About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive headfirst into the Tatooine underworld with the Jabba the Hutt Villain Pack for Star Wars: Imperial Assault! Even though the Galactic Empire technically calls the shots, it's Jabba who truly rules the streets, controlling crime and crushing competitors for decades. Now, this crime lord can lend you a hand (or rather, a tentacle!) to guide your mercenary strike team to victory.

Featuring three new Agenda cards, you can spread Jabba's influence across the galaxy, even when Rebel heroes venture beyond Tatooine. And when Jabba himself enters the battlefield, he becomes an intimidating presence in your campaign or skirmish missions. He's not exactly the front-line brawler type – mobility isn't his strong suit, and he prefers to issue orders from afar. But that's where he shines: coordinating his underlings and cunningly undermining enemy plans. With this pack, your options for dominating the crime world using Jabba are virtually unmatched. Remember, this is an expansion pack, so you'll need the Imperial Assault Core Set to play. Some missions also require the Jabba's Realm expansion.
