It was probably an unusual amount of money. Like he said, Han's one of the best, so it was probably some serious cargo that he lost. I don't mind the scene that much. Yes it has CGI jank, but it's fun seeing Jabba out and about.
To be fair, that's probably the only part of the new scenes I like. Just the absurdity of Han calling Jabba a "wonderful human being" is damn hilarious.
Anyone who pays attention to George's changes at this point should know he has a knack for repurposing unintended gaffes into deliberate jokes. If George didn't think "You're a wonderful human being" made sense, he wouldn't have kept it in. Han is clearly being a smartass, at least he is in the context of how the scene now plays out.
@AT Productions Of course, That's why it was kept in. George could have easily ADR'd it out with something else or muted it but he clearly chose to keep it in for a reason.
The choice to have Han stamp on Jabba's tail is so weird. It puts Jabba in a real submissive position, like Jabba's the one who's supposed to be scared of Han, not vice versa.
It was because of a technical difficulty, when George Lucas was adding cgi Jana the hutt to this scene he realized that Harrison Ford was walking around jabba and his tail was in the way so he had to add the sound effect
@@Dutch_van_der_linde939 well yes obviously seeing as how both him and Chewie were surrounded by Jabba and his goons, one of which was Boba Fett. Perhaps scared isn't the word but this scene feels very out of place and does not fit in very well. It's better that it was cut out.
I think that’s sort of why they updated it in the 2004 version to make Jaba look more angry that he stepped on his tail. Hutts are known to be greedy so he quickly forgets when Han offers a bigger percentage. But they also adjusted the way he threatens Han at the end with a bounty look more menacing.
The impression I received from Jabba in ROTJ is that he's a sedentary being that doesn't really go anywhere. All the field work is done by his emissaries and enforcers while he resides in his palace. It's therefore bizarre to see him leading a search for Han himself.
Yarp. George claims originally Jabba was imagined to be a fuzzy creature like Chewbacca and they were going to animate over the actor using stop motion. So I guess it’s just that George Lucas brand humor.
I love how Han calling Jabba a lovely human being never changes. Really shows that no matter what Jabba looked like, he was still the same monster underneath.
As Marcia Lucas pointed out to George, Han knew he was still too valuable for Janna to kill him, so he was pressing his luck. So in a way, this scene makes sense.
I mean I’m assuming it’s not greedo, just someone of the same species. In that same tie stamp (4:22) there’s literally another “greedo” in the background. It’s not greedo, just another of his kind
There will always be a lot of opinions about this scene but the one thing that deserves praise is the dialogue both from the human version and slug version... both of the voices are fantastic too
I disagree 1. The dialogue reuses certain lines from the Greedo scene. It's really strange to see Han repeat the exact phrase "even I get boarded sometimes. You think I had a choice?" 2. The dialogue makes Jabba look like a blind idiot, diminishing any intimidation factor he had in Return of the Jedi 3. The dialogue tells us nothing new that we don't already find out in either A New Hope or Return of the Jedi
I will say… the 1997 version looks more convincing like he’s actually there physically but looks nothing like Jabba. Then the rerelease looks more like Jabba… but doesn’t look convincingly physically there. SOME DAY we will get a convincing version of Jabba.
First Jabba: An interesting design, but weird to see him human and speaking basic. Second Jabba: AHHH! KILL IT WITH FIRE! Third Jabba: Now that's more like it.
The 1997 Jabba looked awful, the 2004 Jabba looked decent but still not great, I’m just glad that George Lucas changed it again. But neither can top the original ROTJ Jabba, that one is flawless
I honestly don’t understand why people have to shit all over the 2004 version. I mean the CGI doesn’t entirely hold up but it honestly looks WAAAAYYY better than the 1997 version I mean WTF was that?!?!?!
I was so excited to see this scene when I went to the Cinema in 1997 because I've read the novelization of New Hope and this scene was in there but it wasn't in the original movie. Now come to think of it - I do agree it's actually better that this scene was left out because if they only talk about Jabba but he's not there, it makes him feel more powerful like he has this almighty reach all over the place + there's a suspense building up towards the 3rd movie. I was surprised people were so mad about the rereleases of the Star Wars movies. I thought most of the additions were pretty awesome. In particular I loved what they did with Empire and the Cloud City. The only thing I thought was dumb and unnecessary was that replacement of the band in the Jabba Palace. The original band was better.
I liked that they resurrected a scene that didn't make into the original cut. But it's not the scene I wanted to see most of all. When I was a kid in the 1970's, my school's library had a "Star Wars" picture book. It told the story, but had huge photos from the movie. One photo I most remember was of Luke and Biggs on Tatooine, and Biggs is saying goodbye to Luke. That would have made Luke's reunion with Biggs, and Biggs's death in the Death Star battle, more meaningful. Even more meaningful when you add that Luke's other wingman, Wedge Antilles, was the son of the late Captain Antilles, the pilot of the ship Vader captured at the beginning of the movie.
I had seen the original countless times or so before the 97 release. I’m fine with this scene being included now. I will never get to see the movie again for the first time so doesn’t matter anymore
the 1997 edit was so bad. He didn't even look like he was supposed to. But the whole scene should never have been added. Han stepping on his tail was so dumb.
They should delete this scene, because it's useless and reveals Jabba too soon in addition to make him less intimidating. Instead of this scene, they should add the scenes with Biggs on Tatooine.
More than anything else, it's just boring. It brings the whole departure from Mos Eisley sequence to a screeching halt for a minute and a half just for a dull dialogue scene that you're just kind of awkwardly waiting to get through
I remember watching the original scene as a kid and been so confused by the rest of the trilogy with the other Jabba. Cause EP4 was the human and EP6 was the slug. Then I understood what Lucas wanted to achieve
Here is something I just noticed if you look at the original compared to 2004 and 1994,You can See boba fett in these versions ,Standing next To jabba,However in the 1977 version,Boba Is nowhere because he first appeared in the empire strikes back
A pointless scene that also feels out of character. A mob boss (who can barely move) exposing himself in the open during the day? No way. Jabba's personality also feels too upbeat here. That - and stepping on his tail - diminishes his imposing presence we see in RETURN OF THE JEDI.
The Jabba we have is great already, but I would like to see them introduce a character similar to the original human version of Jabba. Just the few lines he has in this scene already shows potential.
Plus why would they have the actor wear such a fancy get up? Anytime they do that kind of effect they are usually dressed in like a leotard and the footage looks notably rough
Lucas should have never put this scene back in. The cgi was horrible in 1997 and only minimally better in 2004. Someone should redo this scene again now that the technology has so drastically improved.
@@MrHalohunter24 Yeah. Makes sense. I still would love to see those few extra seconds of original footage. Just to see the empty space where they put him in.
I think Jabba and Han got along very well to the point Jabba did not punish Han for stepping on his tail. However, to maintain his reputation, Jabba needed to punish Solo for jettisoning valuable Hutt cargo into space when Han's ship was boarded by Imperial patrols. Despite this, Jabba gave Han the chance to redeem himself by paying money (the cost the cargo was worth). Han tried to pay back but pirates who worked for Jabba stole the money Han had when he arrived in Tatooine.
God the 2004 version looks so tacky, who the hell saw that god awful tail step and thought, “yeah that’s fine”.?! And the human being line at the end makes zero sense with the CGI slug version of Jabba.
Han is clearly being sarcastic, at least in this new context of the scene, just like how a sound effect was added to the Stormtrooper who whacked his head into the door. You really think George would have left that line in if he didn't want it there? It's mean to be ironic humor.
The House of Mouse bought the rights. It's been a mess ever since. As a major Han Solo fan..why not give us the "few maneuvers" from the Tatooine escape?
They should've never added jabbas. Listen to the star wars radio drama. They send Heater to represent jabba and he was very cunning, he reminded me of Dryden Voss. A real smooth talker
It's extra funny since he clearly holds a position of honor decades earlier at the Boonta Eve Classic. Then he makes this one appearance in between those two scenes with no pomp or fanfare.
Han stepping on his tail is so stupid. They could have just cut to a shot of Boba Fett looking at them, possible raising his rifle slightly as Han's tone gets a bit more aggressive with Jabba. When they cut back, Han could be on the other side, but it would just appear as though he had walked in front of him off camera, rather than on his tail.
It's like the people at ILM were on drugs to put this garbage out. We already saw the practical Jabba which was PERFECT. These are awful and look nothing like Jabba is supposed to. I just can't imagine what they were thinking to put something like this out as an "Improvement".
Seeing boba fett and Jabba the hut in episode 4, is like seeing ((Darth Tyranus and General Grievous in episode 1))!? Or seeing(( Darth Sidious and General pride in episode 7))!? You know those characters exist in that time period but it just feels weird that there Officially in the movie.🤔
People who complain that the cgi Jabba looks fake are being silly. Whether it's with puppetry or computers, it will always be fake, since the character is ultimately not real. I personally don't see any difference between a puppet creature or a cgi creature. Plus, the puppet from Episode VI took a lot of effort to build and operate and would've been immobile for this scene. People will argue that puppets look physical, which they are, but when I see what are supposed to be aliens being portrayed with puppetry in newer star wars stuff, I cannot help but be reminded that I am seeing a puppet. It might've worked in the original trilogy at the time, but just because it did then, doesn't mean it will again. Star Wars is a Space Fantasy. It's not supposed to be realistic. It's an example of a Modern Myth.
This should have just been a deleted “experimental” scene and not added back into the movie. It’s like during the 2000’s Lucas lost his damn mind and nitpicked with things that didn’t need to be bothered at all.
‘97 will always be my favorite. I know ‘04 looks more accurate, but I’ve always had a special connection to the 97 version, because I saw it in the theater as a kid, and back then I was blown away at this new scene in ANH.
I dunno. It compliments the puppet by showing up and behaving in a way not possible for the puppet. It places Jabba in the first film in Luke’s general neighborhood. Before that, from the perspective of seeing ROTJ for the first time, one would be forgiven for thinking Jabba lived on an entirely separate sand planet, as there’s so many creatures in Jabba’s palace that didn’t appear in the first film, like the Gamorians, the Twileks, the Rancor and the Sarlacc. This Jabba is seen out in the open, moving about like the slug that he is while keeping the mouth and eyes moving in as much a way like the puppet as they could get it at the time. I just rationalized it back in 1997 as what Jabba would look like standing up and moving around as opposed to lounging as he does in ROTJ.
Jabba could have rotated around to avoid getting his dear tail hurt, now that they clearly have to film that exact moment when Han goes to the other side.
For me, the weirdest thing is that Jabba left his palace just to come and yell at Han in person.
I guess mob bosses have to get their hands dirty
It was probably an unusual amount of money. Like he said, Han's one of the best, so it was probably some serious cargo that he lost.
I don't mind the scene that much. Yes it has CGI jank, but it's fun seeing Jabba out and about.
@@PTNLemay I'd figure that Jabba would care more about the prestige loss for losing the cargo than the money
The weirdest thing for me is that they didn't make that other Rhodian crony look any different from Greedo.
@@PTNLemay judging by his episode 6 appearance, he hasn't been out much since this scene...
Love how he still calls the giant slug alien a wonderful human being, almost like this scene was never supposed to be in the film
To be fair, that's probably the only part of the new scenes I like. Just the absurdity of Han calling Jabba a "wonderful human being" is damn hilarious.
Not to mention that they just repeat the dialogue verbatim from the Greedo scene.
Its because they used the same dialogue from the deleted scene where Jabba's a human

Seeing boba fett and Jabba the hut in episode 4, is like seeing ((Darth Tyranus and General Grievous in episode 1))!? Or seeing(( Darth Sidious and General pride in episode 7))!? You know those characters exist in that time period but it just feels weird that there Officially in the movie.🤔
People who complain that the cgi Jabba looks fake are being silly. Whether it's with puppetry or computers, it will always be fake, since the character is ultimately not real. I personally don't see any difference between a puppet creature or a cgi creature. Plus, the puppet from Episode VI took a lot of effort to build and operate and would've been immobile for this scene.
People will argue that puppets look physical, which they are, but when I see what are supposed to be aliens being portrayed with puppetry in newer star wars stuff, I cannot help but be reminded that I am seeing a puppet. It might've worked in the original trilogy at the time, but just because it did then, doesn't mean it will again.
Star Wars is a Space Fantasy. It's not supposed to be realistic. It's an example of a Modern Myth.
Love how absolutely unnecessary Boba Fett was. Just stops dead center and stares at the camera just to really sell… that he’s there
This should have just been a deleted “experimental” scene and not added back into the movie. It’s like during the 2000’s Lucas lost his damn mind and nitpicked with things that didn’t need to be bothered at all.
Check out 237 the lasy word he says is a real word in Finnish, meaning "s**t". Was someone having a laugh? 🤣
A fat human Jabba would have worked the best in the end honestly.
personally, as a giant green slug, I was offended by this depiction of my species.
Why did they change it?
Well with how manny times the movie has been changed it’s not a surprise

True*
Why, do you miss 1997 Jabba? (1:20)
jabba youre a wonderful human being
There's a newer version and Jabba is a hologram.
love RotJ, but this scene I found better than the CGI reworked edition.
i like how the hut word for for fry is crispo
0:23 is that Norm Peterson from Cheers ?
I don't like human jabba
Where did you get the 1997 footage?
Harmys 1997 release
Didn't Lucas show it in the behind the scenes extra?
In a parallel universe human Jabba is the official character
5:55 That moment when you realize that my boy is “mah bookie” in Huttese.
Ah yah dude is a good day 2 be in hear my old friend..
3:20 why is greedo on the background lol
‘97 will always be my favorite.
I know ‘04 looks more accurate, but I’ve always had a special connection to the 97 version, because I saw it in the theater as a kid, and back then I was blown away at this new scene in ANH.
Can you say… you love the 97 Jabba’s ??
I concur
You have to admit though, ‘97 Jabba looks super dated and is hard to look at if you have no nostalgia
I dunno. It compliments the puppet by showing up and behaving in a way not possible for the puppet. It places Jabba in the first film in Luke’s general neighborhood. Before that, from the perspective of seeing ROTJ for the first time, one would be forgiven for thinking Jabba lived on an entirely separate sand planet, as there’s so many creatures in Jabba’s palace that didn’t appear in the first film, like the Gamorians, the Twileks, the Rancor and the Sarlacc.
This Jabba is seen out in the open, moving about like the slug that he is while keeping the mouth and eyes moving in as much a way like the puppet as they could get it at the time. I just rationalized it back in 1997 as what Jabba would look like standing up and moving around as opposed to lounging as he does in ROTJ.
01:29 This Jabba doesn't look intimidating at all. He looks comical.
He's sexy
Is this scene still in the movie now? It shouldn’t imo
1997 jabba did not age well at all
I guess not all the new edits were bad. 97 Jabba… yeesh
2:07 I died 😂
My poor big sexy jabba I'd protect him
Jabba could have rotated around to avoid getting his dear tail hurt, now that they clearly have to film that exact moment when Han goes to the other side.
I'd protect big Jabba
Somehow I like the 1997 version better than the 2004 version 😂 but both of them are crap
All Three looks awful
Funny that Solo still call him HUMAN after the change.
