Star Wars - 215 - Jedi Prince 06 - Prophets Of The Dark Side - Plot & Excerpts
His big, yellow, reptilian eyes scanned the horizon, but so far he had seen nothing but sandstorms and mirages. Zorba the Hutt, whose braided white hair and beard were now covered with sand, had been squirming through the desert for several days, surviving without food or water, as Hutts have been known to do. "The grand moffs thought they’d get rid of me by tossing me into the Great Pit of Carkoon," he said to himself aloud, "but no one can outsmart a Hutt! And no one can digest a Hutt, either! I’ll bet the Sarlacc’s been nauseous for three days since he spit me out --a-haw-haw-haw . . . !" Just then Zorba spied what he had been waiting to see. Off on the horizon, a metallic, boxlike shape was slowly rising from behind a distant sand dune. The object grew taller, until at last Zorba could see it rolling along on treads. A sandcrawler! "Surely my friends, the jawas, will give me a ride to the Mos Eisley spaceport!" Zorba said to himself. Though Zorba called the jawas his "friends," the fast-talking desert traders known as the jawas despised all Hutts-especially Zorba.
