please someone tell me that the 'space slug glove parachute pants arm puppet' is going to be fixed eventually. once you look away from the falcon and look at the crater's edge and the fabric rippling over it, it becomes so obvious it is a poorly realized puppet and you can never look at it the same way again!

There's no way to fix it without replacing it with CGI, and I'm totally against adywan doing that. The fact is, it's a movie from the 70s, and I want it to kind of show. I don't want it to look like a movie from 2012. I much prefer the handmade feel of the original trilogy. It gives character, and having a space slug puppet come out of the hole is A LOT more charming to me than a computer-generated image.

I can look at that scene and imagine it as a giant space slug, because I have a good imagination, and I can look at it and be amazed that these young guys could achieve something so grand and exciting with just puppets and models. I think those that need everything to look 100% believable and realistic are forgetting that even CGI ages over time. You're just replacing one aged technology with another.

The puppet is fine the way it is. It's loose skin rippling over the edge of the crater, not fabric. ;-)
