This scene should be cut whatever form it's in. It dissipates the tension to have Han talk his way out of it. It adds to his character if the whole time he made the decision to turn around and help the rebellion, he was on the run from bounty hunters. Having Jabba be reasonable takes away the anxiety Han must be feeling, that the whole time he's away with the rebels Jabba's sending goons to look for him.

And it leaves the audience wondering what Jabba looks like, so when he finally appears in ROTJ, it’s a more satisfying payoff.

What’s most impressive is that despite the fact he knew he was recording place-keeping dialogue, Declan still gives a strong & charismatic performance

Yknow even though he says the same thing in Huttese, the way this Jabba talks makes him sound like a pretty good boss.

"Jabba, you're a wonderful human being" He actually meant it all along.

Okay wtf this should have been the jabba they kept in the final version of the movies. This is FUCKING AWESOME

I know apparently this scene was cut but I swear to God I saw this version of Jabba back in '77 in the cinema

He didn’t squeal as hard when Han stepped on his tail here...

I’d have a beer with this Jabba, cool guy

The only problem is that all versions of this scene are kind of redundant when Han basically said the exact same things to Greedo a minute before, still, nice to see irish human jabba

some kids wrongfully believe that this was in the unaltered version, but it was never in the movie in 1977

Love that guys accent - and love he goes 100% with this performance

jabba is irish and that's canon.

Me personally; I'm still glad this scene makes it into the movie with a CG Jabba, because it shows the kind of relationship Han has with him. Though, I do like how the scene was recycled with the Star Wars Radio Drama, with the guy in the coat NOT being Jabba, but instead playing one of his enforcers. And I like how the scene ends with the guy warning Han that Jabba is threatening to send Boba Fett after him - alluding to not only Boba's reputation, but also a personal history between the two.

There were bootleg copies of Star Wars during its VERY long run in New England. In Maine at a matinee in 1979 in August I watched it for my 6th time then and this scene was in it, along with Biggs and Luke at Tashi Station and I made mental note of it as well as the funny whistling nonchalant Chewbacca captured on the Death Star scene when the group was getting to the elevator to the Detention Center. Some 35mm copies of this still exist in basements and are traded. Years later, I was surprised no one else noticed it was missing when the VHS copy came out. Some prints were made with additional edits. They EXIST!

Not really. It's not going to appease the millions of people who just want the original release version they first saw. This is a deleted scene.

...I saw this original footage in 1983 as part of a documentary released coinciding with the release of RETURN OF THE JEDI. At that time it had been cut from A NEW HOPE and wasn't re-included until the altered versions of the first three original films were released in the early 2000s. I was always struck at how good Declan Mulholland was. He was humorous but distinctly menacing at the same time. The version of Jabba who replaced him, based on the 1983 Jabba, never convinced me. He was so obviously an oversized muppet he couldn't convince in the same way Frank Oz's Yoda did. I felt George Lucas diminished the re-release by putting in the altered Jabba over Declan and also including Boba Fett, an obvious sop to overenthusiastic fans. Boba Fett would have too much professional pride to just do cheap enforcement work for Jabba. He'd act as a bodyguard like in JEDI yes, but not with a squad of 'twerps' as Han calls them...

I love Jabba, the one we all know...but this is seriously awesome and I think I like it a lot better.

It makes no sense!Making such a costume for any actor, particularly one as vast as Mr Mulholland (no offence) can't be cheap, so why do it?

+NobodyBasically Only because Jabba ended up being a slug. At the time, there was no design for him yet. Presumably, you'd make a creature who looked humanoid. Although every point where Han intersects with Jabba would've looked like ass - ie the original non-restored Rancor scene.

+Bryce A The problem is, they already had that contingency plan, with the Greedo scene, where they expose you the exact same information you get from this scene.

+Dax A. That wasn't a costume, that's actually how people dressed back in the 1970's :D

Declan Mulholland (human Jabba) was also in Time Bandits, I believe, among the Sherwood Forest folks.

The special edition should've kept it in. Just erase all the times Han calls him Jabba and have him be a guy working for Jabba. That way it can be a mystery for anyone who hasn't seen ROTJ yet.

This video just confirmed what I've always thought, human Jabba has an Irish accent.

The actor playing human Jabba was actually Scottish.

Original Jabba reminds me of Harry Mudd from Star Trek.

And, ironically, this is STILL better than the scene with CGI Jabba put into it!

Wow, that has been pieced together from so many sources. Well done!

Great job joining such different sources, pal

jorgemariozuleta That's alright.

I've always wanted to see this scene with the human actor. I'm also glad George Lucas had the forethought to go ahead and film this back then so it could become part of the movie now.

George Lucas intended to insert a stop motion creature over the actor but ultimately scrapped the scene due to time and money. As a result he reshot the Greedo scene with the dialogue reworked to including some of the bits from this scene, hence why both scenes have some of the same lines. Then in 1997 the scene was readded with a CGI Jabba which was further updated for the 2004 DVD. However aside from Greedo shooting first the Greedo scene was not altered to accommodate the reinsertion of this scene.

"George Lucas intended to insert a stop motion creature over the actor but ultimately scrapped the scene due to time and money." Nope, all evidence actually points out that the whole "we always meant to replace it with an alien" thing is just George Lucas bullshitting as usual. Otherwise, if this really was true, they would never have costumed an actor who's is supposed to be replaced completely by a visual effect anyway, cause this makes zero sense.

I always found the line”jabba you are a wonderful human being” strange until right now

you're a wonderful human being?

Amer Aljabr I always thought Han was just being a smart ass

Wow hes a good damn actor.

It’s an interesting thought if Lucas decided to keep Jabba as human, and the Hutts be more of a title than an actual species

What would Rotta and Ziro have looked like? For those unaware, Rotta is Jabba’s son, and Ziro is Jabba’s uncle.

I knew I wasn’t crazy! I remember the first time I saw this movie, I rented a VHS from Roadrunner video. It was the original VHS release. Later, after watching the 1990’s VHS remaster, it’s a slug. And I was like... no way that was a slug the first time I watched this film. And now proof! Thank you for uploading.

Dang! Good job bringing all the footage together!

I think they should find some way to bring this human Jabba back as a crimelord or something. He’s really great.

This scene was in the original novelisation. Jabba was human back then.

I wish we could watch the original theatrical version of these movies. (it would be cool if some deleted scenes were added as well)

You are awesome. You found the original New Hope Film

I actually kind of think Jabba should have been a human like this, or at least more bipedal if not a human, it just makes more sense for a crime lord. The alien slug puppet could've been kept, could have just been Jabba's exotic pet or something.

Imagine how different Return of the Jedi would've been with a human Jabba

In Maine in the summer of 1978, this was shown at a local theater. This was shown as well as the college hangout scene where a girl (that looked like Catherine Zeta-Jones) grabs binoculars from Luke at the dogfight over Tatooine.

I remember my dad telling me about Jabba originally being human. It would have been kinda interesting to see Jabba as human. But I prefer the special edition scene.

In the original 1975 script of Star Wars (called "The Star Wars") there is no reference to the race of Jabba the Hutt (the lines spoken here are mostly from the 1976 shooting script). All the sources of Lucas claiming to superimpose an animatronic creature in place of the actor are later than the original's release date and 1978 being the earliest such source (a few interviews, a short reference in The Empire Strikes Back script and some concept art). Storyboards have recently surfaced showing the superimposed reptilian Jabba on top of the actor, but the source is not verified. For all we know Lucas cooked up the idea he always wanted a reptilian Jabba after the fact he already intended a human actor to play the role, as shown here.
