Also rhe original Jabba the Hut was a himan in a furry jacket, not a giant slug monster. Since Han walks around human Jabba in the scene on flat ground they added the stepping over slug Jabba's tail with CGI which is why the way Han walks in the clip looks janky as hell.
Didn't they update that scene twice? The first Special Edition release and then updated the Jabba CGI a second time for another release. (The Blu-ray's? I'm not sure)
It's all a bit moot anyway as everything in the "new" Jabba scene is almost a repeat of what was said in the Greedo encounter a few scenes earlier.
And they forced in Boba Fett which was cool at the time but just seems out of place now.
That scene was cut in the original film, Jab a officially didn't make an appearance until Return.
