Yesterday I was listening to the John & Ken show on the local radio station… they were discussing having watched Star Wars on television the night before. The hosts commented that the 1977 special effects didn’t stand the test of time, and the example they used was – the scene with Han and Jabba!!!

George, are you listening?

Oh, I KNOW. It's so bad. He doesn't even look like Jabba but a fat Scottish dude, instead.

That's so awesome it defies words.

A few nights ago I was watching the GOUT dvd of ROTJ with some other people. During Lapti Nek this girl said that she loved the scene because it looked real and fake at the same time. Again, too awesome for words.

Heh, wow, that's great. I remember arguing with a friend's girlfriend a couple of years ago. She said that the special editions were better because Jabba actually looked like Jabba, while, in the original versions, he was just this fat man. I somehow couldn't get it through to her that that scene was never in the original version in the first place. Oh, well.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
