	NeoBaggins posted: He steps on Jabba's tale for the same reason other "alterations" are questioned; Lucas choosing gags over consistancy. No, he steps on his tail because Ford was walking behind the fat Irish bloke who played Jabba the Furry Human in 76 and Jabba the Hutt's tail got in the way in 96. You're right if you apply it to Jabba's specific reaction (especially the SE one), though. -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

	and Han also gets away because this scene is a part of Lucas' vision to fill the Star Wars Saga with much more slapstick comedy. -----signature----- I love Ellen Page: 5' 1" / 1.55 m tall and very very sexy.

	I think the real question is why this entire scene was put back to begin with. We know that Han is in trouble with someone called Jabba, isn't that enough for now? I liked Jabba being concealed until ROTJ. This new scene gives away Jabba's appearance and allows the Falcon to be seen earlier too, ruining Luke's reaction to it. Bad idea to put this back. -----signature----- "I can't abide those Jawas... disgusting creatures"! - C3PO This sig line is [FABULOUSO!] www.outerrimsieges.com "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -- Carl Sagan

I have to say I agree with you. Jabba has never looked right, in my opinion, even in the DVD version,and surely Boba Fett has better things to do then just hang around Jabba when he's asking for money...? As seen in RotJ and TCW, Jabba gets abgry very easily, and personally would have had Han shot on sight, even if he was the best - as the RotJ novel says, the money wasn't really important, Jabba had more then he could count, I believe, so it was more of a image problem, you don't let smugglers dump your spice and not pay. -----signature----- Official Coolian & JC Musketeer Lando Calrissian for Galactic President/Gummy for President/Bow Before Darthelinth Propaganda Minister and LORD of the SWC Empire; Senator for Mustafar

	goraq posted: Did Jabba even felt Han steping on him? I mean he was soo big,and his skin doesent look too soft. He feels it. In the '97 version, he lets out a really awful squeal and his awful CGI model makes an awful facial expression. They toned it down in the DVD version, but it's still there. Also, I dislike this scene being put in the movie. Jabba should have been kept a mystery until ROTJ.

	Darth_Laudrup posted: and Han also gets away because this scene is a part of Lucas' vision to fill the Star Wars Saga with much more slapstick comedy. I actually like this scene alot. Feels like one left out due to time and money contraint. Completes Han more as a character. Lets the audience know that this man is in danger. It's as if Jabba is the numero uno drug dealer in the galaxy and Han is second in command. Brought Jabba alot of money in the past, so he's able to instigate a tad. This scene brings that "last straw" feeling to the film. The walking over the tail is great as well, as jabba is always on his, and he decides to walk all over jabba's. They just need to fix up the jabba a bit.

	Han gets away with it because when that scene was being put together Han ended up walking around the human actor portraying Jabba so they had him walk on the tail. It's a kid film so we don't need to have any realism. If it was The Godfather you wouldn't see someone stepping on Marlon Brando's foot but in this film it's okay because it's a kid film. I must say I totally agree with the in-universe answers posted up here. -----signature----- Member of the Han Solo and Chewbacca FanClub Member of the TFF Winner of the PT Rewrite Challenge Four "Don't make me destroy you"-Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back

	Kyle Katarn posted: Didn't Jabba say that Han was his "best"? Jabba probably realized that Han stepping on his tail came with employing him in the first place. When you have someone who is the best at smuggling, you're able to overlook a bit of disrespect from them as long as they get the job done. Exactamundo. To get the cabbage he wanted from Han, Jabba let it slide that Han stepped on his tail, and he was too busy thinking about what he was talking to Han about than getting mad at him for stepping on it. Apparently Hutt tails are tough and it didn't hurt Jabba. What, with their tails dragging on the ground all day, and all, they would toughen up. Luckily for Han, Jabba's not a giant iguana, otherwise he would've taken Han off his feet with one swipe of his tail. See ?

Problem with this is we know who Jabba is if we watch it Espisodes I-VI anyway. There's no mystery as to whom Jabba the Hutt is, all this talk of 'mystery' is rubbish since Jabba's in TPM, and as the movies show, the GFFA is a VERY small place, or if you wanna apply The Will of the Force mantle to it, there's that too. But, if one looks at it objectively..wouldn't it be kinda strange that Leia kills one of Anakin's masters? (Remember, Watto won Anakin and Shmi from Gardulla the Hutt..Jabba's either sister or wife..presumably wife, which either way means Jabba had say in what Anakin did til Watto got ahold of them) Small galaxy indeed. There is no mystery as to who Jabba is. -----signature----- "Take a seat young Skywalker!" "Maybe I'll take yours, Vapaad this you...."

There is no mystery as to who Jabba is. I don't think it would be wife, since Hutts are Hemaprhodites. In one book she is classified as business associate and sometimes rival. Maybe Jabba just kept his revenge for the tail incident until he got his money (in TCW, Jabba gets his son and still wants to kill the Jedi)... -----signature----- Official Coolian & JC Musketeer Lando Calrissian for Galactic President/Gummy for President/Bow Before Darthelinth Propaganda Minister and LORD of the SWC Empire; Senator for Mustafar
