11 Hidden Star Wars Movie Details You Never Noticed
7. Jabba Plays Himself
If humor was the sole factor in deciding rankings, this would top the list so easily.
As many of you may know, Jabba the Hutt was portrayed in Return of the Jedi through the use of an incredibly well-made and heavily detailed puppet. David Alan Barclay, Toby Philpott, and Mike Edmonds, the puppeteers, took the credit for the role of Jabba.
With the introduction of CGI, this all changed with The Phantom Menace.
Jabba made a small cameo in the first of the trilogy movies and was entirely done with computers. Because of this, no puppeteer or actor was involved with the creation of Jabba. The Phantom Menace decided to get creative after the film had ended, and gave the credit for Jabba the Hutt to "himself".
Brilliant.
