Fortuna then presented Oola as a gift to Jabba, who took a special interest in her and often had her dance with another enslaved dancer, Yarna d'al' Gargan. During Oola's time at the palace, she witnessed Jabba host various guests, including the bartender Shrem, whom he fed to his pet rancor, Pateesa, and the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who delivered the smuggler Han Solo to the crime lord.

Fortuna brought Oola to the desert planet Tatooine and lied to her about the supposed glories awaiting her at Jabba's Palace. Before he delivered her there, a stranger in the city of Mos Eisley offered her a chance to escape.[4] Although accepting that[7] or other offers[1] would have been opportunities to avoid life in the palace, Oola believed Fortuna; she preferred to take her chances and wished to see the Hutt's home for herself.[7]
At the palace, Jabba paid considerable attention to Oola[4] as he found her highly desirable, but she refused to give into him[10] and denied his advances,[4] leaving her with no other choice[11] but to dance for her life while chained to his throne.[4] She would regularly dance duets with the Askajian Yarna d'al' Gargan, another enslaved dancer. Oola's dainty, graceful choreography[5] contrasted with Gargan's slower, more deliberate moves,[12] which were often humorously improvised.[5]
Oola was portrayed by Femi Taylor in the 1983 original trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi,[3] in both the original release and in additional scenes filmed later for the 1997 Special Edition. Since Taylor's appearance was almost unchanged after 14 years, she could film a close-up of Oola's terror at the rancor,[18] extending the scene by a few seconds.[19]
Chuck Green, rhythm tap dancer who was considered by his peers to be one of "the greatest tap dancers in the world," was born Charles Green. As a young boy, he stuck bottle caps to the bottom of his bare feet and danced on the sidewalk for coins. At the age of six, he won third place in an amateur dance contest in which Noble Sissle was the bandleader, and soon thereafter toured the South as a child tap dancer. At the age of nine, he was spotted by a talent agent and taken to New York to study tap dance. Nat Nazzaro, known as the "monster agent" by those who knew of his practice of signing vulnerable young performers to ironclad contracts, signed Green to his own contract when he was twelve years old. A few years later, Green formed the team of Shorty and Slim with childhood friend James Walker, a talented comic dancer. They studied the great comedians of the day, picking up lines of patter from such shows on the black vaudeville circuit as Pigmeat Crack Shot and Hunter Pete and Repeat. "Their act was hilarious. Chuck was a natural-- so cute," tap dancer Leonard Reed remembered, adding that Walker at the time was tall and skinny and Green was small as a chair. They did what was called "dumb talk comedy," a rapid rhythmic banter that was interspersed between the songs and dances. As Walker played a broken-down vibraphone that looked as if it were falling apart, Green sang, "Some people was born to be doctors . . . some people were born to be kings . . . I fortunately was born to swing." Then they tap danced, with Green making graceful turns and Walker excelling in legomania.
[The fluency of Green's tap dancing is captured in George Niremberg's documentary film, No Maps On My Taps (1980) with "Sandman" Sims and Bunny Briggs. His free-association poetry of speech is beautifully rendered in the film, About Tap (1987). His gentleness of spirit is immortalized in Masters of Tap (1983), a documentary film that also includes Honi Coles and Will Gaines. The sheer musicality of Green's solo dancing is seen in the film Dance Black America (1984). Guy Trebay reports on the Groundhog-Green tap challenge at the Village Gate in "Hoofin It," Village Voice, 21 Jan. 1984. A rare interview with Green was conducted by Jane Goldberg and is included in the article, "Sharing the Train with Chuck Green: A Glimpse of the Journey," International Tap Association Newsletter, vol. 7, No. 5 (Jan.-Feb. 1997): 3-5. Delilah Jackson shares a moving personal memoir of Green in her article "Gentle Giant of Dance Remembered," International Tap Association Newsletter, Vol. 8, No. 2 (July-August 1997): 17-18. Obituaries are in the New York Times, 14 March 1997, and the New York Post, 15 March 1997]
After betraying the Dark Hand in a demonstration of power, Shendu returned to the site of his former palace near Hong Kong with the intention of unleashing an army of dragon minions to exact his revenge on the descendants of his rebellious subjects. When the Chans arrived to confront the Demon Sorcerer at his resurrected palace, Uncle provided Jackie with a magical balm that would allow him to extract the talismans from Shendu's otherwise impenetrable shell. Uncle inferred that by simply removing the Rat Talisman, Shendu would revert back to being a statue. Amidst the ensuing showdown, Jackie plucked various talismans from the Demon until eventually extracting the Rat, effectively causing Shendu to revert back to his statue form. Having also managed to extract the Dog Talisman, Jade proceeded to destroy Shendu's (now terminable) statue form with the Dragon Talisman, physically vanquishing him. Whilst escaping the subsequent collapse of Shendu's Palace, however, Jackie and Jade were forced to abandon the talismans in order to save themselves, unknowingly leaving them to be claimed by Valmont and his Enforcers.
Assuming them to be buried along with Shendu and his palace, Jackie found solace in his belief that the talismans had been lost for good. On the contrary, the talismans were now in the possession of the Dark Hand, who intended to use them to commit robberies. Valmont and his Enforcers were interrupted, however, by the untimely arrival of Shendu, who had returned from the Netherworld as a disembodied spirit after being tasked by his seven demon siblings with locating and unlocking their respective portals. Upon immediately enlisting their service, Valmont's Enforcers sheepishly offered to surrender the talismans to Shendu, but because they were of no use to him in his spiritual form, the Demon Sorcerer insisted that they might as well keep them. Whilst attempting to secure the Pan'ku Box, however, Shendu and the Dark Hand were confronted by the newly assembled J-Team, who managed to recover each of the talismans amidst the ensuing confrontation.

The sequence goes on to explain the formation of Fett's alliance with Shand, as the two break into Fortuna's (formerly Jabba the Hutt's) palace, steal back Fett's ship, kill the gang of bikers who had murdered Fett's Tusken Raider tribe members, and attempt -- but fail -- to locate Fett's armor in the Sarlacc pit. The flashback effectively brings Fett and Shand's story up to date with their initial appearance in The Mandalorian.
The Palace of the Dead is a daunting location filled with plenty of powerful enemies, and can be unlocked by meeting certain conditions. Bring a well-prepared party if you plan to reach the depths of the palace.
Quake is the first game in the eponymous Quake series, and was released on July 2, 1996, for MS-DOS. It began development as a free-roaming RPG, but it switched to a First-Person Shooter, like id's previous series, Doom. An Open GL version was released on January 22, 1997, while a version tailor-made for Microsoft Windows was released on March 11, 1997. It was also released on Sega Saturn (December 2, 1997), Amiga (January 1, 1998) and Nintendo 64 (March 24, 1998).
The game has the Heroic Mime Protagonist (called "Ranger" in Quake III: Arena) going through four worlds collecting lost runes in order to fight against an Eldritch Abomination after a military experiment into teleportation went awry and caused an interdimensional demon invasion. The player, now the last surviving member of his unit, must single-handedly blow them all to bits. Of course, the story was once more just a basic framework for an adrenaline-packed onslaught of vicious monsters to be blown apart.
