I find it problematic because its rubber tentacles. It’s where I am yanked out of a galaxy far far away and forced to be in an Ed Wood movie for five minutes. I’m also surprised that the bit George fiddled with in the special editions was the totally fine eye stalk and not the terrible tentacles in all their horrid crappiness.
Fair enough. They never seemed to bother me though. I think they look more realistic than the CGI monsters.
The other stuff that I mentioned in those scenes is what stands out to me more.
