10 Wholesome Behind-The-Scenes Star Wars Moments
6. Diego Luna LOVES Jabba the Hutt
Everyone has their favourite Star Wars characters, right?
One character who doesn't typically find themselves near the top of those lists, though, is the giant gangster slug once seen lounging around on Tatooine.
However, there is one person out there who simply can't get enough of Jabba the Hutt, and he also happens to play a character who was knocking around the galaxy far, far away at the same time the slimy criminal was.
If you're in need of a quick injection of joy in your day, then just look at the way the great Diego Luna talks about his precious Jabba.
In various interviews, the Cassian Andor actor has surprisingly gushed over the massive Hutt, and has made no secret of his desire to, erm, touch the gross skin of the infamous alien. Whatever floats your boat, Diego!
Hell, when given the choice between French kissing the big guy or punching an Ewok in the face, Luna happily went for the former, refusing to hide his love for this "amazing character."
Some may find it a touch weird, sure, but there's also something undeniably sweet and endearing about the way Luna talks about one of the most disgusting and villainous characters in the galaxy.
As of 2025, we're still yet to see Andor and Jabba cross paths on-screen, and it actually seems like the actor himself has given up on ever getting to meet his fave (via Comicbook.com). But who knows, maybe Andor season two will finally give us that long-awaited interaction and make Luna's real-life Jabba dreams come true...
