10 Stupidest Ever Things Done In Star Wars Movies
4. Jabba's Guards Forget To Do Their Jobs
Jabba the Hutt surrounds himself with tough, capable people to make sure no one messes with him in his desert palace. Bib Fortuna, the Brandoesque monster's majordomo, is in charge of a diverse crew of Gammorean brutes, Weequay pirates and torture-happy droids, all paid to do Jabba's bidding and keep him safe. And they are all idiots.
Luke Skywalker and his two droids arrive at the palace, with the droids being given to Jabba as gifts. At no point does anybody at the palace think it might be prudent to check these newcomers for weapons.
R2-D2 is able to smuggle in Luke's lightsaber even when the cylindrical sassypants is despatched to the droid-run dungeons to be put to work. It's not like nobody knows what a Jedi is, as Jabba himself is well aware of Luke's attempts to mind trick him when Luke demands the release of his friends Han and Chewie.
R2-D2 gets Luke's lightsaber to him just as he is about to be executed, sparking Luke's escape from the skiff and vengeful despatching of Jabba's whole court. Thus Jabba the Hutt's fate is sealed when his employees can't be bothered to pat down the two people sent to the palace by someone everyone knows wants Jabba dead.
