^I noticed it but couldn’t get a good look at it either time I saw it because the shot was so damn dark. I’m hoping the blu ray is a little clearer.
If I’m thinking of the right alien, it looked just like the first one we see in the cantina scene in ANH–the one with the triangular head.
This guy?

That is what I thought too.
Nah, that’s not quite what it looked like, but it’s very similar. The head was much longer, and the eyes wider, as well as red rather than yellow. I also don’t think it was meant to be a sentient life form, but some form of animal. I could be wrong, but at least it’s more of a Jawa-type creature.
