Jedi Rocks

Totally unnecessary music switch with distracting CGI silly characters completely out of tone with the rest of the scene.

Couldn’t agree more, this is probably what I’d put at the top of my list for worst scenes in all of Star Wars. I think the idea is fine, but the execution is absolutely fucking terrible.

I think this is the best answer here. The theatrical Palace scene had such a good tone, they totally ruined it when they added Jedi Rocks.

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, and there was no purpose to the scene. At least talking to Jabba in A New Hope added something, whether that was conducive to the story or not is debatable, but it at least had some purpose. Likewise, Lucas changing Han’s quick fire to a shootout does make him a little less scummy in A New Hope, even if most people feel the change was unnecessary.

But with Jedi Rocks, it’s replacing something that worked fine with something that doesn’t fit, with no clear reason why Lucas would want to change it other than for the sake of change itself.
