The plot thickens when the heroes fall prisoners of the evil Hutt, who decide to keep Leia as a slave while condemning Luke to be eaten by a Rancor. Finally, the team manages to escape, allowing Luke to return to Dagobah to complete his Jedi training.

Trivia
In the battle of Endor many of the ships that were part of the background are actually "chewed-up gum". The crew knew there was so much action going on that people would not notice this things.
Jabba the Hutt had to be operated by six people who were responsible for moving the puppet.
One of the heels that Carrie Fisher wore in the scene where she clamber on top of Jabba the Hutt accidentally pierced the puppet's latex hitting Mike Edmonds, the one responsible for moving the tail.
