I don't mind Jabba in ANH so much, but I would have changed his dialogue somewhat to make it less redundant from Greedo's dialogue. I've actually done this in my re-edit of the ANH SE as an optional subtitle track. Also, I would have used the original puppet instead of a CG recreation. Film the puppet meticulously against a blue screen and superimpose it in instead of the CG nightmare that was. Kinda like how we saw Tom Hanks shake hands with President Kennedy. Reason being ... the puppet looked real because the puppet WAS real. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING created in a computer looks tactile.

So, if they actually took the time to make a new CG Jabba in 2004, why couldn't they at least get his eye color right? Jabba's eyes were a deep red, not yellow. They spent this kind of time making the CG yoda look as much like the ESB puppet as they could. Why didn't they spend that kind of time on Jabba? Hacks!
