I'm watching the 1983 special "From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga" on VHS. They spend a lot of time talking about all the work that went into the "Lapti Nek" music number from the original "Return of the Jedi"; it's sad to think that it was all ripped out and replaced with an inferior CGI-fest in the "Special Edition."

  I hated both versions.

  It's not my favorite part of "Jedi", but I'm impressed by the puppetry and the creature design. The new CGI version just looks *BAD*, and unlike the original, the effects go out of their way to call attention to themselves (like that hideous singing CGI creature whose open mouth and dangling uvula is shoved right into the camera). The new music is lousy, too.

  Yep, I hate the newer stuff even more. We went from fake-looking puppets to even faker-looking computer generated garbage.
