To me the problem with the 97 SE Jabba is (other than it is now poor CGI for our days standards) that he has too much facial expressions, it was disctracting from the 83 puppet. The 2004 Jabba, even if it's far from perfect is a step in the good direction IMO. Of course the real problem is that the scene itself did not had much thing to the movie. I did not like seeing Jabba in TPM ether because I like my Jabba mysterious until ROTJ.

I didn't mind that Jabba was in TPM. At least he looked better than both the '97 and '04 Jabba. I have more problem with him being in Star Wars than in the prequels. His being in the prequels shouldn't ruin the "mysteriousness" of him in ROTJ because, strictly speaking, you should see ROTJ before TPM anyway. It does ruin his credibility to see him in Star Wars, though.
