my first request might I make one more request for you to consider?"

"You have but to ask my pretty little dancer." Jabba replied and Dathan gulped. He didn't like where this was headed I had Jabba wrapped around my little finger. Jabba had already sentenced him to death what more did I want? What else could I possibly take from him?

"You have every right to be angry with Dathan Master. He betrayed you and He almost cost me my life. For his crimes he deserves to die, however, please have mercy upon him, and for my sake spare his life." I replied. Again Dathan's jaw dropped to the ground. Now I was asking that Jabba spare his life? What was I up too? Just what was my end game?

Jabba chuckled "isn't that sweet. After all that he's put you through my pretty little dancer, you wish for me to spare him?"

"Yes Master. It is his nature to treat me the way he has and I can't blame him for it. I forgive him and I ask that you forgive him also." I replied quietly.

"Forgive me for what?" Dathan scoffed and with that he slapped Me across the face leaving a big red hand print in its place.

Before I could react Jabba roared in anger. "You dare lay a hand her? There will be no mercy! You shall be tossed into the Sarlacc pit first thing in the morning! Guards take him away!" Jabba roared.

Leia who was still chained to Jabba's side was shocked at this turn of events. This wasn't the high spirited Catherine she had met only a few month ago. Why was I being so obedient? Why hadn't I tried to escape when I had the chance to do so?"

After Leia was sure Jabba was asleep She took the chance to talk to Me. "Catherine, are you awake?"

I sighed "what do you want Leia?"

"Why did you give in so quickly today? It's not like you to admit defeat". Leia asked completely confused.

"Look Leia, you don't know a thing about me so don't pretend we've been friends for ages. I have chosen to accept the situation. No one is going to care that I'm Jabba's slave and one is going to come to my rescue. I've always been a slave and I'll always be a slave. So why fight what I know will never change?" I replied bitterly.

"I'm not going to give in so easily. There has to be a means to escape, perhaps someone will come looking for us. Or one of our friends can rescue us." Leia replied nodding toward Lando.

"I highly doubt that, now if you'll excuse me I need some rest. Tomorrow is going to be a long day." I replied turning away from Leia.

"Catherine, wait, I heard Jabba say that he was happy to have you retuned to his side once more. Were you his slave before?" Leia asked curiously.

"Yes." I replied with a sigh.

"How did you manage to escape?" Leia asked curiously.

"I didn't. One day I angered Jabba and he tossed me into the Ranchor pit. I survived being in the pit with the Ranchor for more than ten minutes and so the patrons of the palace demanded that I be freed. Jabba reluctantly agreed and had me removed from the pit. He agreed that no one was to treat me as a slave ever again not even him. However, I should have known Jabba would never keep his word. He changed his mind soon after releasing me and placed a large bounty on my head. He also warned me that if I ever returned to Tattooine I'd forfeit my freedom." I replied.

"Catherine I'm so sorry I didn't know. I never would have asked you to assist us had I known it would cost you your freedom. Why did you agree to help us? Why would you return knowing what was at risk. You were bound to get recognize by someone and yet to willingly gave up your freedom. Why?" Leia asked.

"For the same reason you risked coming here. I care about Chewie and Han. If my returning and submitting to being Jabba's slave for the rest of my life could save them from his wrath then it was worth the sacrifice." I replied.

Leia sighed and nodded. "I understand. Is there any hope of escape?" Leia asked.

"No." I replied sadly turning away from her.

The next morning both mine and Leia's sleep were interrupted by something strange going on at the entrance. I could hear the guards at the door struggle to keep some stranger from entering the palace. I watch as Bib Fortuna rushes to see what's going on. Then I hear him talking to someone but I can't make out who the person is. I overhear Bib tell the stranger that Jabba won't see him.

Yet, the stranger refuses to give up. He somehow convinces Fortuna to allow him an audience with Jabba. As Bib Fortuna approaches Jabba I whisper to him "Fortuna who is that?"

"None of your concern slave." Bib Fortuna replies and he wakes Jabba. "A Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight to see you."

"I told you not to admit him!" Jabba roars.

"I must be allowed to speak"Luke says to Fortuna who relays the message to Jabba.

"You weak minded fool! He's using an old Jedi mind trick." Jabba says pushing Bib Fortuna aside. Luke then turns his attention to Jabba.

"You will bring Captain Solo and his friends to me." Luke says attempting to use his mind trick on Jabba.

"Your mind tricks won't work on me boy!"
Jabba replied hitting the button releasing the trap door causing Luke to fall into the Ranchor pit. Leia looked down in the pit in worry but Lando placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her and she relaxed a little.

Jabba laughed as his Dias rolled over the trap door. "Sidi Jedi sedi Jedi" he replied laughing. However, his delight soon turns to anger as the group watches Luke not only evade capture by the Rancor but he is able to kill the rancor by causing the door to come crashing down on its head.
