They could make a lot of types of special effects look more believable in '97 as compared to '77-'83, but they were still a long way from being able to create realistic looking people or critters entirely from CGI.

I don't know, Jurassic Park was 4 years earlier, was much more ambtious, and looked 10 times better.  I think the challenge was that they were trying to add CGI to a 20-year old film, and a deleted scene at that.  Just a bad idea to being with.  Yes, Jabba always looked awful.

 That's because Jurassic Park used few, if any, 100% CGI critters. Most of it was animatronics with perhaps some CGI enhancement. And if there were any 100% CGI critters, they were helped tremendously by dark lighting and other filming techniques (which also helped the look of the animatronics).
