10 Worst CGI Effects In Sci-Fi Movies

10. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - Jabba The Hutt Makes A Jarring Appearance

Though George Lucas has received a lot of criticism for his questionable decision to go back and alter certain visuals in his classic Star Wars original trilogy, his tinkering did actually enhance some of the scenes set in a galaxy far, far away.

His decision to insert the prequel version of Emperor Palpatine into the hologram scene in The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and the improved lightsaber effects were both welcome updates.

However, reinstating a scene involving everyone's (least) favourite Hutt in the 1997 re-release of A New Hope (1977) proved exactly how distracting bad CGI can be on its day.

Here, the Jabba we remember in all his practical effects glory in Return of the Jedi (1983) is butchered completely and made to look like a ridiculous alien/Cheshire Cat hybrid.

That original version may have been an unquestionable eyesore, but at least the character looked more realistic in the later re-releases, right?

Not exactly.

When the films were tweaked again in 2004, it still felt like you were watching two separate movies going on at the same time and Han Solo walking over Jabba's tail only reminded us just how unnecessary it was to cram this scene back into an already cherished movie.
