"Lapti Nek" right?
"Lapti Nek" was replaced for the SE of Return Of The Jedi with
a tune called "Jedi Rocks" by Jerry Hey.
The lyrics to "Lapti Nek", in Huttese appear on the sleve of
the 45RPM collectors record "Lapti Nek" which contains 5:30 version
and a 7:00 instrumental. I'm pretty sure this single is hard
to come by nowdays, but if you want I can type out the lyrics
as I have this album.

assistant: <\/\/> Quoting John Snyder to Earl Laamanen <\/\/>
 I know what you mean, there's nothing to say Hutt isn't a race, and all
 the books support this idea.  I really don't remember what I thought
 Hutt meant when I first saw the movies, I guess I never really thought
 about it.  There isn't much to prove Hutt is a title, I just like the
 idea that it is a title for some reason.  It makes Jabba seem more
 important.  He's a big ugly mobster and he's given himself the title
 Hutt.  If I was playing the RPG of course, I wouldn't dispute the
 meaning of Hutt.  It just seems meaningless to call him Jabba
 the <Race>.

 I knew the falcon was a corellian freighter, I just mean that it is
 owned by a single person, rather than an army.  Like owning your own
 modified A-10 thunderbolt as opposed to working for the military and
 having one assigned to you, you can't do anything you want with the
 military's vehicles.  Vader is a bit of a special case.
 I was only referring to the movies, you don't see a Tie pilot kicking
 his ship to get it to start.  And there's a certain attachment that
 you see between Han and the Falcon that you don't see between Luke
 and his X-wing.

 candy.
 They came in baggies?  Mine were on cards, and had the pictures of all
 five on the back.  I though Chewie wasn't very well done.  Yoda is my
 favorite, although I didn't see Vader anywhere.  There were about 15
 of each, except Vader.  I think Yoda was done very well, so was
 3P0, but he didn't look as good, no paint at all.  They should have
 put lighter yellow in his eyes.

assistant: There have been some arguments in the past over what the offical name of that
world inhabited by Ewoks in Return of the Jedi was. Some say it was just
"Endor" while others say it was a "Forest Moon of a planet called Endor."
Well, the actual truth is that that forested world is "The Forest Moon of
Endor," and it orbits a giant silver gas-giant planet called "Endor." I got
this information from the Ralph McQuarrie Illustrated Star Wars Universe
ook.
It cost $50 Canadian, so it MUST be accurate. :)
Anyway, that's the end of that discussion. The big grey planet you see in the
"Forest Moon of Endor's" sky (that looks like our moon) is the actual planet
of Endor. The forested Ewok world is just one of the moons of the planet
Endor. It doesn't have a name all to itself, just like our moon (ours is just
"The Moon of Earth."
