Dammit, I always forget something!

Yes okay, the Rancor. I know this comes across as defensive, but to be fair, the Rancor effects were pretty darn good for its time and in my opinion hasn’t aged that bad (I’ll admit it feels a little fake when it’s holding Luke).

Rathars seem just tossed in and used halfheartedly. I think it would had been better managed if say the Rathars pulled a ANH trash compactor stunt. You hear the eerie sounds of them, and then seconds later, the tentacles wrap around the ‘bad guys’ from under the vents. Cue time for the heroes to make a escape while we leave behind the monsters and let them deal with Han’s debt collectors! Just got too excessive for that sequence to partially eat Finn.

(PS. the Wampas was originally meant to have a few funny moments in the deleted scenes from ESB where they attack Echo base, are locked in a room, and eventually released on the stormtroopers by C-3PO.)

It speaks volumes though when you consider they are indeed, “deleted scenes.” It came across as incredibly cheesy.

Edit: Silly “mistake”
