HAH! I remember those, my brother had the whole series in two giant-format books, they were great!

I keep telling people about the slim, humanoid Jabba, but hardly anyone believes me. Nice to see I wasn't imagining the whole thing. If I remember right, someone told me that when they made the comic Lucas hadn't finalized the design for Jabba, so the one that shows up here was just a placeholder of sorts. But that might not be right, it'd be nice if someone could confirm that somehow.

The original Jabba wasn't the giant slug; that was a retcon after ROTJ. When Lucas digitally re-did ANH, he inserted the new design. (I can't remember if they showed the original Jabba, but I do remember them showing how they gave the new Jabba a reaction after Han walks past him--right over where his tail had to be. )

Yeah, the original Jabba shots was a guy in this wierd robe looking getup. can probably find it on YouTube somewhere, or maybe on the DVD in some behind the scenes sections.
