    It is the name of the musical number that takes place in Jabba's Palace during ROTJ.

    I assume it is the new song and dance in the SE, if that is the case - my opinion - it stinks, I miss the old Sy Snoodles.

    Lucas wasn't particularly involved with the Holiday Special.

    I just think Jedi Rocks is a good laugh.
    And we get a much better Sy Snootles in the bargain too, the old one looks terrible in comparison.

    Jedi Rocks is the worst thing in Star Wars ever, including the Holiday Special. If there were were a scene in Episode III revealing that the entire phenomenon of the force, in all of its forms and all of its glory, emanated from the undeniable greatness of Jar Jar Binks, it would only suck maybe 25-30% as much as Jedi Rocks does. So, to conclude, Jedi Rocks really, really sucks.

    I did not like "Jedi Rocks" at all.

    They say "chicken monkey head" in the lyrics. Am I the only one who hears that?

    I liked that scene. and i bet alot of people like it or at least it dont bother them, but they dont care to write about it. people tend to write about things they dislike more then on what they do like. so it seems as if everyone hates that scene, but i see nothing wrong with it.

    i dont mind Jedi Rocks.. but i like the other one better just because of sentimentality.. when i watch Star Wars its all about familiarity.. i know everything that's gonna happen right down to the tone of voice a character uses etc. .. so the Jedi Rocks song always seems out of sync to me because the other musical routine has been embedded (sp?) in my mind.. ok this was more long-winded then i planned so yeah, basically i like Jedi Rocks but i liked the other one better

    There's nothing wrong with Jedi Rocks, nor any of the other SE changes.

    I'd very much like to see this, as I've never watched any of the SE.

    Yes Jedi Rocks truly does burn an image into the back of a viewers mind, an image that will forever burn inside of them like a massive headache. ;)

    man there is nothing wrong with Jedi Rocks. I think it even adds to the movie. the only bad moves from the SE are greedo shooting first and luke yelling (like the emperor) when he falls.

    I'd say the jabba scene too, but only from the CG side. as a scene, the jabba scene is good, but the CG has to be improved. And remove han stepping on jabba. You wouldn't see some low level scum stepping al capones feet. Jabba is like the God Father of Tattoine

    I don't mind the "blues" part of Jedi Rocks, but the main part of the song sucks really hard.

    It was a true crime to remove the original song, "Lapti Nek", which I always loved.

    It's the only part of any Star Wars movie that I have ever fastforwarded through. The way they cut it amongst Oola's death is terrible.

    "Lucas wasn't particularly involved with the Holiday Special."

    Adam: Lucas says that now, he just wants to minimize his affiliation with the Holiday Special as much as possible. :p

    Jedi Rocks is totally out of tone with the rest of the scene. Its like they stuck a commercial break in the middle of the film. The music is no where near as good as the old song.

    Jedi Rocks obliterates a totally brilliant scene. It destroys the pace of the scene, the tone, it makes something that was serious into a farce.

    Oh yeah, and Lucas is mad.

    I don't mind the song it's the animation that ruins things. Why oh why do they have the Yuzzum (sp) come up and sing to the camera and why do we get that awful close up of Sy's lips. The camera isn't supposed to be in the scene for the charcters to interact with it's an observer.
