Rembrandt Biblical Scene
A road wound across the desert plain. It nature changed constantly, at onemoment obscured by drifts of ochre sand, the next moment swept clean, or distortedby the heat of the shimmering air above it. A road more ephemeral than navigable;yet a road to be followed, all the same. For it was the only way to reach the palaceof Jabba the Hut. Jabba was the vilest gangster in the galaxy. He had his fingers in smuggling,slave-trading, murder; his minions scattered across the stars. He both collected andinvented atrocities, and his court was a den of unparalleled decay. It was said bysome that Jabba had chosen Tatooine as his place of residence because only in thisarid crucible of a planet could he hope to keep his soul from rotting awayaltogether—here the parched sun might bake his humor to festering brine. In any case, it was a place few of kind spirit even knew of, let alone approached.It was a place of evil, where even the most courageous felt their powers wilt under thefoul gaze of Jabba's corruption.
