^ I agree.
Jabba is great (except that his mouth flapping up n’ down doesn’t match the sounds he’s making), but there are a lot of half-assed rubber masks that are too close to the camera and stupid, unbelievable designs like the blue elephant.Of all the goofy aliens in Jabba’s palace, you pick on Max Rebo? I’ll take Max any day over the fat frog they added for the special edtion, who appears to be sitting on a crapper. 😉
I don’t watch the SE. And the blue elephant clearly stands out as looking fake and silly.
I think you’re confusing his species with Hooter from Captain Eo. Both are blueish, and play a mean keyboard, so it’s understandable. 😉
What’s really interesting is Kenner totally screwed up, thinking Max had a lower torso behind the keyboard, and that design has stuck ever since.
