I'm always so amazed how fucking amazing Jabba looks in comparison to anything in the prequels.
THIS IS HOW YOU DO SPECIAL EFFECTS GEORGE!!! This Jabba looks 1,000,000X better than that shitty CG Jabba from the deleted scenes in A New Hope that you insist on putting in the movie as if it's a real representation of Jabba's character (If Han stepped on Jabba, Jabba would have his thugs break his knee caps and confiscate his ship)
Alright, I'll admit, the remastered Sy Snootles look better. But why'd they have to change the song? In the remastered version, it they played one called "Jedi Rocks". Wouldn't Jabba be pissed that they're playing something about Jedis? Unless, of course, the song is about Jedis getting killed... But Lapti Nek sounds so much better. And also seems to suit Jabba and his palace better.
Anyone that doesn't want to snort coke to this is a fag. Funk from another galaxy. Who cares what she's singing killer groove and vibe spew off the music and sheer genius behind it.
Updating the effects is one thing, but why change the song and the whole number into this ridiculous music video? Sadly, at the age of 25, I've likely seen the re-done version more than this one.
Im sorry to say this, but this scene is really crappy especially with the goofy looking puppet singer, im knda glad that they fixed this scene up in the special edition versions
Interestingly enough, Femi Taylor (the actress who plays Oola, the green Twi'lek dancer) said in an interview she prefers this version over the special edition. Can't blame her, can you?
@MySushiBear Puppets age so much better then crappy cgi, which already looks like junk. I will admit that the three new backup dancers are very cool. But they could have been added into the scene without changing everything else.
@MixtursahProductions Well she said she was a little biased. You really get to see more of Oola in this version, which I enjoy more as well. In the special edition, they don't focus on her as much, mainy on the new cgi additions and added characters. Not to mention the argument between Oola and Jabba was cut differently in it for some reason.
@MMRED It seems a lot of online retailers have seriously jacked up the price, but it's still available some places for like $35-$40. YouTube won't let me link to it, but it's a blue and black box with Vader's mask taking up the top third of the box, Luke and Vader dueling over the Star Wars logo dead center, and large IV, V, VI along the bottom.
The aliens look more real than that cartoony badly-done CGI he replaced this with. And this song is way better and not corny.
I remember watching the behind-the-scenes for this version on a tape called "From Star Wars to Jedi" and them showing the hard work the puppeteers put in. The CGI scene is the ultimate insult.
don't really understand all the hate towards the newer version of the original trilogy. I just finished watching all three movies in blu-ray, and these editions are AWESOME, I can't watch the older ones anymore... seriously, why the hell people disagree with Ian McDiarmid appearing in HIS own character in ep. V? Or the digital Jabba in ep. IV which completes the circle of the Han mini-plot? Not to mention all the problems fixed... 2011 Star Wars complete saga is the ultimate and the best
and for the most traditional fans, the scene with Greedo now is pretty much like the original, they just shoot together,Han's still a badass. Christensen for his cameo in ep. VI didn't act very well, but the scene itself is correct, we see the ghost of Anakin Skywalker as he was before turning to the dark side. The "noooo" in the end duel is bad just for english, because my italian version is well dubbed and Italian voice of Vader is way much better than J.E. Jones...
@slaskrevenge George replaced this song with the crappy, badly-done CGI Jedi Rocks sequence. It's a huge insult to the people that originally worked really hard on the scene. The digital Jabba still doesn't look good and the scene is redundant, although I don't care that he added it.
Han shot first and it's ridiculous to change his character like that. The blast when he originally shot Greedo looks much cooler. Hayden Christensen did a bad job reprising his role as Anakin's ghost.
@slaskrevenge What else? The voice actor George replaced for Boba Fett is worse and weaker than the menacing voice he originally had. I do agree with you about Ian McDiarmid, though, but Star Wars fans usually don't point that scene out. It's the only improvement George made, but everything else was unnecessary and in most cases worse.
I bet the quality of the Blu-ray is amazing, which is why we wish he also remastered the original versions and included them, too.
@TheOneartist i don't really think the puppets looked more real.They're just "statues".It's not an insult,those people get paid for their job,now Lucas is just fixing things he coulnd't have like he wanted before.Audience can agree or not,but it's not a wrong process.To me digital Jabba looks fine,and the Greedo killing is not "for defence" anymore.He didn't include original versions because these are the SW Final cut. Neither Blade Runner got its original edition blu-ray,but no one complains
@slaskrevenge Blade Runner is different. Ridley Scott would have made the film he wanted had the studio not gone against his and Harrison Ford's wishes and screwed things up. He had to record his narration in between bursts of anger. After that came the so-called "Director's Cut", but Ridley wasn't directly involved and it was based off some notes he gave. The Final Cut was finally his chance. He didn't use CGI to add to the film. He only used it to take away some technical mistakes, like wires.
@slaskrevenge Also, Blade Runner did indeed have all of its versions released on DVD and Blu-ray using the highest source material. It's part of the "five-disc complete collector's edition".
What George Lucas did is add some bad CGI enhancements as well as unnecessary changes that actually take away from Star Wars. And he was in control when he made the original versions. Yet he didn't release them remastered or anamorphic on DVD, and they're not on the Blu-ray. Ridiculous.
@TheOneartist Nope. The original Blade Runner on blu-ray doesn't exist. It's on dvd, AS the original Star Wars are. And even in the old trilogy adjustments were made to take away technical mistakes (take a look at ALL the changes made, and you'll notice how many things were improved). He was in control at the time, but he hadn't the means to make the films he wanted.
@slaskrevenge Go on Amazon, type in Blade Runner and click on "Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] (2007)". All the versions exist on Blu-ray, including the workprint. You're probably not looking in the right place. There were two Blu-ray versions released: the two-disc Final Cut and the 5-disc with all the versions. 1080p using high quality sources, not a hastily transferred non-anamorphic Laserdisc source like on the Star Wars DVD's.
That has to be one of the ugliest puppets I've ever seen, but I'd rather have that than the cartoony and incredibly out of place cg-thing in the later editions.:P
@gusbaker4u Exactly, this feels like a grotty sleazy bar with the rough singer and jazz. The new version is SO over processed and plastic. This feels sleazy like in the Episode 4 bar.
I went to see Return of the Jedi in the theaters when they re-released it as special edition. When they got to this scene and I saw they completely changed it I WALKED OUT of the theater (yes I did). This is one of my favourite scenes from the original triology. I was so mad that they put that CGI crap in there and took the original scene out completely! It made me mad enough to leave the theater, go home and pop in my old ROTJ VHS.
@DaveyJonesesLocka Really. I feel bad that I hadn't seen this until today, but I find the original Sy Snootles very funny. My fav part was the beginning where Snootles:I callin' in a nisa.
Just cracks me up. As for the other version... well. The drummer was good.
@DaveyJonesesLocka I didn't like Ya Howza either. Nor did I like the reworking of the ending with Hayden Christensen in place of Sebastian Shaw and no Yub Nub.
@DaveyJonesesLocka Too Sentimental if you ask me. You wasted your money because of ONE scene? I would have just sucked it up and kept watching. I think the song is slightly better here, but the CG and the extended scene is better on the special edition. Plus you get to see Boba Fett silently flirt with a dancer. So I don't think you should have left.
We used to have two different sets of the VHS versions of the original SW films (I don't know why we had two but we had two) and then my mom just left all our VHS videos out in a bin one day w/o our permission. I REALLY wish we still had those videos!
Huh. Thumbs up if you never realized until now that this is the same alien chick as the one who was running around singing crazy in the special edition version.
Every single piece of CGI shit "triple chin" Lucas added to the original trilogy is a fuckin' disgrace & a tragedy. I hate that cocksucker beyond words.
I was born in 1989 and grew up with the originals. The bloody originals. I absolutely hated when the remakes came out. I even disliked the "first three" that were made after because there was a beauty to 1980s film which was: the special effects and puppets! In the originals Yoda was a physical, moving, presence! -NOT a dumb CGI!
holy jesus fucking god almighty in glorious heaven this is SOOOO much better than that steaming shit pile of outdated, soulless CGI that lucas raped my childhood with
Why did jabba kill oola? Was she trying to pull jabba of of his stage thing? To me oola was just dancing then randomly began talking jibberesh then she gets killed. I don't get it.
@az19all then how come jabba was a hero in the clone wars? it seems like jabba was good in the new trilogy, but in the original trilogy he was a gangster.
@jabba820 After watching her dance, Jabba wanted to have sex with her. So he pulled the chain(that's what he does to get the dancer near him). Oola already knew what the chain pull meant and was like super-scared of Jabba when he wants to have sex. So she resisted(she probably has done it ever since the first time). Info comes from wookiepedia.
But when it came time for "Lapti Nek" to have its first official release, Annie Arbogasts' rough and somewhat screechy vocal was replaced by a vocal track from a professional singer, Michele Gruska.
I sort of prefer the animated Sy Snootles because it actually looks like she's dancing and singing, but I HATE that fuzzy big mouth thing in the Special Edition. It's like a fuzzy cockroach or something.
Dude this song was so awesome. Guess I'm a purist, but wtf was he thinking changing this. The jedi rocks song BLOWS. Seeing this again I remembered every note. Its catchy. Unlike the new song which sounds like sea lions being sodomized through a PA system.
Dare to change this scene because the song he composed Lapti Nek John Williams was replaced in the remastered version of the song Jedi Rocks, which is more outrageous and therefore had to change certain parts of the scene so that the music does not stay outside context, hence its name Incidental Music.
i watched a making of how they made the band moving etc. and somehow it's kinda a slap in the face of the people who put so much afford into it. i still can't belive that in the special edition they changed the band and this great song, in some silly crap ass animated souless junk, there was no point of chaning it at all.
The Star Wars I grew up with was a set of poor quality mono VHS recordings from USA Network that my dad made around 1994-ish when I was an infant. They have edits for time, but nothing major is removed (just a few seconds here and there). They are commercial-free because my dad had it on pause during every break. I still have the tapes, but they have been heavily watched and are in poor condition.
I didn't see any version of the Special Edition until around 2006, and have always hated it.
THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. Hands down this was the most random/unneccessary scene edit that Lucas made to any of the original trilogy. Except when he added in Hadyn Christiansen at the end... and removed the Ewok song... and err... actually every edit he made. BASTARD!
@SCfnL29 Oh come on, some of the changes were actuall good or alright. Like adding Luke's reunion with Biggs in the hanger or changing Vader's return to the flagship in Empire.
Se atreven a cambiar esta escena porque la canción Lapti Nek que compuso John Williams fue remplazada en la edición Remasterizada por la canción Jedi Rocks, que resulto más estrafalaria y por ende debierón cambiar ciertas partes de la escena para que la música no quedara fuera de contexto, de ahí su nombre de Música Incidental.
Couldn't agree with all the posts here. I prefer this song alot more to the 'new' version. But it was good to see more of Oola in the updated version. She is gorgeous and should have had a more prominant part. If they'd had more time and money, according to Femi Taylor (who plays her), then they would have stuck to the original plan in which Oola actually escapes ..shame.
@Shavarnarak Jabba LOVED him some epic lulz! He also LOVED perving the humanoids. Who can blame him? Hutts are too fat and lazy to be loved... like americans!
I spent around 5 hours converting the pre-mastered laser-disc editions to dvd so I could watch the original trilogy. The definition's not great, was it worth the trouble? *hell yeah*
I just saw the re edited version of this scene and it sucked.

Info comes from wookiepedia.

But when it came time for "Lapti Nek" to have its first official release, Annie Arbogasts' rough and somewhat screechy vocal was replaced by a vocal track from a professional singer, Michele Gruska.

I sort of prefer the animated Sy Snootles because it actually looks like she's dancing and singing, but I HATE that fuzzy big mouth thing in the Special Edition. It's like a fuzzy cockroach or something.

Dude this song was so awesome. Guess I'm a purist, but wtf was he thinking changing this. The jedi rocks song BLOWS. Seeing this again I remembered every note. Its catchy. Unlike the new song which sounds like sea lions being sodomized through a PA system.

Dare to change this scene because the song he composed Lapti Nek John Williams was replaced in the remastered version of the song Jedi Rocks, which is more outrageous and therefore had to change certain parts of the scene so that the music does not stay outside context, hence its name Incidental Music.

i watched a making of how they made the band moving etc. and somehow it's kinda a slap in the face of the people who put so much afford into it. i still can't belive that in the special edition they changed the band and this great song, in some silly crap ass animated souless junk, there was no point of chaning it at all.

The Star Wars I grew up with was a set of poor quality mono VHS recordings from USA Network that my dad made around 1994-ish when I was an infant. They have edits for time, but nothing major is removed (just a few seconds here and there). They are commercial-free because my dad had it on pause during every break. I still have the tapes, but they have been heavily watched and are in poor condition.
I didn't see any version of the Special Edition until around 2006, and have always hated it.

THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. Hands down this was the most random/unneccessary scene edit that Lucas made to any of the original trilogy. Except when he added in Hadyn Christiansen at the end... and removed the Ewok song... and err... actually every edit he made. BASTARD!

Se atreven a cambiar esta escena porque la canción Lapti Nek que compuso John Williams fue remplazada en la edición Remasterizada por la canción Jedi Rocks, que resulto más estrafalaria y por ende debierón cambiar ciertas partes de la escena para que la música no quedara fuera de contexto, de ahí su nombre de Música Incidental.

Couldn't agree with all the posts here. I prefer this song alot more to the 'new' version. But it was good to see more of Oola in the updated version. She is gorgeous and should have had a more prominant part. If they'd had more time and money, according to Femi Taylor (who plays her), then they would have stuck to the original plan in which Oola actually escapes ..shame.
