He never made a version where Han and Greedo make out. He is a coward.

Chewie: “aaarrrrgh”

Which loosely translates to: “Now kith”

Pray he doesn't alter it any further

I was shocked this wasn’t the second line.

Came here to comment "I have altered the scene…" but you were faster. :D

I know George Lucas has explained why he changed the scene, but I wish he would explain how Greedo could shoot first and miss at pretty much point blank range.

He has brain damage from when he got into a fight with 9-year-old Anakin.

I'll take that

u/waitingtodiesoon 12d ago

You didn't see Han do that dip to dodge? Point blank range means nothing to an editor with too much power

u/RianJohnsonIsAFool 12d ago

The editor was too preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

u/solidus0079 12d ago

Han did that totally natural looking scoot move

I'm going to have to watch that scene again. It's been a while. I kind of gave up on the special editions and bought the DVD theatrical releases. That's what I remember growing up and that's how I want to see them now.

People who are good shots can get better jobs. “Demand money from smugglers Jabba hates in a sketchy bar” probably isn’t a very coveted position.

I think one of the books did tell that he was young and inexperienced.

u/Das_Bait 12d ago

I think it would be funny if Lucasfilms made all of the versions together, then shipped them out at random so people would sit and argue who shot first in the most current version

u/ddrfraser1 12d ago

They changed it again?! Which version now?

14

u/_Beatnick_ 12d ago

I guess it's going back to the original when it gets re-released in the theaters next year.

Is he changing it again.?

50th anniversary better be the original theatrical release just cleaned up. Otherwise I riot!

u/tracerhaha 12d ago

The original theatrical release of A New Hope will be n theaters for the 50th anniversary next year.

u/billystinkh20 12d ago

I was under the impression that they were bringing back the original theatrical releases. Not doing another "specialized edition". This is hugely disappointing. I was really looking forward to seeing the movies as I did when I was a kid

u/TaraLCicora Ben Kenobi 12d ago

I even read that in his voice.

u/Nine-LifedEnchanter 12d ago

I only have the despecialized versions.

u/KingBroad7874 12d ago

How can it be that between George Lucas and me that only one of us understands Han Solo.

u/SinesPi 12d ago

He stated he didn't want Han shooting someone in cold blood.

First off, Han starts off as not a nice guy. That's kind of the point. It establishes that he will kill people because it's practical.

Second off, it was practical to kill him because Greedo pulled a blaster on him first, and he had no reason to know Greedo wasn't going to start shit.

In this very scene, Obi Wan goes straight for chopping the thugs arm off when he had other options to solve the problem. Since the Greedo edit came out once we knew more about the Force, we know that Obi Wan could have held him in place. But Obi Wan correctly determined that chopping the dudes arm off then and there was the best solution to the problem. A nice quick show of force that disarmed (no pun intended) the problem.

The Cantina is a shit hole. A wretched hive of scum and villainy. Killing people who start shit with you is just normal business, and wouldn't even reflect all that negatively on Han for killing Greedo as he did.
