I always thought the TPM Jabba looked great. Why couldn't they have used that one in the 2004 edition? It looks like him, whereas the 2004 Jabba looks less like Jabba than the 1997 one. His animation is better though, because when Han steps on his tail you can see him get ticked off and he makes a fist, whereas the 1997 Jabba just stood there and took it. But the scene has so many problems, technical and storywise, plus editorially, the whole thing just so clearly doesn't belong in the film. It was fun in 1997 to see because the 1997 release was just sort of a fun bonus in a way, "hey, here's what Star Wars looks like with enhanced effects and new material, cool", but as a permanent part of the film it has no real place. But I guess if you consider the SE as a permanent part of the film the Jabba scene is just the tip of the iceberg so it seems kind of pointless to complain.
