The Imperial-I class Star Destroyer is an impressive warship of the Empire, but this costume will put your pet in a class all its own.

[62] TheWrap 's Phil Owen said that the CGI Jabba looked "incredibly horrible". [63] Matt Goldberg of Collider also said, "The CGI Jabba the Hutt looked awful." [64] The Denver Post applauded the special effects team on Return of the Jedi for making Jabba look like a "horrid creature". [65] Mass media [ edit ]Reynolds, David West.
