Come on, I mean it's supposed to be a miserable place. I mean who would want to hang out in Jabba's palace. And since when did Bobba Fett care about women. Did anyone else notice those two aliens in bikinis hanging around Bobba Fett? God.

I didn't mind Boba picking up chicks. I like making him a guy basically. I didn't like the Jedi Rocks music number but its better then Yub Nub. Thats not saying much though.

Bobba hiting on women does make sense, in a way. He's a bounty hunter, right? So he wants money. And what does he do with his money? Buy comic books? I think NOT. BTW that's something that always bugged me, Bobba Fett didn't want Han Solo to die on the carbon freezing because Jabba was going to pay him a lot of money, and I kept thinking "ok, but what is he going to do with the money? buy a little place in aspen?"

I really do understand why GL wanted to do a nifty-childi-like musical number on Jabba's palace, it was this contrast thing of how horrible they were: while they killed and tortured people who begged for their lifes, they were listening to a musical act, if you think about it it DOES make sense. The only problem is the new CGI, other than that, I have no problems with that scene.

I agree that it made sense, but in a different way...

If you are a gangster and all you do is sit around all day tending to your crime families business, you are bound to want some sort of entertainment. I was always fine with the concept, but the follow through is what got me. It was fine the way it was, why make it into a spectical?

I like the idea of Jabba having entairtainment but the Jedi rocks song wasn't the right way. It really just sounds almost as bad as an Usher concert. Maybe thats going to far but it isn't very good. Still its in Return of the Jedi which makes it tolarable. If something like it had been added into The Empire Strikes Back I would have been pissed. I also like the idea of Boba as a pimp.

What do you think the girl who fell into the pit was for?

She refused to put out, so Jabba killed her. The Bastard.

OK, so, if the Bobba thing is so controvesrial, tell me, what would he do with the money he got from Vader and Jabba?

And I know how GL can fix the Jedi Rock for the ultimate version... Three words: Eletric Light Orchestra! "Xanadu! Xanadu!"

Jedi Rocks is just another example of Lucas basically thinking up changes as he went. Any excuse like budget and time is just crap, especially in regards to the musical number scene. Jabba's Palace was loaded with creatures and they could've easily used as many of them as they needed as members of the band. They obviously didn't intend to have that.

i just HATE the "oho" of the singer when she/it stops singing. it destroys the scene, why add a funny bit in it, it was really not appropriate.

There is nothing appropriate about the scene at all. If I made my own edit, it would be the first think to go.

Question: Is Lapti Nek the song they play right before Jedi Rocks, or is it deleted entirely from the SE??

Originally, when it came back from the dungeon, it was the musical number in progress, with Sy Snootles signing Lapti Nek and Oola getting fed to the Rancor.

In the SE, after the dungeon scene it cuts to a different musical number just as it ends. Jabba going "Do that again" was never there.

The dumb thing is, they don't do it again. They do something much much worse.

I have such a special place in my heart for Lapti Nek. In High School, our marching band used to have that piece of music which we played in the stands, usually at the end of 3rd quarter as I recall. Having played Lapti Nek for five seasons (I was drafted into HS band when I was in middle school; I didn't flunk a grade) I really loved that song. That cheesy replacement pointlessly broke the dark mood which, I should add, was not broken by Lapti Nek. To be clear: John Williams did not write "Jedi Rocks." And what a stupid-ass title for a song sung in ROTJ in Jabba's palace. Lucas, if you wanted to make a CG sy snootles and add a Yuzzum and other pointless stuff, I don't really care, but why did you screw with the music? Now you can't even get Lapti Nek on the soundtrack. You have to dig up the boxed set on CD.

The whole reason the song was changed was most likely because Lucas wanted to show off some CGI with Joh Yowza and the new Sy Snootles. While they’re impressive CGI creations in themselves, they don’t belong in a 1983 film (The Hensonesque puppets/muppets and costumes belong in that era), and neither does Jedi Rocks, which as mentioned before, isn’t even John Williams’ work.

I also (as I started a thread on its own about) can’t stand the way the RTJ soundtrack album also has those songs replaced. If you’re going to include alternate versions of tracks (Sail Barge Assault) that weren’t ever in the film, why not include material that “once was”?

Lucas is systematically destroying the Original Cut--even when the original scene was better. It is madness.

You know, I have seen somewhere around here that GL is a budist, well, by not giving what his fans want and being selfish he is distancing himself from the budism's precets and going away from the ilumination of nirvana. We should challenge him for a debate, he couldn't possibly win!

OK I'm done with my useless, unrelated post. Go on.

Get ready for more GL musical hilarity in Ep III. I read (on the official site was it?) recently in an interview with GL that he realized we haven't had a stunning song and dance number in the prequels yet, so look for that in Episode III.

That ought to fit in REALLY nice with the republic being overrun by a tyrant, and our hero being burned alive in a volcano, only emerging alive and converted into the most purely evil being in the galaxy. Oh, and being torn from his secret wife and newborn children too. Damn, we really need some singing and dancing in that story.

I think the dark side is growing in that goiter of his.

Here's the link:

And here's the relevant text:
With the prequel trilogy lacking in elaborate musical numbers, Aaron McBride and the rest of the Art Department were given the task to create visuals for a new spectacular in Episode III.
