Well, of course, coming from you. =)

Most people aren't that warped, though. They need alcohol to achieve their abilities.






Oh, this reminds me ...

I'm still trying to track down one piece of footage ... that Sluggo found a while ago, and then wasn't able to remember where he found it!

In my edit of the human Jabba the Hutt scene from ANH, I used footage from the old Making Magic CD-ROM to cover a short bit where Han walks around Jabba and says "Do you think I had a choice? But I got a nice easy charter ..."

Yes, that clip is on the Making Magic CD.

But Sluggo found part of it somewhere else, in VHS form. He just forgets where.

Specifically, he found a short clip where Han has just walked around the human Jabba and is saying (though we don't hear the audio) "choice? But I got a nice ..." So you'll see Han on the right side of the frame, Jabba on the left. Check my DVD or starwarz.com/deletedmagic for the exact shot I'm talking about. He used this clip in his edit of the scene for the web, but can no longer find the clip.

My guess is, this clip aired on some TV special, perhaps even Entertainment Tonight or something, talking about the Special Editions. Maybe it was part of a making-of the special editions Electronic Press Kit sent out to TV stations.

Almost certainly, they were talking about how originally Han just walked around the human Jabba, but they animated it so Han steps on Jabba's tail and OMG WACKY FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!!1111

This very short clip is not on the VHS tape of A New Hope Special Edition, or on the Making of the Special Edition VHS tape. "From Star Wars to Star Wars" was listed as a possible source, but I think it wound up not being in there ... and the white Special Edition rereleases on VHS were also mentioned, but I think it wound up not being on there either? Not sure.

The fact that Sluggo found it SOMEWHERE (even though he can't remember where anymore) shows that maybe some more clips of the human Jabba exist out there. Which would be nice.

Anyone has any ideas, lemme know.
