Posit Pixel explained through clever pixelated animation how it took a team of puppeteers to make the Jabba the Hutt costume come to life as a Star Wars character. It took the work of six people to operate the costume - two to work the torso, one to control the tail, one to operate a bellow that caused Jabba's chest to rise and fall, one to operate the radio-controlled animatronic eyes, and finally one to spread the slime between takes.
