Guillermo del Toro gave us one more reason to love him after he was compared to Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. The filmmaker shared a publication in which he detailed that the film he was going to direct in this franchise would address “the rise and fall of the crime lord of Tatooine.”
In it appears an image of Guillermo del Toro next to Jabba, which he found funny, and in the description he wrote: “Separated at birth.”
The director of Pan’s Labyrinth is one of the most beloved directors in the industry and around the world, which is attributed not only to his talent but also to his relaxed manner. The only time we have seen him angry is when the Ariel Awards were in danger of not taking place.

Fans React to Guillermo del Toro’s Publication
And well, the fact that he compared himself to this character unleashed love and tenderness among his followers. On social networks, several users applauded him for doing so, highlighting that “it’s the cutest thing.”
“God, you are adorable,” “I love you, Guillermo del Toro,” “Memito del Toro is the greatest proof that talent and being a good person are not at odds,” “Excellent humor, representing Mexico once again,” “The legend says that you smell like Hot Cakes, would Jabba smell the same?”
Guillermo del Toro Was Going to Direct a Star Wars Movie
Guillermo del Toro revealed that he was almost going to be part of the Star Wars Universe, as he would be in charge of directing the Jabba movie. Sadly, this epic event was canceled, so his fans asked for the project to be picked up again.
“We were doing a lot of stuff, and then it’s not my property, it’s not my money, and then it’s one of those 30 scripts that disappears,” the filmmaker recounted in an interview with Collider’s Steven Weintraub.
