I was helluva disappointed by the freakish Jabba in IV and Greedo shooting first...I was perplexed by some of the changes, like the Sarlacc tongue. Funny, if I think what I hated the most about the SE, it would be the Sarlacc tongue. Made the Sarlacc less of a bloated dirty giant parasite and more into a generic alien. Well to me anyway.

Yeah, that Sarlaac change is messed up. I see the reason for the change: A big hole in the ground isn't very menacing. Still.. is a beak the answer? It just didn't work for me.

I see your point but the reasons I found it menacing or freakish to me is that it looked like some kind of giant sore on the face of the desert, a disgusting flesh covered hole lined with teeth. I mean, the look on Lukes face when he stares down at it, you could just imagine the smell of rot and death the probably wafted out of it. Plus the mystery regarding what it would look like if it was unearthed. I got the impression that it was fat and bloated under the sand from all the people Jabba had thrown to it, not to mention any unfortunate banthas or travellers that may have discovered this ant lion from hell.

The beak just ruined all of that for me...added too much of a sympathetic animal factor to it.
