In the original Return of the Jedi, the sarlacc is simply a barbed hole in the desert sand which characters fall into and are consumed; some are pulled into the sarlacc's mouth by its tentacles.
Dalam versi orisinal Return of the Jedi, sarlacc tersebut hanyalah suatu lobang berduri di padang pasir yang menjebak karakter-karakter untuk jatuh kedalamnya lalu memakannya; beberapa karakter ditarik kedalam mulut sarlacc tersebut memakai tentakel-tentakelnya.
