    This is just a question out of curiosity: what do you think Darth Vader, or the Emperor or Tyranus would have done if they were the one casted into Jabba's rancor cage instead of Luke Skywalker. Do you think they would have ran like Luke, or done something else?

    Maybe, just maybe, The Emperor could have seduced the Rancor and make it his ally. I think he's that good at seduction :D

    "The Emperor could have seduced the Rancor..."

    That conjures up some disturbing imagery.

    Lightning. It might be harder to choke te Rancor than just a normal person.

    it has to be hard using force on a large animal/beast(remember e2 with anakin and that thing in the arena?)

    in aotc, anakin had an entire arena (strangely looking like the Colliseum, but we all know that.) Luke had something the size of rhode island in retrospect to the arean being as big as alaska. Itty bitty killin' space. Plus, with a big puppet, its hard to do much with it.

    They could use the Force to rip the rancor's legs off.

    They could use the force to make the Rancor sing the little teacup song, or at least have it act out the dance. Then the keeper would be so humiliated he'd let him out just to make them stop

    Being the vindictive sons of bitches they are, they'd likely use the force to calm the Rancor and turn it to their side (Anakin vs. Arena creature).

    Then they set it loose on Jabba's court :D

    I just hope they fix the rancor scene when the OT comes out on DVD. This scene by far is the worst in the OT.

    I think the Copa Kabana would be more humilating. Nothing is worse than Barry Manilow.

    They would´ve used the Force to drag Jabba down with them [face_devil]

    I've never seen anything wrong with the rancor scene. Everything looks fine there.

    The matte lines in the Rancor scene are more frightening than the scene itself.

    I agree with k-man on this issue. Sadly.

    right. that's why they cleaned up most other shots for the SE in the 90s. Or at least I thought so

    oh well, i like it. maybe EP3 will feature better rancor action. that is a guess, i am not guarenteeing this will occur, i just think it would rule

    you know how they make those ewok cartoons? maybe they could do a rancor one.
