The 'Space Slug' has always been one of my favourite creature designs in the whole saga, and it's interesting that there seems to be roughly an equal split here between those who would like to see the 'teeth' altered quite a bit, and those who wouldn't. I wonder which direction Adywan will choose eventually?
Here's a good shot of that actual 'puppet' model from the front this time - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2120/2378370309_8ca035b6a3.jpg?v=0 (note that the 'tongue' of the 'puppet' itself is not really shown in the shots from 'inside' the creature, i.e.- during the very top 2 shots)
Those have been some interestingly 'gnarly' teeth mock-ups recently, but personally I still prefer them basically as they currently are....although I always thought that the exact way they were shaped (with a gap between the bigger front two) in the original Ralph McQuarrie artwork looked even better:

Here's another neat piece of artwork that I really like, that might have looked great if it had been realised as a brief, distant, drifting element in the background of one of the 'asteroids' shots - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:SpaceSlug.JPG
Although that artwork above shows a 'shortish' Slug, I'm personally not stuck on any speculative exact 'lengths' for the Space Slugs in general, as I reckon they'd be able to 'extend' their body 'lengths' at will, like a worm does, and it could depend on whether they are full-grown adults or not. But here's an interesting 'info.' page, just for completion's sake - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Exogorth
(I'd still like to see the odd drifting asteroid or 2 in the distance of these 'mouth' shots, by the way)
Oh, and by the way vaderios, YES, your 'greyer' Falcon cockpit on the previous page looked a lot better than the current strange SE colouring in the sequence! Nice. :)
I agree, one of my favorite creatures. I know that there is no voting to be had, but if there were, my vote would be to leave the creature alone.
Also, I think it should be pointed out that if Lucas had change this creature in some way, a lot of fans would be most likely moaning about it along with the other special Edition changes.
