I think my feelings about the Sarlacc and especially the victory celebration can be chalked up to the fact that I'd never seen ROTJ before going to the theater in 97, and my parents weren't big enough Star Wars fans to own it on video before I got the SE VHS box set that year for my birthday. That was the version I wore out in my childhood, so Victory Celebration IS the proper music with all the trappings of nostalgia for me. As for the Sarlacc, it looks pretty bad, but the fact that it's just been stuck in to existing shots without adding any running time and messing with the pacing make it less of an issue for me than, say, the rontos in Mos Eisley.
