And I remember everyone loving the scenes in Jabba's palace as well, 'cause after the first two movies hyping this guy, he totally lived up to all of our expectations. Totally ruthless and disgusting, ruling over all of Tatooine's scum and villiany. I'll never forget the first time they showed Jabba on the big screen, almost every kid in the theater shouted "Woah!"

Good point, and that is exactly how I felt in 1983. For some reason I was utterly fascinated with Jabba's palace, I remember watching a documentary on how they had Jabba move with all the people in the backround. You are right, we wondered for 3 movies what the hell is the big deal about this guy, what does he look like, what makes him so powerful.
Ooops, all gone now with the SE, you now see Jabba in ANH and all that anticipation I know I had as a kid before ROTJ is lost now......... Another brilliant change by Sir George.
