Then why bring up special effects for that scene?  the only reason 
special effects were needed for the scene I described is that Lucas 
changed Jaba from a human to a worm between episodes 4 and 5--it was 
easy to do because Jaba was not seen in episode 4.

Greedo shooting first makes more sense; I don't know why it wasn't that 
way in the original, other than to save a bit of time--a second here, 
and a second there, and pretty soon you're talking full minutes.
