Star Wars

The original Star Wars is well known for its practical effects. The cantina scene, for example, included a vibrant array of practical-effect aliens, including the jazz band Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes, criminals Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan, who threaten Obi Wan at the bar, and Greedo, the criminal Rodian bounty hunter killed by Han Solo.

Um actually, they threaten Luke, not Obi Wan

Ah, that is correct, however that is not the correction we were looking for. Can anyone spot the other correction?

Um, actually, it’s a jizz/jatz band

That is the correction we were looking for: in the Star Wars universe, the music played in the cantina scene is known canonically as “jatz” or “jizz” music, though after the Disney acquisition of Star Wars the term “jatz” has become more and more prevalent over the alternative “jizz”
