Jabba the Hutt in 1983’s Return of the Jedi

Lucas was notorious for going back and tweaking the originals. Jabba was missing in the original cut but reinserted as CGI in the 1997 version. The space battles in 'Star Wars the original (1977)' were achieved using motion controlled camera matte effects and models as the CGI technology wasn't available at the time.
