In reality, everything said about carbon dating is going to be wasted on Jabba. If the Shroud were carbon dates all over again in a way that satisfied all his objections, and it still gave a medieval dating, he (or she) would simply come up with new objections.

Bear in mind that the objections to how the carbon dating was done didn't start until after the shroudies were hit with a dating they didn't like. Had the shroud been dated to the first century they would have had no problem with the procedure, but would, rather, have trumpeted to the skies how science had proved this was the burial shroud of Jesus.
