	I like the Original Dance Party more. I liked the song better, and Oola actually dances. In the SE, there's too much going on. Three new dancers, and two new Max Rebo Band players. -----signature----- "It's not what I am underneah; but what I do, defines me." -Batman, 'Batman Begins'

	hmmm i think i like them equaly,i grew up with the original i can remember recording onto tape the cantina band,max rebo band and the ewok song and used to play it all the time drove my mom crazy,i was abit taken aback when it was redone but i liked the yazzum as a character not him running up to the screen thought effects wise he looked out of place he looks slightly better in the dvd release. i also liked the female rodian as that was the first time i had seen one in the films,me and a friend convinved areselfs that the female alien on the end with orange hair was mara jade in disguise {when i was a kid i thought the first EU books were cannon and mara was suposed to be at jabbas palace.} it was so different from the original but still starwars i found it great that i knew ROTJ off by heart i could sit there and say all the words and knew exactly what was going to happen next and then this completly different scene with new characters came up it was unexpected and i didnt try and block it out and think of the original instead i just watched it and enjoyed it and now my own kids love it my 6 year old wont watch the originals {says there boring} shame really but if starwars is going to capture the minds of todays kids its got to move on with the times which is why i think lucas makes these changes we hate jar jar my kids love him -----signature----- "lie me never,the truth is far much more fun" captain hook

	Jabba the Hutt Dance party?... I would go to that. I don't actually remember anything about the original. Either I've seen it once ages ago or not at all, but coming from someone who's only got the SE to judge, I have to say it feels just a tiny bit out of place with the whole sudden breakout into song and dance. Doesn't ruin the movie by any means, and I can't help but let that song get in my head, but with the sudden change in mood from eerie to flamboyant, it kinda makes me step back a bit and go, "okay..." but otherwise I barely mind it. If nothing else, it's a damn catchy song and Max Rebo's awesome. I'm still pretty keen on this dance party.

	The original, hands down. I love that song. Jedi Rocks is unbearable. See for yourself. -----signature----- "I am a tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure" (Charles Chaplin)

	CIDLORD posted: The original, hands down. I love that song. Jedi Rocks is unbearable. See for yourself. The version on the right, from the original edition of the film, is more aesthetically appealing, more realistic and has more innate character than the flaccid, poorly-lit, awkwardly posed SE version on the left. -----signature----- "Chance makes playthings of us all." -- Seneca Shameless non-Manager Emeritus sock of Vortigern99.

	Great thread - the original "Lapti Nek" song and scene is the best. "Jedi Rocks" makes the scene look too much like "The Muppet Show", plus the song isn't as great. I also prefer the puppett Sy Snootles in the 1983 version to the less realistic-looking CGI Sy Snootles in the 1997 version. However, that being said, the 1997 ROTJ SE did have several things going for that I thought enhanced/improved the original version: - The extended Oola/Rancor scene - The initial Sail Barge/skiff scene looked a lot more realistic, and I liked the added touch of the Bantha pack in the desert - The ending scenes with the different planets, as well as the new music, which I though was a lot more poignant than the "Ewok Celebration" song.

	Doesn't really matter to me. Both versions are goofy. Though I like Lapti Nek better than Jedi Rocks. It just reminds me of the 80's, its funny. Jedi Rocks is just sorta awkward.

	My honest opinion is I feel embarassed if I'm watching ROTJ SE with someone I know and we get to this scene. It feels so cheesy. -----signature----- I work too hard for your bull, Chip. lol @ golden boy, Michael Phelps. ki ki ki ma ma ma

	Im going to have to come on here and say I love 'Jedi Rocks'! The scene in the movie is a bit overboard (although I only dislike the CG people, everyone else in costume rocks) The backing singers are cool. I like it when star wars has its universe fleshed out a bit more, whether that be with music styles or sports. Its why I like DS9 the best out of all the treks, made it an actual universe where people work and live, not just have adventures. The song itself I like (listen to it a lot) and if I could speak Huttese id sing along lol Plus the harmonica at the end (in the film at the beggining of the scene) is totally awesome. -----signature----- Aayla Secura ROCKS!!!
