Geocache Description:

This cache is to commemorate the Star Wars Triolgy and is intended for the Chacher to simulate Luke Skywalkers attempt to free Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbaca from the clutchs of Jabba The Hutt.


Hutt Castle, often simply called Jabba the Hutt's Palace after its owner, a large stone and durasteel complex, was located at the fringes of the Northern Dune Sea on the planet of Tatooine. Originally erected as a monastery of the B'omarr Order, the buildings eventually fell into the hands of two major crimelords: first an outcast and gang leader called Alkhara and later Jabba the Hutt, a notorious crime lord from Nal Hutta.

Having captured smuggler and Rebel Alliance member Han Solo in carbonite, the Hutt displayed the Human on his trophy wall for all to see. An asset to the increasingly powerful Alliance, Princess Leia Organa was dispatched with the Wookiee Chewbacca to rescue the man. Disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh, Organa attempted to treat with the Hutt but her attempt was thwarted and the two were imprisoned. Not long after, the Alliance sent Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker to recover all three Alliance agents. When Skywalker's attempts failed, he was cast into the rancor pit as a form of public execution. Skywalker, after defeating the rancor, was handed a harsher punishment: Jabba would cast Skywalker and his friends into the maw of the sarlacc at the Great Pit of Carkoon.

While most of Jabba courtiers followed him to the Pit, very few returned. Indeed, Jabba and most of his minions died in a fiery explosion that engulfed the Khetanna, his private sail barge and the Alliance members escaped Some of those who survived returned to the palace in an attempt to take over the crime lord's empire or to steal his wealth. Many fell victim to B'omarr initiation rituals and had their brains removed. The palace eventually was shut down, the gates refusing to open for anyone. While many of Jabba's relatives or opponents attempted to take the palace, the walls were impenetrable and it eventually fell into abandonment.

This Cache commemorates this portion of the Star Wars triolgy.  The container will have, in addition to the Log Book playing cards bearing the likeness of Leia, Solo, and Chewbaca, please leave these as a part of the Cache.

The placer is the property manager and grants access to Cachers. I plan on adding some additional Star Wars themed caches if this one is appreciated. Let me know what you think.
