This Halloween, Decorate with a 10-Foot Inflatable Jabba the Hutt
Jabba the Hutt inflatable lawn ornament (ThinkGeek)
Instead of the usual ghosts and jack-o-lanterns, why not decorate your lawn this Halloween with something truly scary: a ten-foot-long alien slug who feeds innocent Jedi warriors to rancors? Of course, we’re talking about Jabba the Hutt, everyone’s favorite slimy crime lord from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. And thanks to ThinkGeek, you can get a life-sized inflatable Jabba to show all those trick-or-treating Luke Skywalkers and Darth Vaders who’s boss. (Salacious B. Crumb and bucket o’ snack frogs not included.) The six-foot-tall lawn ornament lights up and includes a blower fan for easy inflation, though at $170, you may need to do some spice-smuggling to pay for it.

But why stop there? If you want to make give your whole Halloween an inflatable-Jabba theme, Rubie’s Costume Company makes an adult-sized, battery-inflated costume that looks kind of silly (mainly because the real Jabba doesn’t walk upright), but has mostly positive reviews on Amazon. Or if you’re the crafty kind of Star Wars fan, you can attempt to follow this guy’s lead and build your own version out of balloons. Either way, you’ll put all those predictable witch, zombie, and slave Leia costumes to shame.
