5. Jedi Rocks (Return of the Jedi)
Having a band in Jabbas royal court makes perfect sense, but its a concept that Lucas and co. have never been able to get quite right. John Williams was able to compose for Star Wars Cantina Band a tune that sounded jazzy but also a little bit out of this world; for Return of the Jedi, he made a rare misstep by penning Lapti Nek,
which screams 1980s in the worst way imaginable, and which is performed by not terribly convincing muppets. This is another area where Lucas clearly felt (not unjustifiably) that improvements could be made; unfortunately, what happened instead was that an already bad scene was made infinitely more terrible through the inclusion of a song entitled (seriously)
Jedi Rocks. Now, instead of Sy Snoodles being a frog like puppet that can't move its lips, we are given a CGI Sy Snoodles that threatens to swallow the camera, and a verse sung by furry termite Joh Yowza. Meanwhile, three Star Wars costume contestants get to be back-up singers, the Mummy plays drums, and the whole thing sounds like a rejected Blues Brothers number performed in Huttese. No.
God no.
