9 Canon Changes That Would Make Star Wars Instantly Better

4. Get Rid Of Jedi Rocks

There's nothing wrong with a little silliness in the galaxy far, far away.

However, you can have too much of a good/dumb thing, and that very much became clear back when George Lucas decided to swap out a certain Jabba the Hutt's palace tune for... whatever the hell Jedi Rocks was.

On top of the in your face song itself being all kinds of bad, the dodgy CGI used to bring to life Joh Yowza's silly howls and Sy Snootles attempts to entertain the mighty space slug, quickly cemented this alteration as one of the worst in Star Wars history.

But the way to salvage this excruciating moment of jizz - the style of Star Wars music on show, you dirty souls - is simple: just bring back the Lapti Nek banger that was present in the scene before that unwanted 1997 Jedi Rocks debut.

Seeing a slightly clunky animatronic version of Snootles warble her way through this funky tune is a surreal blast and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in the way her CGI counterpart eventually did when placed in front of the rest of the non-digital Max Rebo Band.

This moment of musical fun wasn't broken, folks. So, in this alternate canon, Lucas' CGI meddling wouldn't have affected this particular piece of jizz.
