Welp, RIP the Chistori

well...

I’d be genuinely surprised if he makes it out alive, I’ll admit…

Every worthy vilain compliments their lair with a conveniently placed trapdoor for dramatic effect.

aye

Should have seen that coming

perhaps

It’s a good thing Voolvif has friends who’ll keep him in check. It’s not easy to save someone from themselves.

Maybe this is the hardest kind of rescue of all.

Absolutely

I cant believe i forgot about the rancor pit

This can happen.

off to the stop motion monster!

Ray Harryhausen can hear you.

Lol, one of the aliens in the middle panel looks like he's holding up his cell phone to take a picture! XD

Either way, poor reptile guy, but Fennrer and Garwaff are right; it's out of their hands now. They better get out while they still can!

Lol, maybe Garwaff should take Voolvif into his arms and give him comforting hugs, snuggles and belly-rubs in order soothe him.

It somehow looks like that, but it actually should be a glass with a drink he is raising.^^;

A wise thought, indeed.

I wonder if this is a thing among Shistavanen.

Oh yes, I realized that after taking a second glance. x3

It could be.

Is the one holding his drink up a Togorian too?

No, this is actually a Yarkora.

He’s got no chance. At least the rancor’s other prospective victims (some twenty-three years in the future, unless I miscalculate) had their hands unbound.

Tied up like that, there is hardly a chance.

Stay cool Voolvif! Dont blow the cover not only for you but the other members of the pack too D:

a good advice

Really great job on the emotions on everyone. You do it super well :D

It's going to be hard to override those instincts, and even after he'd gone through his recent epiphany on the Howling Cerberus, Voolvif's still would feel that urge to rush in though he's got the pack behind him and Garwaff and Fennrer at least can hold him back this time. Save who you can when you can, is going to have to be what he lives by now, and sadly Zorrn isn't one of them. Though I wonder if Voolvif might later reflect himself on the parallel between himself and the Chistori, how his desire to rush to Coruscant might have ended just as Zorrn's final moment of defiance only ended up with him making a final plunge to an imminent demise.

Though in the end it will be another Jedi whom faces the rancor and who brings an end to the creature's own suffering, given that Jabba kept the rancor starved to keep him vicious and forcing him into combat against other creatures for his amusement, in the end another victim of the Hutt's cruelty.

Accurately analysed as allways.

Have to be careful around Jabba

Would be best.

Is the Togorian celebrating with the crowd or is she flinching?

She is flinching.

Thought as much, can only imagine her reaction to the rancor. I actually remember seeing the first page she was on and thought she had her foot on the trapdoor already, I thought it was some grim foreshadowing for her fate but luckily or unluckily for her depending on your perspective she wasn’t sent down the rancor pit. Out of curiosity do have a name for her as well as any other background information, along with what happens to her afterward, assuming you won’t be revisiting Jabba’s palace.

This Togorian girl is a slave and dancer for Jabba and I had no name or background story for her back when I was drawing this scenario. But maybe we could go with the name Atam Oken, once captured by space pirates and sold as slave. She could have avoided the fate of being thrown into the Rancor pit and managed to escape Jabba´s palace.
