I don't mind reworking the special effects, sure it was amazing for 1977-83, but hey Cloud City looks great in 1997, the explosions look are more dazzling and what ever to the added/missing scenes...but taking out the Max Rebo Band's song number hurt. Also the band at Mos Eisly, they rock. The music was truly other worldly...timeless. Now the song number in Jabba's palace is distinctly 1990's R&B. Bad R&B at that......tear...

Yeah, it is high on the list of "Worst SE Alterations" I can think of. Heh, brings up the memory of the Max Rebo toy I used to have as a kid.

No doubt about it - the new version of 'Lapti Nek' or whatever it was called was a horrible, horrible alteration. The original tune by Max Rebo was much better. The addition of Joh Yowza to the SE was a disgraceful attempt at comic relief in a time of the movie when they should have been building tension. Just another lame attempt at uneccesary exposition by Lucas. If it doesn't serve the story, don't keep it in the movie!
