I give the side-eye to people who call it "A New Hope" or "Episode IV."

Precisely. If Lucas didn't bother to retain that actor/character for ROTJ, then it never happened.

    I agree. That said, this fan did a 'fix' of the version with Jabba in a pretty ingenious way.

    Ok, now that's clever and reasonable. More evidence that Lucas has always needed outside voices and not just "yes men" to reign things in.

    I just read this on Wikipedia about CG Jabba (apparently) being upgraded for a 2004 DVD release from the 1997 "special" edition-

    ScreenCrush later reflected that the 2004 version "was an improvement, but only in the way that nausea is an improvement over vomit".

    I love it.
