Honestly, this was the first time I heard Boba Fett saying "What the--?!" as he gets hit by Han. I've seen this movie a billion times, and I've heard people reference it, but this was the first time I actually caught it.
Sarlacc lore is pretty crazy if you want to look it up sometime, Lots of videos on it. The beak is only a small part of this massive creature underground, and they are said to be force sensitive as well :o
@@alexlovelady8249 I know, but a f*cking sarlacc pit wielding a lightsaber and fighting people like 1/10 it's size brings up images weirder than the Skywalker Saga has shown. Besides the thought of Palpatine having a kid before they confirmed his kid was just a clone.
One thing you don't have from the original edition is the dialogue. When Han was shooting the Sarlacc off of Lando, instead of seeing "It's all right, I can see a lot better", he said, "It's all right...trust me" I always found that more poignant as Lando might just be wondering if Han is still holding a grudge from Bespin
Yeah, he said "it's all right - trust me" originally. I remember having the record album of this movie as a kid, and that's where I first heard the "it's all right I can see a lot better, don't move-" version. It was odd to hear that transferred to an edit of the movie.
@@The-Secret-Door The first makes a lot of sense and was kind of funny because you have to wonder if for a second Lando worried if he was still holding a grudge (they actually played on that on the Return of the Jedi radio show)
Just going with it and shooting blind is a much more "Han" thing to do. Just more evidence that George Lucas doesn't understand his own creation and has to keep messing with it.
I love the added CGI, most of it was great, but I have to say I prefer the Sarlacc's original layout with the gaping hole in the ground. I looked somehow creepier to me. I think they could have made it look even creepier without that beaked tongue. Anyone else agree?
that was the one thing that was most jarring at the time. Now I don't *hate* Spec Edition RotJ, but that's mostly because me and my mom went to see it in the theater, just the two of us, which was very rare, so the IRL memory is good. But the friggen Sarlacc beak haunted me.
TOTALLY. The creepy almost anal/vaginal motif had shades of Giger about it….it was just this mouth that remained open..still, unwavering. The beak totally ruined it. It looks terrible from a CGI perspective.
The beak makes sense IMO, it lowers the chance of a meal being able to escape, and when you are immobile and in the middle of a vast desert you need to make sure the rare meal doesn't get away.
Sarlacci evolved to inhabit swampy, marshy worlds. The presence of it in the desert is a fluke and a mystery of Star Wars lore, so it wouldn't have evolved features to keep sand out. Plus, it's uniquely slow metabolism and lack of independent mobility mean that it only needs the rare meal once every few years to survive. No right or wrong, as it's fiction and aesthetics are subjective, but I just think it looks more organic without the beak; like how I'd imagine it would look if it were real.
Spoilers for Book of Boba Fett: Book of Boba Fett cleverly used this moment to it's full potential. He goes in at one point and you go "wait, no beak? It's not canon anymore?!". Then boom, it emerges with a jumpscare. Lucas ideas are indeed scary sometimes. 😂
I mean, it popped up on screen and made a loud noise, thats not exactly a scarily designed monster so much as a regular jumpscare. A teddy bear coulda popped out of the mouth and I still would have jumped if it made the same loud noise and popped up really quickly
@@thepinkplushie True, but my point is when you don't see the beak you think they scrapped it, that the Sarlacc pit is back to it's 1983 design again. But no, 1997 beak pops out at you, haha. It's like YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE SPECIAL EDITIONS, WE ARE CANON right in your face, haha.
@@nathancruz9172 just a reminder. NOBODY is supposed to resell the despecialized editions in any shape or form. On a side note, downloading it and burning some discs does take a long time, so I do understand why someone might want to just buy someone else's blu ray copy
Theoretically he could have been just using the force. Realistically they were just lazy with the choreography and special effects. It was definitely meant to be just a straight up kick.
Can we acknowledge the friggin laugh the henchmen does when he pops his head out! 5:24 😭😅🤣 ivve laughed my ass off so many times listening to it for so many years!
People seem to like complaining about the beak; but consider that the beak still swallows Boba whole. It's not 'chomping down' it's ensuring smaller prey can't get away.
I love this Original Saga "movement", but analyzing this clip, i must say that the 2011 Blu-ray has a way better color correction in most of these shots. The Despecialized v2.5 edition has a yellow/green tint to it, which actually makes the 2011 Blu-ray look way better and more realistic.
from what I can gather, at least in the case of Episode IV, the Blu-ray one has a very magenta hue on nearly every shot. Despecialized aims to recreate the lighting as it would have been in theatres in the 70's, so while not neccesarily as pretty or realistic, it's more accurate. I see where you are coming from, and blu-ray has higher contrast in some parts, but I prefer de-specialized. It makes me happy to look at.
Definitely prefer the original over the 2011 rendition. I do not know how, but the CGI beak somehow made the Sarlacc pit seem less terrifying and more oddly adorable.
I call it baby bird syndrome As in, when a momma bird feeds in young you are aware what you're looking at is kinda gross, but baby birds are adorable so that's what registers in your brain. The special edition sarlacc looks kinda like a baby bird. Subconsiously I think its pretty cute, whereas nothing about the original is cute or even recognizable. I guess it kinda looks like one of those horrifying deep sea tube things, but thats not exactly making it less scary
HAN: Don't move, Lando! LANDO: No wait, I thought you were blind! HAN, It's alright, trust me! LANDO: Trust you?! I'm surprised you're trusting me after I betrayed you guys and got you frozen in carbonite! HAN: We'll talk about that off screen! Now don't move! LANDO: Okay, well make sure you don't shoot me instead of the tentacle as you're still blind! HAN: It's alright, I can see a lot better! Don't move! LANDO: A little higher! Just a little higher!
Andrew Chapman when he said “a little higher” I swear that the original showed Han pointing the gun straight at Landon’s face and it got a laugh in the theater.
@@davidwoodruff2890 I know its just a typo, but, Landon is my fav character ever. Landon Carazian for life. Sorry i just had to do it. And i know its calrissian.. Or something..
I am one of those who grew up with the beak version of the Sarlacc and I find the beak and additional tentacles more interesting and terrifying, like gives more life to the creature and gives it a more interesting anatomy on how it eats its prey, also shows how sentient it actually is and makes it seem like it knows it's about to be fed, compared to the old one where just had the pit with the few barely moving tentacles.
I grew up with it too and it never felt right. It already had teeth and what looks like a mouth hole. I was like "Why does it have a mouth in its mouth?" It does make it more enigmatic, but it doesn't mesh with the original design
1. those boots look pretty stiff.. its probably boot strength, rather than foot strength 2. Those ropes aren't holding a grown man up..... they're thing as twine.
I'm pro-beak myself. It makes Sarlacc feel more like a sentient creature than some kind of meat-eating plant. And maybe I'm just weird but I think I prefer the color tones of the blu-ray. They seem richer and more natural. The Harmy edition, while perhaps truer to the original, looks far too yellow.
agreed. i get why people don't like it, because change. but, no one complains when LotR re-releases the same movie 5 times within the span of what was it a year or two?
I prefer the “meat eating plant” look. It’s scarier, I’d describe it similar to what Quint from Jaws says about sharks. “Black eyes like dolls eyes, doesn’t even seem to be living”. It just adds to the horror.
Here's a fun fact, Marcia Lucas edited this whole scene and it took her two months to edit it together. She stated that out of all of Star Wars scene's she edited, this was bar none the hardest to edit.
He’s referring to the Shots of Luke, Lando, and R2 acknowledging each other, getting ready to do some crazy shit. Then it cuts to Han who has no idea wtf is going on and is looking around like: “ *hUh? WhAt? WrOnG tImEsTaMp?* ”
Its pretty funny how Boba Fett just jumps right in front of a Jedi with a weapon that can cut through almost anything, including his blaster. He was either high on spice, or just incredibly stupid.
Most people really seem to hate the beak of the sarlacc pit because it makes it less scarier but imo, it makes it look much more alive than just a pit with teeth
In the Legends Expanded Universe, at least, most if not all of the Max Rebo Band survived the Sail Barge, though the members all went their seperate ways. Droopy McCool wandered off into the desert, convinced that other Kitonaks were out there. Lyn Me the Twi'lek backup singer swore vengeance on the Heroes of Yavin for the apparent death of Boba Fett, Sy Snootles faded into obscurity as a solo singer, Bar'quin Dan stopped to raid some jewels from Jabba's townhouse in Mos Eisley and went back to Clak'dor, and Max himself entertained New Republic troops on several tours, before becoming the frontperson for a chain of restaurants.
Max Rebo: “Don’t worry. I pulled a Boba Fett and survived the destruction of Jabba’s sail barge. I’m thankful that Jedi Knight freed me and my band members from having to perform for Jabba for eternity and now the Max Rebo Band can start touring the galaxy again!”
Realistic in the sense that deserts really do look washed out in real life because the sand reflects so much sunlight. But that has downsides too, at times the grindhouse version kinda blends together. Dark scenes are sometimes very difficult to see. People are trying to objectively rank these but its purely preference. For me my favourite switches pratically scene to scene. Sometimes multiple times in the same scene.
That one dude who Luke just callously threw out of the Sail Barge and then seeing him screaming and reaching out as he’s being pulled into the Sarlaac is honestly sad and scary to me. That poor man has no idea what horror and pain he’s going to experience, and all he can do is try and reach out for anything to save him, despite it being pointless in the end. Am I just too sympathetic?
in-canon all of Jabba's goons are criminals of the lowest shit, but yeah, still creepy shit. In the og sarlacc version you could even believe he was being slowly chewed from the feet up with the way he was screaming.
I know ima bout to get a lot of hate for this, but I personally prefer the blue ray sarlacc over the original. Listen, I watched return of the Jedi of the blue ray and grew up with it, also now it actually looks like a living being
I have to admit that the best color restoration is the '11 Blu-ray but that was worked on by dozens of people. I hope one day the original version can have the same treatment as this 4th official version of Jedi has had.
han solo: boba fett boba fett WHERE? {hits jetpack} WHAT THE boba fett: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH {got hit in the ship and slide down in to the sarlaac pit} 3:47
Incredible scene, always loved it. Perhaps my favorite part is the very end…when the Falcon and x-wing are seen leaving. I loved that the Falcon is almost introduced, like this, to the third act as if it’s its own character.
Oddly enough, in this instance, I actually prefer the 2011 Bluray lighting and coloring over Harmy's. The New Hope Bluray has an AWFUL magenta tone to the entire film, but they seem to have done much better with the Jedi Bluray.
I find it hilarious that I’m still watching the upper left with the 2006 dvd version playing, it’s the one I grew up watching and even though it’s inferior in every picture quality wise, but I think it certainly makes them feel proper to me. It’s just the nostalgia, but I found it funny.
I heard that the main (original) reason they made Luke’s lightsaber green instead of blue was because of lighting issues for this particular scene. Also, notice how similar the handle is to Obi-Wan’s. 2:50
Harmy's Despecialized Edition looks like a better modern take. But the Grindhouse is still a more authentic look reflecting it's time. It's aged but in a good analogue kind of way.
Some Sarlacc's have beaks, others do not. The beak is actually the Sarlacc's tongue while the tongue is just another stubby tentacle that helps swallow victims.
I can't be the only one who doesn't give a flying fuck if they made it less scary or believable. This is a universe where it's acceptable to have space bats living inside a space worm that gets nutrients from presumably eating spaceships. We have far bigger problems. Course I'm not as nostalgic about it since the first version I watched probably did have the beak. To me, that's just how it looks. The use of canned sound effects especially ones for the sake of comedy such as when the sarlac burps piss me off way more than just making up a weird/unbelievable monster in general. And that big-mouthed singing thing? That change was the worst of all of them.
Harmy has the best overall picture quality. But, the GOUT has the best colors. A more natural, slightly muted tone. The way they all originally looked.
Adding some contrast to the 35mm grindhouse version and I feel it would deliver the content with the most natural colors. In particular the final explosion has gorgous colors.
Sometimes I overthink the sound of Fett’s jetpack, Luke’s slicing of his rifle, the music building up, Lando using his helmet as a weapon… so much going on, orchestrated prison break anarchy.
I feel more bad for that one dude who Luke threw out of the Barge before seeing him reaching out for help and screaming as he’s being pulled into the pit. Seeing that guy reaching out desperately for something to save him and knowing nothing will save him and knowing the horror that’s going to come is just haunting to me, I really need to stop thinking about this so much.
Fennec Shand said Bib had no right to take Jabbas thrown. Seeing as he had been Jabbas butler since Phantom Menace and probably long before that I have to beg the differ.
Tbh... I like the way they used the beak in Book of Boba more. Considering how the CG here has aged.. I just think the version without the beak (retroactively we know it's retracted inside the body) is way better
Wow I've been a fan of Star Wars for maybe 15 years, yet this is my first time learning that the beak was not originally there. To be honest, the beak's design looks weird so I thought it was because of the less than perfect VFX of 1983. Also, seeing the sarlacc with a beak for so long, I think the gaping hole version looks lackluster and a bit weird ; it doesn't really look like a creature.
I agree with you. I never knew the beak wasn't originally there. I see why people like it without the beak though. Also the jumpscare in Book of Boba was well done. I thought that thing was already dead.

People are trying to objectively rank these but its purely preference. For me my favourite switches pratically scene to scene. Sometimes multiple times in the same scene.
4:00 i love those little gags in these movies.
that cute scream ^_^ 6:22
To those who are fans of the unedited versions, I totally agree that it was better when it was untouched.
no it wasnt
@@xenome3883
It was. End of story.
@@SmashupMashups It’s just his opinion.
@@SmashupMashups Yeah, I have to prefer the beaked version but that doesn't make my opinion wrong nor does it make your opinion wrong.
@@lukebottetonic2526
That's because you haven't been inteoduced to the original theatrical version.
The Sarlacc looks much better in the original cut. The beak and tentacles make it look less scarier and more distracting.
Jeffrey Krieger so it just being a giant pit in the ground is scarier than it obviously being someone that’s going to eat you?
it makes it look more intimidating because it is more mysterious. i did not realize that in the original it had tentacles, but they were hidden.
Jeffrey Krieger In the original you cannot even see it. Kind of like with the wampa scene in Empire
And like the Wampa scene in Empire, while the change might have some cons, it has its pros too.
Jeffrey Krieger Also, *"looks* better" cant even see it
That one dude who Luke just callously threw out of the Sail Barge and then seeing him screaming and reaching out as he’s being pulled into the Sarlaac is honestly sad and scary to me. That poor man has no idea what horror and pain he’s going to experience, and all he can do is try and reach out for anything to save him, despite it being pointless in the end. Am I just too sympathetic?
in-canon all of Jabba's goons are criminals of the lowest shit, but yeah, still creepy shit.
In the og sarlacc version you could even believe he was being slowly chewed from the feet up with the way he was screaming.
He pulled a gun at Luke, you think he'd let him shoot first?
Audrey II's singing pit is one of my favorite.
I know ima bout to get a lot of hate for this, but I personally prefer the blue ray sarlacc over the original. Listen, I watched return of the Jedi of the blue ray and grew up with it, also now it actually looks like a living being
True.
Apparently the beak goes hiding sometimes as we saw in the book of boba fett. Maybe it I hope it calms some people down.
I thought that was what the sarlacc always looked like, i never saw the original when i was younger
@r33mote You boomer.
@r33mote yeah and?
@r33mote I am a conservative zoomer and hate that non-binary shit, get lost boomer i think they released a new "i hate my wife" joke
The weird laugh Jabba's goon make's at @5:25 lol, also the snarl from the Gamorrean Guard at @5:15. There is so much detail in just one scene.
Hans opinion of the special edition visuals: my eyes are getting better. Instead of seeing a dark blur I see a light blur.
He attacc,
he protecc,
but most importantly,
he is snacc for sarlacc.
There is a surprising variance in colour richness and shadow detail in all of these.
Luke: I used to live you know
Han: you're going to die here you know, convenient
seeing the beak on the sarlacc was having me expect it to say some goofy shit like "feed me seymour!"
I have to admit that the best color restoration is the '11 Blu-ray but that was worked on by dozens of people. I hope one day the original version can have the same treatment as this 4th official version of Jedi has had.
I just love the theme song playing in the background at @6:58 onwards.
Same
Come on, Han. Chewy already told you Luke is a Jedi Knight. Have a little faith; it'll do ya good
The blue dude on the keyboard is busting some bussin’ beats
I actually prefer the one with the beak it makes it more alive
han solo: boba fett boba fett WHERE? {hits jetpack} WHAT THE boba fett: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH {got hit in the ship and slide down in to the sarlaac pit} 3:47
emily Sy oh really
Its so scary that without the beak with the hole it looks like not alive😭😭😭😭😭
Incredible scene, always loved it. Perhaps my favorite part is the very end…when the Falcon and x-wing are seen leaving. I loved that the Falcon is almost introduced, like this, to the third act as if it’s its own character.
Oddly enough, in this instance, I actually prefer the 2011 Bluray lighting and coloring over Harmy's. The New Hope Bluray has an AWFUL magenta tone to the entire film, but they seem to have done much better with the Jedi Bluray.
I can't watch this scene without thinking of the Family Guy parody of it lmao
I find it hilarious that I’m still watching the upper left with the 2006 dvd version playing, it’s the one I grew up watching and even though it’s inferior in every picture quality wise, but I think it certainly makes them feel proper to me. It’s just the nostalgia, but I found it funny.
Blu Ray looks the best, very sharp and and good colors.
I heard that the main (original) reason they made Luke’s lightsaber green instead of blue was because of lighting issues for this particular scene. Also, notice how similar the handle is to Obi-Wan’s. 2:50
The Despecialized Edition is AWESOME
Holy heck. The goosebumps and tears in my eyes I get from this scene is insane!
Harmy's Despecialized Edition looks like a better modern take. But the Grindhouse is still a more authentic look reflecting it's time. It's aged but in a good analogue kind of way.
I could watch all the movies like this.
Something they did a good job on.
After seeing Book of Boba, the Sarlacc scene is WAYYY darker.
I guess the sarlacc pit got a sex change.
Some Sarlacc's have beaks, others do not. The beak is actually the Sarlacc's tongue while the tongue is just another stubby tentacle that helps swallow victims.
Uhm... Tentacle hentai...
Is no one gonna talk about how the guards made Luke walk the plank like a pirate?
I remember this scene! It was so plot twisty and epic when I first see it! I was shocked! Glad that I found it again!
I can't be the only one who doesn't give a flying fuck if they made it less scary or believable. This is a universe where it's acceptable to have space bats living inside a space worm that gets nutrients from presumably eating spaceships. We have far bigger problems. Course I'm not as nostalgic about it since the first version I watched probably did have the beak. To me, that's just how it looks. The use of canned sound effects especially ones for the sake of comedy such as when the sarlac burps piss me off way more than just making up a weird/unbelievable monster in general. And that big-mouthed singing thing? That change was the worst of all of them.
I love when R2 shocks Salacious Crumb and he goes eh EH! Pooga laga la!
The shot at 0:48 is horizontally inverted and all of these rehashed versions have failed to correct it
Harmy has the best overall picture quality. But, the GOUT has the best colors. A more natural, slightly muted tone. The way they all originally looked.
R.I.P Carrie Fisher By The Force Be With You
5:55 for some reason I’ve always found this hilarious as a kid
My dad told me everyone was shocked to see Luke's green lightsaber for the first time.
Lol Billy D's scream always makes me laugh
in the 2011 edition did they remove jabbas subs? Because I'm pretty sure he has subs in old editions...
Adding some contrast to the 35mm grindhouse version and I feel it would deliver the content with the most natural colors. In particular the final explosion has gorgous colors.
Sometimes I overthink the sound of Fett’s jetpack, Luke’s slicing of his rifle, the music building up, Lando using his helmet as a weapon… so much going on, orchestrated prison break anarchy.
ICONIC
The Unaltered version has the Wilhelm Scream.
Nothing beats the original
Very very true.
TRUE. Except Ian in the Empire Strikes Back 2004 DVD. Easiliy one of the very few good changes
I cant be the only one that feels bad for boba fett after he fell into that thing
I wonder how the second time was for him
He is alive
I feel more bad for that one dude who Luke threw out of the Barge before seeing him reaching out for help and screaming as he’s being pulled into the pit. Seeing that guy reaching out desperately for something to save him and knowing nothing will save him and knowing the horror that’s going to come is just haunting to me, I really need to stop thinking about this so much.
Either way, the Sarlacc is the freakiest creature in Star Wars
Fennec Shand said Bib had no right to take Jabbas thrown. Seeing as he had been Jabbas butler since Phantom Menace and probably long before that I have to beg the differ.
he might have been loyal but he surely doesn't know how to run a family
I didn't even know there was a version without the beak
The old Sarlacc
is so so much better
Mr. Mills So nothing but like two tentacles is better huh?
WTF is that thing they added in the 2011 version? You were supposed to slowly get stuck and digested for a 1000 and not just get eaten like that.
Digestion implies being stuck inside, not just the initial chomping.
Yeah, to me the new Sarlacc is one of the absolute worst changes made to the trilogy.
We Remotely Low I think the jedi rocks scene is the worst change
actually you make a good point. The chomp would probally kill you, or at least make you die in about an hour at most
@@jadsmvs8651 Exactly my point.
Tbh... I like the way they used the beak in Book of Boba more. Considering how the CG here has aged.. I just think the version without the beak (retroactively we know it's retracted inside the body) is way better
Carrie Fischer looked good 👍
and thats how Boba Fett (dies, but will reawaken in his own show!)
Han Solo technically helped create The Book of Boba Fett.
Say what you want about the beak, but the jumpscare in Book of Boba was good.
Wow I've been a fan of Star Wars for maybe 15 years, yet this is my first time learning that the beak was not originally there. To be honest, the beak's design looks weird so I thought it was because of the less than perfect VFX of 1983. Also, seeing the sarlacc with a beak for so long, I think the gaping hole version looks lackluster and a bit weird ; it doesn't really look like a creature.
That was the reason GL added the beak..to make it look more like a creature and more alive...
I agree
It is a worm-like creature. Worms don't have beaks or anything else that would really resemble a mouth.
I agree with you.
I never knew the beak wasn't originally there. I see why people like it without the beak though.
Also the jumpscare in Book of Boba was well done. I thought that thing was already dead.
4:02 why does jabba sound so cute here...
Nice side by side, but it'd be nice to see each version by itself back to back without the blackouts as well
Pause at 2:20 and take a look! :P
