See how that ended up for Jabba.

I don't think the Rebel Alliance as a whole was going to cause too much fuss over Han. Maybe they would have over Leia, but Jabba didn't have balls for no reason. The Hutts were an extremely powerful faction in that region of space, maybe even moreso than the Alliance.

But Luke wanted his friend back. And told him straight up "this is the last mistake you'll ever make."

To quote another great movie: "Don't fuck with a Jedi master, son."

    Ben Quadrinaros had balls made of vibranium to enter a pod race tournament with Anakin Skywalker as his opponent.

    Twice.

    Yeah because someone (not Sebulba) tried to sabotage Anakin's pod racer and picked his instead. But only a real legend could get mixed up with Skywalker like that.

    Thats like being on a basketball team and someone confuses your locker with Michael Jordan's locker.

    Who did he casually enslave? Han was frozen (not at Jabba's command and only as a test-bed for trying the technique on Luke). Lando snuck in there. Is OP talking about Threepio?

    Han was frozen by Boba Fett for Jabba's bounty. It's even more of a flex that Jabba took Han from Vader and the Empire (who no doubt wanted him for the Battle of Yavin).

    Imagine if El Chapo or some other cartel boss put a bounty on Sully Sullenberger and the US government captured him and handed him over. Sure would look a lot like Jabba controlling the Empire. Or at least being important enough for Vader to be the errand boy.

    Only one character could be so influential that was enslaved as the non-sex slave character:

    R2-D2.

    R2 was working on the barge when it launched Luke's lightsaber to him.
