So, riddle me this. They scan the 1997 SE into their computers at 1080p, do the work, color correct it, etc. Alright, but it looks like they must have rescanned the original Jabba plates, because they moved Jabba around. It looks like they used the same Han going over the tail that they did in 97, but they redid Han's hands and shadows and such. Does this mean they had some of the actual files from 97, or did they re-rotoscope that whole scene and just so happened to have Han move over the tail identically to 97?

Just pointing out that a lot of work was done in the 04 SE that no one gets credited for. Between recreating this shot that took the original guys over a year to do and tracking the new extensions to the detention block, a bunch of people busted their butts over this movie and didn't get added to the credits. Most fan editors have more respect than that and credit people who made suggestions.
