	SE all the way, the original was way too static. -----signature----- "My ally is the force, and a powerful ally it is." -Master Yoda "You are reckless!" -Master Yoda "Master Qui-Gon, sir... what are pants?"

	I've never seen the original version, but I have heard Lapti Nek. Compared to Jedi Rocks, which I think is terrible, and the goofy dance number that went along with it, I would venture to guess that the original is better than the special edition in this regard. -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One (my fan fic) http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/30225011/p1/?3

	They're both pretty lame, but the original is shorter. And the original song sounds more like the alien version of a sleazy/cocaine-y Tony Montana party and less like the blues band at a rec center wedding.

	Pick your poison. Either one evokes tremendous embarrassment. "Derek, are you really a Star Wars fan?" "Uh...no! Trek! I'm a Star TREK fan! Yeah!" If you ask me, Lucas oughta throw both out, and put in that Dean Stockwell "Sandman" number from Blue Velvet.

I agree with all of about being embarrassed when watching the SE. The 83 version is weird yes, but it falls in line with the Cantina scene. Weird aliens do weird things (I guess... but come to think about it what is so weird about a gangster watching a half nude woman dancing?). Gangsters do not; however, enjoy cheesy dance renditions. -----signature----- The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.

	I like original "Lapti Nek" far more then the "Jedi Rocks" song they had in the SE one. "Jedi Rocks" sounds so cornball. -----signature----- I sense a disturbance in the Forums. As if a million spam threads cried out in terror, and were suddenly locked. Does action, figure?

	Lapti Nek is a really great song. It feels like an alien song. There's a little bit of sleaze in it, which matches perfectly to Jabba's Palace. Jedi Rocks is TERRIBLE song. Not matter what galaxy you're from. The sleaze has gone, it doesn't fit anything in the trilogy. It's absolutely embarrassing. I don't mind the CGI characters, but they should have just been put to the original song. I hope George Lucas can one day come to his senses and fix this atrocious scene.

	Original. The S.E scene is awful.Sy Snootles and the other singer (Yazzum ??) are bad looking CGI.

	Love the original. Hate the Special Edition version. I hate it like poison. A long computer generated muppet musical number in a Star Wars movie. That's a cute idea! Like poison in my eyes! -----signature----- "Head of State, a Sith is just a Jedi who's gone off his meds."-Natasi Daala

	Rubbery, cartoony CGI just doesn't look as real as the puppets they actually built the first time, and the showtune nature of the new scene just doesn't fit with the atmosphere originally established by Jabba's palace. It also intoruces a continuity error: the original Sy Snootles had tusks, which the animated version does not. -----signature----- "I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them." --George Lucas

	I prefer the original, but I don't hate the SE version either. One thing I have to say is any time they added special effects to the original stock (e.g. Jabba in ANH, the band in ROTJ) it just looks out of place and doesn't mesh well. I did enjoy the additions to Tatooine though in ANH. -----signature----- I'd like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Lucas for deciding to have sex that night.

	That's a change, not a continuity error. The original character no longer appears in the saga. Actually, she does. She appears in both the original and Special Edition. But now the CG version is intercut with shots of the original. Look close, it's there. -----signature----- "I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them." --George Lucas
