Attached Link: Sydney Greenstreet

Oh, I never thought of Greenstreet fitting Jabbas description but I can see the similarities with all due respect to Sydney. Here’s some trivia I dug up on the Internet:

 

“Roseanne Barr protested that Jabba The Hut was an insult to her, but when she realized she was still an emotionally abused loser in rural central Utah when Return of the Jedi was released, she left.”

“According to the 1985 documentary From Star Wars to Jedi, Lucas rejected initial designs of the character. One made Jabba appear too human — almost like a Fu Manchu character — while a second made him look too snail-like. Lucas finally settled on a design that was a hybrid of the two. Return of the Jedi costume designer Nilo Rodis-Jamero commented,

“My vision of Jabba was literally Orson Welles when he was older. I saw him as a very refined man. Most of the villains we like are very smart people. But Phil Tippett kept imagining him as some kind of slug, almost like in Alice in Wonderland. At one time he sculpted a creature that looked like a slug that's smoking. I kept thinking I must be really off, but eventually that's where it led up to."

Designed by visual effects artist Phil Tippett, Jabba the Hutt was inspired by the anatomy of several animal species. His body structure and reproductive processes were based on annelid worms, hairless animals that have no skeleton and are hermaphroditic. Jabba's head was modeled after that of a snake, complete with bulbous, slit-pupilled eyes and a mouth that opens wide enough to swallow large prey. His skin was given moist, amphibian qualities. Jabba's design would come to represent almost all members of the Hutt species in subsequent Star Wars fiction.”
