JABBA IN RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) Instead of just relying on stock photos, I decided to go back and really look at Jabba in Return of the Jedi. In that film, Jabba appears to be a deep reddish-orange color, with darker patches that can appear dark green or dark brown depending on the scene. The green is pretty subtle in many shots — in fact, I’ve heard some Star Wars fans doubt that he even had any green on him at all. His eyes are a deep reddish orange.
