Here's something that might be interesting to see. Actaully I just read this idea from a comment on tfn who was speaking about a comment someone made on aicn....lol, ideas travel.
"Jabba should have been one of those blue holograms, so Han could walk around it without any solid bit of tail in his path."
I can't recall reading about this before in here so I just figured I'd throw it out there. I guess it would entail reworking the scene a bit and somehow turning the solid Jabba into a hologram. And potentially making it so Han walks straight as opposed to stepping up.
Not sure if its even possible though.
