I've long been sympathetic to Jabba the Hutt. Despite objections to Leia's slave outfit in Return of the Jedi, it's Jabba who is the most sexually exploited character in Star Wars. Take note: he's completely naked throughout the entire series.
In this video, Gabriel Pacheco goes even further. He argues that although Jabba isn't a hero, he's clearly a good guy trying to do right for his community. Jabba employs a vast number of artists who would otherwise be processing womp rat carcasses for minimum wage. His palace is the most culturally and racially diverse community that we see in any of the movies. He also cares for the natural environment of Tatooine by preserving endangered species, such as the sarlacc.
I'd like to add to Pacheco's arguments. The movies, which are written from the perspective of the Old Republic and the Rebel Alliance, tell us that Jabba is a gangster. But all governments, even one as pathetically weak and corrupt as the Old Republic, describe competitors as criminals. They need to support their claim that Jabba is some sort of crime boss.
Watch the whole thing. Content warning: foul language.
