Even though George Lucas allowed this in a new hope for some stupid reason, I’m not sure who designed this: A half blind 62year old or a kindergarten kid.

Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.

Oh neat, so this proves that Lucas didn’t have an effect in mind in 1976. What a shock.

I think Lucas had the idea of what sort of shot he wanted, but Jabba wasn’t designed until Jedi. For the SE he went back and had to use a shot that didn’t quite match the creature.

I am possibly the only person on planet that loves 1997 version of Jabba more then bluray version. I am aware that it lacks details, and has a more crude shape, but to me it lightning and its shape felt more realistic, blu ray version seams more cartoony. I have to defend myself by saying I am artist, aka not visually illiterate: http://i.imgur.com/KFCkWxq.jpg and 3d artist http://i.imgur.com/RDIfXcw.jpg

I can see why, but despite the shitty lighting, the model and lip-sync are superior. It’s the same model used in TPM, and it looks way better there.

“Which looks better?” is a question no one should be answering.

No doubt that newer model is superior, just seams poorly implemented.

Well… I was there, but the more I look at it the worse the 97 version looks. It has better colors, better alignment to the scene, but it is an inferior CG model. The replacement is closer to the original puppet… except in color. My ultimate solution is to rotoscope Jabba and color correct him separately.

97 Jabba over the replacement any day.

At least the 97 Jabba is almost hilariously bad.

True, because the 97 jabba is so bad you instantly know it shouldn’t be in the movie, whereas with 04 you have to think about it for half a second.

Definitely no more than half a second though, if at all.

I’ll say something sort of controversial - TPM Jabba looks better than both 1997 and 2004 Jabba. Anyone agree?

Funny you say something like that. TPM Jabba IS the 2004 Jabba. At least if you want to trust the marketing for the 2004 DVDs

I would buy it’s the same model, it probably just wasn’t composited/Incorporated as well in 2004.

Actually the colors of the 1997 CGI Jabba are spot-on accurate but the damn thing still looks like crap and it’s extremely hard for me to believe that he’d be mobile. The scene never worked at all and with the Greedo scene that precedes it the Jabba in the hangar scene just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

I hate this scene. It spoils the Jabba scenes in Jedi.
Also, it feels it shouldn’t even be there. I was really glad that Lucas or someone cut that out in 1977.

I think the editors cut it out. They completely recut the film to fix the horrible pacing problems. It seems like I heard that Greedo’s subtitles were used to change his dialogue after the seen was shot so they could put some information from the Jabba scene there.
I think Lucas was going to just have Jabba be a man (not that he might not have planned on making him an alien before it proved to difficult) but that the editors got rid of the scene because it was pointless and slowed the movie down.
There was a reason the film won best editing but not best director.
