Yes, but have you considered that the original song sounds dated? The horror!  That was the actual excuse they gave in the making-of materials for the 1997 special edition. They said it was too dated and had to be modernized, and the scene also wasn't polished enough in their opinion. They particularly disliked the original Sy Snootles puppet, which does look pretty janky but holds up a hell of a lot better than that 90s CGI monstrosity. Did they ever try to modernize that in the later releases?

The idea in the 90s that if you have a CG character, you have to shove its mouth right in the viewer's face, sure was something. Jedi Rocks does it twice.

Yub Nub or whatever it's actually called is a wonderful tune, and if they absolutely could not accept having an Ewok-sung celebration music all they had to do was fade it into a more symphonic instrumental version. I can never even remember how the new tune they replaced it with goes.

Lapti Nek shows that Jabba's having a party, with the implication that he's usually having a party. Jedi Rocks is a full musical number in the middle of an action/fantasy movie. Why???

Being one of Jabba's hangers on is probably a pretty sweet gig unless you get rancor'd, thinking about it. Just an endless party.

Jedi Rocks is a a throwback musical number much like the dance number in the beginning of Temple of Doom. I’m cool with it. The real question is “Jedi Rocks” the official in-universe name of that song, and if so, why would you sing it in front of your boss who hates Jedi?

Yub Nub was at least catchy and worked with the scene (as it was, I'll admit that it doesn't exactly gel with the SE's celebrations montage). The replacement New Age meditation music is just so forgettable and non-Williamsesque; it's not bad per se, just very average on its own merits and out of place in a Star Wars film besides that.

Completely the opposite imo, Yub Nub is embarrassing and I never liked it even before the SE. When I saw ROTJ SE in the theater I almost got chills up my spine, like this was how it should have been all along. I don't like some of the SE changes, but some of them really work and that's one of them. I will die on this hill.

Hey so I kind of fell down a Lapti Nek hole and it turns out that Joseph Williams (John Williams' son/Member of Toto/Co-Writer of Lapti Nek) released a separate single version of Lapti Nek in 1983 under the name "Urth". It was different to the other version of Lapti Nek that was on the soundtrack and it also includes parts of John Willams' score and the Ewok celebration music???? It didn't do so well in the charts Anyway it's weird so here it is Lapti Nek fans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjoGADCswnI Thank you

What we see in the sequels is an entirely new war, like how WWI and WWII are separate (if related) wars. I think they need to add a note about this in TFA's opening crawl or something

I didn't remember what Lapti Nek even sounded like because it's been so long since I've seen the non-Special Edition of Jedi, but after watching it on YouTube I agree that it is the superior song. At least it's way less obtrusive than Jedi Rocks. However, I like the scenes of Oola in the Rancor pit and the more explicit tease of the Rancor that comes at the end of Jedi Rocks. So it's a mixed bag. Also weird out of place CGI Sy Snootles is kind of ingrained in my childhood memory at this point.

Lapti Nek is a groove that vibes with the seedy atmosphere of Jabba's criminal underworld. Jedi Rocks is a corny showtune that makes the scene look like a theme park show hosted by cast members undergoing the dregs of a 6 month Disney College Program.

I never really think of Lapti Nek as a song in itself, it's more just what's playing in the scene while other things are happening. It's kinda understated, it's background music while the audience takes in the whole menagerie of Jabba's palace and the struggles of the green girl. Jedi Rocks is a song that stops everything so people can listen to it as opposed to paying attention to the rest of the movie, which would be fine if it was like a jukebox musical, but that's not the type of movie it is. And then they added a beak to the pit of teeth for some reason, but didn't figure edit out the scenes of people falling directly into the hole (which did have a weird scaling issue) so you're left having to assume that there's some kind of separate beak-less sarlacc hole somewhere around the perimeter. Why wasn't this enough?.
