Jabba the Hutt was the most popular of the life size origami figures made during Celebration III. We were fortunate to have two special guest folders, Toby Philpott and David Barclay. They are the puppeteers who brought Jabba to life during the filming of Return of the Jedi. Once he was completed he was put on the stage as the guest of honor at the Celebration Costume party. During the world premiere of Return of the Sith he was auctioned off and now has a new home in California. Thanks to Lisa and Henry for bidding on him. The money raised went to Koret Family House in San Francisco.

I want to thank David Ogles, Anne Jenkins, Rebecca Waldeck, David Scott, Tom Purpus, Dylan Hignite, Leah Ritter, Daryl Pyle, Diana Holmgren, Leonard Frederich, Christina Bailo, Chris Gereke, and Gene Bryant (not in the background picture) who helped me create Jabba.
