10 More Worst CGI Moments In Star Wars
7. The Sarlacc Beak - Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi
Speaking of unwelcome digitally-created monstrosities, George Lucas' Special Edition tinkering led to an old favourite getting an unnecessary "upgrade".
After attempting to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt in Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker and pals found themselves on the verge of being fed to the almighty Sarlacc found within the Great Pit of Carkoon.
The sight of all those sharp, deadly teeth and tentacles was already enough to leave folks worried about the Jedi and his mates' chances of surviving the deep and dangerous pit of doom. But Lucas didn't think that was frightening enough, so he decided to add some additional CG terror.
Would he throw in even more jagged teeth, some claws, or possibly even a set of menacing eyes to further spook our heroes? Not quite.
Instead, Lucas gave his Sarlacc a silly-looking digital beak (which was actually its tongue) and some additional tentacles, transforming this somewhat hidden and disturbing monster into something that instantly felt less intimidating.
The CGI itself also doesn't quite mesh with the rest of the practical creation either, with the end results just largely distracting from the rest of the rousing sequence.
