“Wait till you see how he originally looked in the first movie. Just google ‘Jabba the Hutt original movie version,'" advised OtherwiseAct8126. “Seriously, Google it, I just did and it blew my mind.”
“Interestingly, if you listen closely inA New Hope(special edition), both the original release and Blu-ray re-release, just before Han boards the Falcon at Mos Eisley, the original line ‘Jabba, you’re a wonderful human being’ can still be heard,” explained AstroBob1922.
