I just found out about this, as George Lucas originally filmed Star Wars, and as it originally appeared in theaters, Jabba the Hut was a human character, and he had a Scottish accent. Here is the original scene (reconstructed from fragments) where Han Solo meets Jabba:

I thought that Lucas had always intended Jabba to be a weird alien, but had a human stand in for filming. That's why the human Jabba scene wasn't in the original showings of ANH.
ETA: The original scene with Jabba as a human was filmed for A New Hope, but George originally never intended Jabba to be a Human.
He explained the reasoning for the cut on the Behind the Magic CD-ROM. From an article about it: "When I first shot the scene with Jabba the Hutt, I knew I was going to create some kind of stop-motion creature...I had to have somebody--an actor--play the part so Harrison had someone to play against, so we just picked a big guy and put him in a fuzzy vest. I, at that point, felt that he may be a character somewhat like Chewbacca, a big furry character. We shot that. As we were cutting the movie, [we] realized relatively quickly that we didn't have the time or the money to actually shoot that scene [the stop-motion optical]. That ILM was pressed way beyond what it could pull off as it was. So I had to abandon that sequence pretty early on. I had to cut back on special effects shots and that sort of thing because ILM just couldn't handle it." |

Trying to find a non fucked with, by Lucas, is hard to find. You probably watch it and didn't know it was fucked with. I tried watching Episode IV about a month ago, couldn't do it, not after watching the prequels. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm 32, I never saw the special editions. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Are you guys hypermillennials? Don't you remember the Special Editions? I'm 32, I never saw the special editions. So you were about 13 when they came out in '97. I'm guessing you have. After 1997, only the "Special Editions" of the Star Wars Trilogy (with subsequent changes) were released on VHS, DVD & Blu-ray. They just eventually dropped the "Special Editions" subtitle. The one exception was the 2006 DVD release, which included the original, unaltered films as "bonus discs"; they were basically just copies of the 1993 Laserdics, which did not feature any of the "Special Edition" changes. My nerd work is done here. |

Imma blow your minds: there was a whole Biggs subplot that got cut from the original Star Wars movie too. All that remains is a couple mentions in more crucial scenes, and they show him in the Death Star attack.
I had a kids SW storybook when the movie came out and they showed stills from the movie, one of them has Biggs in there talking to Luke on Tatooine. |
