Over at StarWars.com, Neil Kleid takes a look at the similarities between Tatooine gangster Jabba the Hutt and Crimson Dawn’s face Dryden Voss, and there are more than you might think.
Both gangsters had an appreciation for the finer things in life (and Mandalorian armor, apparently).
Despite the boorish nature of his inner circle, Jabba the Hutt had a taste for fine food and finer art. Enslaving — er, I mean employing only the finest chefs and musical entertainment, Jabba’s court was known as a place to hear the best bands, indulge in fantastic food and drink either in the palace or aboard his luxury sail barge, the Khetanna, and even tour intricate art and artifacts secured from across the Outer Rim. Of course, the jewel in Jabba’s art collection was beyond compare (for a time) — none other than Han Solo himself, encased in carbonite! Vos meanwhile, filled his study aboard the First Light with a carefully curated gallery of rare items, displayed around his office in order to catch a visitor’s eye. Dryden’s collection was so vast, in fact, that he rotated them on a whim and employed buyers and relic hunters to find  new additions for his trove much like Jabba, paying Boba Fett — one of his favorite bounty hunters who favored Mandalorian armor — for the privilege of displaying Darth Vader’s carbonite masterpiece. One of Dryden’s prized possessions just happened to be a near-complete set of Old Republic-era Mandalorian rally master armor, situated to the left of his desk from the perspective of a visitor…or victim.
