Legend

this obscure planet was covered with swampland and muddy plains. The surface of the planet was constantly changing, as frequent rainstorms soaked the ground and caused mudslides and floods. Many historians believed that the first stone mites appeared on Orleon. It was here that Jabba The Hut met up with Han Solo, before Solo was captured on Cloud City by Boba Fett. Note that, in the Marvel Comics series, which occurred prior to the release of The Empire Strikes Back, Jabba was an Imzig- or Nimbanel-like humanoid who could move about quite well on two feet. After his ship, the Voidraker, was disabled by stone mites, Jabba had to come aboard the Millennium Falcon in order to survive. Jabba then cleared Solo's debt, and canceled all bounties on his head, in return for his own life. Note that this event was proven apocryphal with the release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi., although it was entirely possible that Jabba reneged on the deal as soon as he was safe.
