Thinking ahead to ROTJ, the biggest hurdle will be the Sarlacc. If I go for the full-on original version, it’ll be tough to get the DeEd or other source to blend well, I imagine.
I’ve probably asked (don’t remember), but are you keeping the burp joke when Boba gets eaten ?
As for the beak, it never bothered me (because of the Dune vibe perhaps ?), and watching this comparaison (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcLAOcutuxs) I find the animation still good (the texture got a little bit old but since there is no real close up on it, it doesn’t destract), I nevertheless understand why so many hate it (it changes the nature of the Sarlacc).
Removing it while keeping the tentacles would require pathway to many abilities some consider to be… Sir Ridley wizardly 😄
