      He’s literally the Hutt lord of Tatooine (and nothing else). Where would you expect him to live?

        The Hutts have other planets, and their power base is many systems, and not just one single system.

          The entire character of Jabba exists only because he is the crime lord that lives on Tatooine. If Jabba had lived somewhere else, his role in the movies would simply have been filled by some other crime lord that lives on Tatooine. Maybe another Hutt. Maybe Black Sun or the Syndicate.

            Fair enough, but not necessarily. I doubt there’s one single Hutt for each individual planet/system, they have families (per the Clone Wars, etc.) and they are modeled after the Mafia and their families, which cover whole regions of an area, and not a single point of an area.

            But, no need to digress into a nerd fight over it. :)
