Is it allowed to write a story that involves a universe from a movie? For example, is it okay to write a story that takes place in the palace of Jabba the Hut in the 'Star Wars' universe using made up characters?

That would be what's known as a derivative work.
Derivative works aren't allowed as they infringe copyright. Don't let that stop you writing it though; EL James began by writing a story based on the characters from Twilight and look what happened when she changed the names.

We do not accept celebrity stories, or those containing famous people. The same is true of fan fiction and derivative works.

I see that more as fan fiction, he's using something that's already made in a completly new way. A derrivative work is, for example, when you make a movie after a book, in the last case the changes are minor. To me, a derrivative work is like the fruit of a already given work.
Fan fiction use what was already set up and tries to reach another ending, it deviates in a major way from the initial set up
Both fan fiction and derrivative works can deviate from the plot, but, in the case of derrivative work, the deviation, usually, is minor as it tends to be a 'carbon copy' of a original, with minor adjustments.
@scorpio As Lush doesn't allow that, you can't post/publish them here. But, if your story fits the criteria 'fair use' then.. You can try to search for another place. Usually, problems arive when you do that for money.
Edit: looks like wikipedia catagolize fan fiction as derrivative work.
Quote from wkipedia about fan fiction:
Fanfiction is not infringing if it constitutes fair use of the underlying copyrighted work. In determining whether a particular use constitutes fair use, courts consider the following four factors:
"the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work."[9]
Fair use is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
