The interstellar crime boss and CEO of Tatooine’s largest cartel has gone on the record to deny allegations that he has ever received a credit as a movie producer.
The morbidly obese space slug who is known for his predilection for holding life long grudges, sex slaves in gold bikinis and feeding employees alive to his pet Rancor, is denying rumours that he financed a series of movies in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s.
A spokesman for the Desilijic-Hutt Cartel told the Herald that Jabba had been “placed on administrative leave” by the board until the allegations of movie producing had been properly and fully investigated.
“I might have chained women in gold bikinis in my bed and fed former employees to my sarlac but to suggest that I would make a film like Chocolat or Air Bud is just scandalous.
“I’ve never even met a golden retriever, let alone one that can play basketball.” Mr The Hutt explained.
“There’s not one parsec of truth in these claims by almost everybody and my name being all over the rushes of hundreds of films including Shakespeare in Love doesn’t prove anything.”
Mr The Hutt has not yet been asked to divest his shares in the Desilijic-Hutt Cartel, which are said to be very substantial but it is understood a great deal of pressure is being applied by financiers from across the Galactic Empire.
A spokesman for GEBC (Galactic Empire Banking Corporation) told The Herald “it’s one thing to work with murderous drug and people smuggling cartels, but if the accusations of movie producing turn out to be true we’ll have no choice but to withdraw our support.”
Netflix was unavailable for comment.
