So, Princess Leia, at last we meet. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Zorba, Jabba's father. And nobody is better at getting even with a murdering Princess like you than a clever old Hutt like me!
~ Zorba swearing revenge on Princess Leia Organa for killing his son Jabba.

Zorba Desilijic Tiure, aka Zorba the Hutt, is a character featured in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, appearing in the Jedi Prince novel series. He is a Hutt crime lord and Jabba the Hutt's father.

Biography[]

Years before the events of the films, Zorba is imprisoned on the planet Kip for organized crime, leaving control of his native Tatooine to his son. After the fall of the Empire, Zorba is released by Ysanne Isard, and discovers that Jabba has been killed by Princess Leia Organa. After winning control of Cloud City from Lando Calrissian in a sabacc game, Zorba puts out a bounty on Leia, who is in the custody of the Imperial dictator Trioculus, and Imperial forces clashed with Zorba's Cloud Police. Zorba orders Trioculus frozen in carbonite, and takes his rival's frozen body with him on his Huttship.

Eventually, Trioculus' right-hand man Grand Moff Hissa takes Zorba prisoner, and take possession of Trioculus' frozen body. He thaws out Trioculus, who threatens to throw Zorba into a Sarlaac Pit. Zorba makes a deal with them, however; in return for sparing his life, he will give them Leia. Hissa and Trioculus accept the deal, although Trioculus goes back on his word after taking Leia prisoner and has Zorba fed to the Sarlaac anyway. Shortly afterward, Calrissian takes back control of Cloud City.

Zorba survives, however, and escapes the Sarlaac to take revenge against Hissa, Trioculus having been killed by agents of the Sith prophet Kadann. He meets with Kadann and tells him that Hissa and his fellow Moffs are planning to challenge the Prophets of the Dark Side for control of the galaxy. He later testifies against Hissa when the latter is tried by Kadann and his fellow Prophets for treason, saying that Hissa led the plot to overthrow Kadann. Thanks in large part to Zorba's testimony, Hissa is sentenced to death.

Zorba later returns to Tatooine, but finds that his and Jabba's criminal empire has been taken over by their relative Durga. Soon afterward, the Hutt Council finds that Jabba's last will and testament leaving his criminal empire to his father in the event of his death is a forgery, and he loses his position as clan leader and all his money. Penniless and disgraced, Zorba goes into exile, and dies soon afterward.
