Why was jabba the hutt keep a 15 year old slave girl chained to him

In "Star Wars," Jabba the Hutt kept a 15-year-old slave girl named Leia Organa (disguised as a bounty hunter) chained to him as part of his sadistic and abusive nature. Jabba, a powerful crime lord, enjoyed displaying his dominance and control over others, and keeping a slave as a form of entertainment and status was in line with his character. The imagery associated with this relationship, particularly in "Return of the Jedi," serves to underscore the cruelty and depravity of Jabba's character, as well as the broader themes of enslavement and oppression present in the Star Wars saga. It also emphasizes Leia's strength and resilience as she ultimately overcomes her captivity.
