True dat.

The new Tampa scenes really warm up an otherwise kind of frigid movie.

Yeah. The original version left you to think of what the Wampa looked like. We had only seen a face arm shot, and a little later a shot of the face and chest covered by the arms. Only about 35% of the full thing. I don't ever remember seeing any shots of the Wampa on any poster, or books. So it was a mystery until the SE came out.

Joke recognition fail.

And the new wampa shots were not needed and ruined the suspense and mystery of the scene.
