I thought "Jedi Rocks" was more in-your-face than Lapti Nek (which was the whole idea, GL thought "a big musical number would be funny in the middle of a Star Wars film"), but I didn't think it was any worse. I figured if you're going to do it, there's no point doing it by halves. There were a couple of OTT "MTV-type" shots which deserved to be excised, and Boba Fett didn't need any more exposure, but other than that I was fairly neutral on those changes. The CG singer was no worse than the puppet equivalent (one reason the "big musical number" wasn't in the 1983 version was problems with the puppets) — both were fairly ordinary.
