The added animation backfired

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2005)

This was one of the best Sci-fi movies I've seen in my life. I would have rated it 9. But, I dropped it to 7 because in Jabba's palace the seen with the alien stage performers. When they added the extra animation/soundtrack to the movie, I think it ruined that scene. The new song is so irritating and the alien dancer/singer looks goofy. The little fur ball jumping around singing is plain stupid. In the original scene the song sounded cool and flowing, the alien characters are puppets, but are serious and cool looking. I went and bought the original Star Wars VI on VHS tape because that scene has been ruined. I think adding computer animation can be beneficial...or damaging as well.
