Jabba The Portly Irish Gent

Posted by Andrew Osborne

If you've ever read any of my posts on the Screengrab before, you may recall that I am a tremendous dork.

As such, I tend to get inordinately excited when I stumble across Star Wars-related ephemera on YouTube that most fans have probably known about for years.

Back in April, for instance, I discovered, much to my amazement, that George Lucas had actually filmed all those scenes I'd only ever heard about in the Star Wars novelization (and Marvel Comics adaptation) where Luke Skywalker hangs out with Biggs Darklighter and his other no-account pals in Anchorhead on Tatooine.

And now what to my wondering eyes should appear but the original footage of Han Solo confronting Jabba the Hut in the Millenium Falcon's Mos Eisley docking bay, way back when Jabba was played by big-boned Irish actor Declan Mulholland rather than the CGI slug that replaced him in the 1997 Special "Greedo Shoots First" Edition of the movie.

If the preceding paragraph is old news or complete gibberish to you, then by all means just scroll on by to one of the Screengrab's other fine blog offerings...but for any fellow geeks who've never had the pleasure of seeing Harrison Ford menaced by a furry Weeble, enjoy!
