Jabba in a new hope

It annoys me too, i thought, hmm they could cut it off so he just goes "Jabba..." like a threat. But then i was like, whoah ho that would be way to crazy nutso instant retribution style, but if Jabba was a sissy then sure.

Jabba was always going to be a creature added in later, that's why Lucas said he cut it. So calling him a human being was always going to be a joke, because he was always going to be a creature, I don't know if it was going to be the slug Jabba turned out to be, but it was supposed to be a big monster of sorts. They had that guy stand there in a fat suit to give Harrison a feeling of Jabba's girth, because they'd knew he was to be big.

As for size, I agree that he was never tall, but the 97 version, he was THIN, and that's the complaint about size. He's fat now, so I'm fine with size.

Maybe my humor circuits are malfunctioning, but how is calling Jabba a human being possibly funny?

I actually quite enjoy the scene, and Lucas says on the commentarry that he had always meant on putting a claymation character in instead of the furry guy, but it didn't look right.

jabba was just a big wuss in ep4, it makes no sense.
he looks and acts absolutely nothing like jabba in ep6...the REAL jabba that is.

i have a theory though:

the CG jabba is an imposter. Jabba doesnt like to leave his palace so he sends his gay cousin out to speak on his behalf.

rofl!!

i have to admit.. that's a pretty ****in funny theory.
I'm ready to buy into that one.

Does Han say the exact same lines to Jabba that he says to Greedo? "Even I get boarded sometimes" It's hard to tell if the Jabba scene has been dubbed or not but it sounds like the exact same voice tone doing both lines.

That's cuz they were recorded at about the same time, so Harrisson sounds the same. And I don't believe so, about the line. He does sort of rehash the concept, but it's not the same dialogue.

the line was in the jabba scene. lucas dumped the jabba scene and spliced the line into the greedo scene...originally...which worked just fine and needed no 'fixing'

godd**n mothaf***in' fixin'....

oh s**t, was that outloud? 😇

😗

here, i took some screencaps. these are not the same hutts!

If only the ILM chaps had acess to that photograph... Tsk. tsk.

*ROTFLMAO @ Jericho*

oh c'mon, they look close enough. Ones a model one is cg, they're close enough that we get it. I think that's a little too nitpicky

I don't agree, if you're desperate to fix up a scene, you do it either right and perfect or hold down the feeling and do nothing

Please for goodness sake get a grip.I love these movies with all my heart but to rip them apart and analyse every scene is ridiculous.Accept the fact that all movies have flaws and STAR WARS is no different.What was it that captured you in the first place? Think about it then think did i rip it apart scene for scene then? NO!!!!! Enjoy that galaxy far far away.....................I DO

good for you... but you're not everyone, so if people feel the urge to mention 24/7 that that lightsabre luke has aboard the falcon is green for a second, let them and you can simply ignore it

please, if complaints about the films annoy you, dont read the thread.
nobody is putting a gun to your head, sitting you down at your computer,
and saying "READ THIS OR YOU'RE DEAD!!!"

I agree with him though, does it really detract from the scene that much for you? If it does, Im sorry. But that is a little sad. A big green slug looks like a big green slug to me. I get that the model looks different because it was there and the cgi one looks cgi. But it doesn't kill a scene for me. Guess I'm just a freak! 🤪

guess you are 😛

the cg version is a product of neglect.
if GL wanted to 'perfect' his OT, he should have done just that.
the ep1 and ep4 jabbas are done halfassed. the eyes are different, the nose, the mouth, the skin texture, his arms...everything is just different enough to not look like ep6 jabba.

if they really tried, they could have duplicated the skin texture and facial features exactly. look at yoda for christs sake! for ep2 they did a near-perfect job on him. there is no exuse for the way they screwed jabba up.
