The next couple of updates will be devoted to the new trailer. I will post some enhanced trailer pictures, like the one above, comment on some of the scenes, show comparisons with pictures I made for the Virtual Edition and hopefully give some inside information about what the trailer shows.

I'll start with the scene in which we see a 40 years younger Jabba the Hutt enter his box in the Mos espa Arena. This small fragment shows some interesting details.

• First of all, Jabba looks indeed younger than the Jabba from ANH SE. He appears to be a bit slimmer and he's a bit greener too. The expression on his face somehow reminds me a bit of Boris Yeltsin! :)
• On his right side, we see what looks like a much younger Bib Fortuna!
• Next to Bib Fortuna, we see a female dancer with blue hair. She might be of the same species as the red-haired dancer in the Special Edition of ROTJ. She wears the same slave outfit that Leia will wear more than 40 years later!
• On the ledge of Jabba's box, we see a few frogs hopping around. Since we know that these frogs are Jabba's favorite snack, I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see Jabba trying to catch one of these small creatures (there is supposed to be a hilarious scene involving Jabba and a small animal - one of George Lucas' favorite scenes in the movie).
• On the left and the right side of the box we see two armed guards, who's presence indicates that Jabba is not loved by every inhabitant of Mos Espa.. They look similar to Jabba's guards in ROTJ. I don't see any Gamoreans though.
• In the shadows behind Jabba, I can see at least three other persons; the one on the left is female.
• But most important of all: we catch a first glimpse of another Hutt, just visible for a few frames on Jabba's left side. I think that this might very well be the female Hutt I told you about more than a year ago! Could it be Gardulla, the previous owner of Shmi and Anakin? Take a look at these virtual versions of her, the first of which I posted as early as November 27 1997 (!), compared to an enlarged portion of the scene from the trailer:

Additional details!

Some of you wrote me with some very interesting observations about this scene:

Darth Gonyea wrote:

• The blue-haired girl can't be the same species as Rystal (the dancing girl from ROTJ SE) be cause she was the only known member of her species.
• There is an R5 unit to Jabba's far right (our left)
• The guard on our right is a Nikto, and the one on the left looks a bit like a Weequay.

I'd like to offer some minor comments and corrections about your Hutt update.

• I agree, Jabba looks younger and slimmer here than in ANH, and he moves much better as well. More realistically, I believe.
• It's just a Twi'lek. There's no real way to prove that he is in fact Bib Fortuna until we see the movie and/or read the novelization or receive word from a trusted spy, and I find it highly unlikely that he is Bib. Just refer to him as a Twi'lek. Much safer. :)
• When I first saw the slave girl with the blue hair I immediately formed the same conclusion as you did, that she was of the same species as Rhystall, that near-human dancer in RotJ:SE.
• They're not frogs, they look a lot more like the nunas of Naboo, but of course they're not. If you watch them closely, you'll see that as Jabba nears, the one closest to him hops away from him. That's already funny. :)
• I recognized the two guards as well (at least one of them was in the Vanity Fair photo spread too). That's something...
• In trailer A, I noted that a Hutt is visible in a box similar to, but not the same as, the one in which we see Jabba.

there isn't really such a thing as a female or male Hutt, per se. In the Han Solo Trilogy, by Ann C. Crispin, she explains that they are hermaphrodites, and that they are capable of self-fertilization and spontaneous sex-changes. If you've seen and/or read JURASSIC PARK, you know what I'm talking about.
