Jabba the Hutt's dais

Jabba the Hutt's dais was a repulsorsled that was used by Jabba Desilijic Tiure, and later by Bib Fortuna and Boba Fett, as a formal throne in his Tatooine palace. It was located in the audience chamber, just in front of the trap door to the rancor pit.

The dais was decorated with several statues of Abyssin and rancor heads. Behind the sled was a barbeque, on which jerba meat was broiled on a rotating spit. While under Jabba's ownership, the dais had a control panel that opened the trap door to the rancor pit. Once a victim was dropped into the pit, the dais would move forward to allow Jabba to watch his rancor devour them. It also had a small aquarium that contained paddy frogs for Jabba to eat. Jabba would also chain his favorite slave girls to the dais as a way of keeping them close. At some point after Jabba's death, Bib Fortuna had a large chair placed on the dais.
