20 years ago, during production of the original Star Wars, George Lucas filmed a scene where Han Solo encounters Jabba the Hutt in the Millennium Falcon's docking bay just after Han shot Greedo.

An actor, Declan Mulholland, stood in for the Jabba creature. George intended to replace the actor optically with a puppet or stop-motion creature, but he ran out of time and money and dropped the shot altogether.

To make the new shot the original interpositive footage of the scene was scanned. The old Jabba actor was removed and replaced with the addition of a new CG Jabba moving and interacting with Han Solo.

In the new scene the Hutt crime lord and his Rodian and human henchmen stake out positions under the Millennium Falcon in docking bay 94 on Mos Eisley in this scene from the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition.

George Lucas decided it would be fun to have a live-action Boba Fett make an appearance, too. In addition to the digitally-created Jabba, everybody's favorite bounty hunter makes a special, if brief, "guest appearance" in the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition as a bodyguard for the Hutt crime lord.
