Jabba the Scott

From Blue Milk Special

"Back in ‘76 the original Jabba the Hutt was to appear in a scene right before Han transports Luke, Obi-Wan and the droids off Tatooine. Jabba was always meant to be a monster of some kind, and at the time the special effects just weren’t living up to Lucas’ filthy imagination. Northern Irish actor Declan Mulholland played the role of Jabba as either a stand in for a stop-motion creation to be added in post production, or to wear a mask over his head. Neither ended up happening, and Lucas scrapped the scene."

I didn't know this until I read it on their site so I thought I would share. :)
