I don't remember Jabba the Hut ever appaering as human.. When did
that happen?
I have a recollection of watching the original 1977 movie and seeing a man portraying Jabba in the hanger scene with Han Solo. The scene was definitely updated with CGI in the 1997 re-release which I watched in the cinema.
I had first seen the original movie long ago on TV when I was young, so it's been a while. I don't remember seeing that. Interesting.
I've also wondered if the 'humans' in Star Wars were really supposed
to be human. If it takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far away,
what are the chances they'd be human? But there's a scene in Empire
Star Wars wouldn't need to take place in a parallel universe (I've never actually thought of that). Star Wars takes place in a different galaxy, so
i dont care about special effects. woooo! exploding thing in space.

midi chlorians was a bad way to add a scientific approach to measuring the force. If it were up to me, I would've explained them as organisms that are attracted to use users rather than something that makes them. That ruined the concept that anyone can become a force user if they allowed it to flow through them by clearing their mind of other distractions.

But there's a scene in Empire Strikes Back wher C-3PO refers to Luke Skylwalker (I think) as a human.. I wondered what t story was about how humans came from that galaxy to our galaxy.

Earth, to my knowledge, is not a place that's noted in the galaxy maps in th Star Wars universe... I've always thought of it as an alternate universe or something rather than one parallel to ours.

When ANH was filmed, there is a scene that is filmed where Jabba is waiting o utside of Han's ship asking for his money. This was filmed wi a human actor playing Jabba as originally planned. This was cut from th original release, then put back in the digitally enhanced re-releases, except the CGI version of Jabba is overlayed on the actor. They also ha to edit when Ha n walks behind Jabba so it appears he steps on his tail rather than walk through the spot his tail should be.
Ah, I remember hearing about that, and I remember seeing that scene with the

The mistake is explaining it at all beyond what Yoda said in Empire.
I don't know why kids today are so hung up on everything being explained...
I forgot what it is called, but there is a phenomenon where people whave seen the outtake material at a leter time, but recall seeing it in the theatres.
Star Wars wouldn't need to take place in a parallel universe (I've never actually thought of that). Star Wars takes place in a different galaxy, so naturally, Earth wouldn't be on the galaxy maps. If they really are meant to be human, I was thinking that perhaps a group of humans in the Star Wars universe had possibly traveled to Earth and settled here.
Ah, I remember hearing about that, and I remember seeing that scene with the CGI Jabba when the edited versions were released. Somehow I thought someone was saying there was a released version that didn't have the CGI Jabba, showing Jabba as a human.
The Luke-Leia-Solo chemistry is just better than the ones the main characters in the prequel get (which is not saying much anyway).
Characters and character development just work better in the originals even if the plot is simplistic adventure IMO.
i think the deal is they had a human actor to play jabba but it was cut out. you may have seen another movie with this deleted scene removed.
or it's a mandella effect thing.
they cgi'd in a little jaba in the 90s which i found shitty.

I forgot what it is called, but there is a phenomenon where people whave seen the outtake material at a leter time, but recall seeing it in the theatres. Since it was cut and abandoned, there was no possible way for it to have been released. A similar experiment was conducted where a group of people sat
down as individuals and watched a staged even that was intended to look like security camera footage. There were several smaller story arcs going on with people in the parking lot, but the main event was an incident beween two drive rs fighting over a parking spot. The video is the constant or control, and the variable was ringer in the bunch that was seeding fake inofrmation or changing arounf vehicle colors or orders of the events. when interviewed alone, each person was asked what they saw, and some of them claimed they saw or noticed the smaller details the ringer introduced tot he story. When
given a chance to view the video again, they would claim the video was edited.

They almost retconned it in the Disney trilogy after speculation that Rey was a nobody with no special lineage. This was prior to Abrams deciding at the 11th hour that she'd be the grand-daughter of Emperor Palaptine.
Gina is back. Favreau has enough pull to bring her back.
I attribute the change in Boba's character to be the result of facing death, then being "reborn" as part of a tribal social unit. In the flashbacks as a child, he would see Jango flying off, then later on filling his shoes (and costume) living a life on anger and brutality to others. He realizes his life before was empty, and learned from the Sand people he could be happy in a society with mutual earned trust and respect.
i think lucas drove starwars into the ground.
Are you referring to the prequel trilogy? I thought it was better than
the OT in terms of writing. Lucas was good because he used the Star
Wars license sparingly compared to Disney who are just churning out
show after show to see what sticks. They've ultimately devalued the franchise.

Will believe it when I actually see it on screen. Sorry for delayed
reply, not on here nearly enough.
I think that Clone Wars adds a lot of context to the prequels that add
value to the series.. if you watch the first 6 in "machete" order, it
flows a lot better. 7-9, may as well skip, the story telling is just
bad... the visuals are cool, but it's just not Star Wars... Clone Wars
and Rebels were far better... Resistance I just didn't care for, and I
think they dropped the ball on The Bad Batch by infantalizing the kid
too much, she was formidable in the first episode, then they
figuratively neutered her. She should have just remained capable through
the series, possibly even becoming a team leader, still flawed and inexperienced (not like they did with wesley crusher in stng).

The last time I binged Star Wars, I watched the first three, the Clone Wars movie, and then the original three plus #7. Sort of like the first three are not on par with the original 3, #7 was not on par with any of the first 6 or Clone Wars.
It did not motivate me enough to watch 8 or 9, although I did watch Solo.
I still do want to see Rogue One.

Rogue One works well as a stand alone story in the SW universe as well as a pre-cursor to ANH
