my 2 cents (and they're worth about that)...

ADM, a most excellent edit of the SE RoTJ! kudos.

Now then, I'm a big Jabba fan. For whatever reason he's my favorite character in the OT. That's pretty profound when you consider that I only actually like about half of RoTJ.

warning...mad tirade coming...
(ewoks? come on...you take the concept of the wookies, switch the syllables from wook-E to E-wook...then you dress up the lollipop kids in funfur...it's so sad.)
mad tirade complete

Anyways...I love Jabba, but only the RoTJ version. Maybe it's the fact that he actually looks like he's based in reality. You'd figure that ILM could get a slug correct in CG, but the simple fact is that they haven't. They just can't seem to re-create the visceral repulsiveness that Jabba so embodied in Jedi with a computer. The dim light shining off his slime, that disgusting tongue licking Leia, the way that his eyes moved when he reacted...

My vote (for what its worth) is that he stays solely in Jedi.
