Re-doing the CGI Jabba is unacceptable. Everyone here already knows that though.
The Jabba scene for me would be better as an extra on the DVD or BluRay, not as part of the film. Let alone the fact that most of the dialogue is in the Greedo scene, the CGI Jabba just looks bad no matter which version youre watching. The CGI would pass if the scene was an extra because it would just give people an idea of where Lucas would have gone if he had included the scene in the final film. But as inclusion in the final film, it just doesnt work IMO.
That’s exactly what that scene needs to be.
It was quite fun in 1997, before there were DVD extras as we know them today. It was a neat way of getting to see some unused footage of Han Solo on the big screen, and I was all for it, regardless of the way Jabba looked.
I remember when I first got a DVD with seamless branching to deleted scenes (the first X-men), thinking that this would be a great way to present Star Wars. But no. George’s threats on the final OOT VHS release, stating that it would never be seen again, were not just a marketing gimmick. It was the mind boggling truth.
