Here's a wacky little revelation from George Lucas, from an interview with the Hollywood Reporter:
The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn't. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down.So Han Solo never shot first, eh? All right. I guess we'll just ignore what we actually saw in the movie that was released in 1977, and all the TV broadcasts between then and the special editions, and also the VHS releases during that time, and also that non-anamorphic widescreen DVD release you crapped out a few years ago, and then the YouTube video above. Yes, all those things clearly and empirically show Han shooting first -- mainly because Greedo never fires at all, and thus cannot possibly be first in a race he didn't enter -- but because obviously we should trust a single comment made by George Lucas in 2012, which he never felt worth clarifying in the 20 years between the original release of Star Wars in 1977 and the Special Edition in 1997, nor anytime in the 15 years since then. That... that makes sense.
Honestly, this isn't George Lucas being oddly obtuse anymore, it's him being insane. Nerd ladies and gentlemen, it is official; we need to stop being mad at Lucas and start pitying him, because the man is at best delusional, and more likely losing his mind.

if you ignore him, he will go away.
-
Yeah, I basically agree with you. The footage that they used for the SE clearly wasn't shot contemplating that Greedo got a shot off. But my point is that in the original 1977 cut, there's no visual evidence that Greedo does not shoot. Hell, you can't even tell if Han shoots or not. You just have (1) medium close up of Han which dissolves into (2) bright flash of light, which dissolves into (3) Greedo exploding. You never see Greedo's blaster after the flashes start. It would be perfectly consistent with what's on screen for George to say that he spontaneously combusted like a Spinal Tap drummer. As I say above, clearly George is lying to himself about what his intentions were. But like the best lies, they're not contradicted by any evidence.
-
How is this any different than another Lucas production... in Raiders of the Lost Ark, where Indy shoots the sword bearing guy in the market place, without a 2nd thought and walks away... For all we know that guy was just doing a sword swinging presentation (which isn't uncommon in Egypt, like snake charming). So Lucas going to go back and re-edit Indy, to have this guy actually charge Indy first, or somehow throw the sword at him first? Solo is still a scoundrel and a pirate, what makes him above shooting first? In that situation, I would have too, Greedo had his gun drawn on Han, that's enough in my eyes, it's like the old spaghetti westerns. And it gives more of a dynamic for Han's growth through the series, to come from this scoundrel to a general in the New Republic, with Leia putting him in his place.
-
In conclusion: Wan chopped first.
-
Exactly. And the scene visually indicates Han was hiding his blaster under the table the whole time, which would be silly unless he was planning to shoot first without Greedo knowing.
-
I know, but that's how he phrased it in a recent interview. Thus, it would be ironic if that was in this interview, where he tries to convince people who have facts and reality that they can objectively point to, that he intended something completely different the whole time. (I still haven't watched it yet.)
-
Considering how often George has tweaked and re-edited and re-mastered and re-whatever'ed the Star Wars movies anyhow, and also considering the current state of Hollywood, anyone care to speculate on when he will decide to reboot the entire franchise? Mainly kidding, but one truly has to wonder. MAN, if GL even hinted at doing this, imagine the tsunami of head explosions it would cause.
-
If Greedo had shot first, Han would have been wounded or dead. Yes, people constantly missed from 10 feet away in Star Wars, but Greedo and Han were a lot closer and neither was moving. That's part of why the addition of Greedo's shooting and missing looks so bad.
-
I think it was a sword. Indy drops him from range. Lucas was fine with shooting first until he got older, realized these characters were popular, and were profitable marketed to kids. That's probably the main reason Indy doesn't kill people in Crystal Skull, because both Lucas and Spielberg both decided Indiana Jones was a children's movie character.
-
I actually believe that George believes this. I also believe that he believes that back in the 70's he actually wrote all six films, even though this is somewhat disputed by the fact that he has Luke and Leia sucking face in The Empire Strikes Back and then decides to make them brother and sister in Return of the Jedi (hardly forward thinking). Han being a shoot first ask questions later kind of dude was cool in the 70's. It was all Dirty Harry and edgy but then when it turned out that Han was actually the hero and not Luke, George suddenly realised (while simultaneously realising back in the 70's) that he needed Han to be the hero not the anti-hero hence Greedo shooting first. Bottom line this is a man who has not made an original film since 1977, think about that people, most of you reading this weren't even born then, possibly your parents weren't born. He has been living in this world for 40 years!!! He made so much money out of these films that it blew any creativity he would ever have ever again. So now he just sits in Skywalker Ranch fiddling with the minutiae of three films (ok six if you include those three abortions he made about ten years ago) and wondering why he can't get any good music on tape anymore.
-
I could see this happening for real, but only if George Lucas starts suffering from a real, legitimate mental disorder (i.e. actual brain damage). The brain damage combined with his overinflated ego from before will cause him to be obsessed with showing the world how great his beloved creation Jar Jar Binks is, and pretend that Han Solo never existed. He'll claim that the character was always intended to be Jar Jar, that Harrison Ford was a stand-in who ad-libbed his lines to seem like a cocky smuggler, and that technical limitations and a rushed release date prevented the Jar Jar character from being fully realized. I reiterate, though, that he probably wouldn't do this unless he TRULY starts suffering from a severe mental disorder.
-
He'll probably pass on the rights to his daughter when he dies, and secretly require that she herself deliberately troll the fanbase and edit/release/market the movies with a "Star Wars belongs to my dad and the kids, and not you" mindset - which she probably won't do.
-
Sounds about right - except where did you hear this? It'd explain everything.
-
Why the whole "Han shot first" thing? I mean, he shot, Greedo didn't. It should be "Han shot. Period."
-
The same Universe as most of us - and quite distinct from the Universe that George has been living in for the last ten years.
-
Note: I just re-read this, and it is written very sloppily. Hopefully people are able to translate from Cuthbert To English. Sorry about that. Well, with the examples used in this article, Lucas' comments could be possible (he wasn't able to shoot the scene as wanted). But I don't believe that. That being said... it's still bullcrabcakes. If Lucas always wanted to have Greedo shoot first, the script he himself wrote shouldn't have said: "Suddenly the slimy alien disappears in a blinding flash of light. Han pulls his smoking gun from beneath the table as the other patrons look on in bemused amazement. Han gets up and starts out of the cantina" Only 1 flash of light implies only 1 shot taken by them (by Han), not 2 (by Greedo and Han). And, if Lucas always wanted to have Greedoo shoot first, the script he himself wrote shouldn't have had the following dialogue: JABBA And why did you haveto fry poor Greedo like that…after all we’ve been through together. HAN You sent Greedo to blast me. JABBA(mock surprise) Han, why you’re the best smugglerin the business. You’re too valuableto fry. He was only relaying myconcern at your delays. He wasn’tgoing to blast you. HAN I think he thought he was. ------------------- So, Jabba confirms that Greedo wasn't supposed to shoot. And yet Han thought Greedo was there to shoot him. But, he shot Greedo before Greedo could shoot him, as he assumed, implying that in reality, he never actually gave Greedo a shot, which itself then implies that there was only 1 shot made. And, as the first quote said, only 1 shot being fired implies Han shot first. A counter-argument can be made that Greedo was going to go rogue and kill Han without Jabbas approval, which could account for how Greedo shot first. But, I doubt it. By the way, if anyone is that bored, http://starwarz.com/starkiller/ has 14 scripts from the 6 movies. Mostly A New Hope (8) and Empire Strikes Back (2). SPOILER ALERT!! The best is the Leigh Brackett first draft of Empire, where Yoda is named Minsh, Darth Vader has a castle on the planet Ton Muund (what we know as Coruscant), Lando is a clone, Han isn't frozen (or even captured), Lukes sister is "Nellith" (Leia also is in the script and uses the name Leia), Hans estranged stepfather, Ovan Marekal, is the 3rd most powerful man in the galaxy, and what we know as Bespin would be called Hoth (I can't recall what they call "hoth," if anything)... just interesting readings.
-
You know, all this talk about whether Han or Greedo shot first makes me wonder if there's anything out there suitable for a FFF...
-
Nope. You're thinking of a different guy. http://www.walkingtaco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/han-shot-first.jpg
-
I don't know who to hate more. Verizon for making that fucked up piece of shit. Lucas for allowing that over flowing diarrhea ridden toilet to exist. Or me for actually watching it through to the end.
-
More importantly: Did you folks know that in the Cantina scene, when Ponda Baba/Walrus Man gets his arm cut off by Obi-Wan Kenobi, if you freeze frame it, it's clearly supposed to be Dr."I have the death sentence on 12 systems!" Evazan, because you clearly see it about to happen in the background when Luke is tossed? It's only corrected in the better-than-Lucas-ever-put-out Star Wars: A New Hope Revisited, though. Which should be in your collection instead of the Lucas versions.
-
As I commented elsewhere on this. Oh George. You are not Steve Jobs. You do not have a reality distortion field.
-
He's a Ballschinnian like in MIB2?
-
The "severed arm" scene a the Cantina was not included in the original British cinema release(s) of "Star Wars". The reason for the deletion? The British ratings boards were going to give it the UK equivalent of an "R" rating- any visible bloodshed meant that kids (without their parents) couldn't get in to see it. Effectively; that tiny deletion meant that the first time the UK audiences saw a light sabre in action was when Vader struck down Kenobi. US audiences watched Obi Wan vanish and were mystified- where had Ben's body gone? That's not what a light sabre does! UK audiences saw the same event on the Death Star as "Oh- so that's what a light sabre does!" Even the tiniest change...
-
Yes.
-
Han shooting first when Greedo had a gun in his face made him badass, not a cold blooded killer.
-
Anybody that was in the theater in 1977,when I was 6 1/2 and there, knows that IF Greedo shot first his shot sucked! Han Solo gave him the slow draw until they both had weapons pointed at each other, then"...I bet you have." PTZER!!! Plus his distracting hand movements. He was already outdrawn so he ran with not getting shot. Played it silky smooth. That was one of the best cowboy scences ever! Has anyone seen the 3D Phantom Menace?
-
The ENTIRE POINT of Han Solo was as a redemption character. When he's not around Chewbacca, he's selfish and chill-blooded. As Han becomes more involved with the Rebellion, he grows and matures into a selfless character. Han shooting first hammers that point home. He was SUPPOSED to not give a **** about shooting someone preemptively.
-
People, people please.... Sure we're all angry now, but just imagine how enraged we'll be by the Super-Special Edition release a few years from now where Han is removed entirely and replaced by...Jar Jar Binks. No, think about it! There's really nothing that Han does in the original films that couldn't be replaced with Jar Jar's bumbling, thereby polishing away so many of those unsightly "rough edges". Greedo shoots himself when Jar Jar falls out of his seat. Jar Jar presses the wrong button and ends up at the Death Star, startling 'Mauler' Mithel into clipping Vader's fighter. Also, no more pesky actors improvising decent dialogue as in the Cloud City Freezing Chamber and Gelato Shoppe. Leia: I love you. Jar Jar: AWWWW!!! MEESA LOVIN' YOU TOO LEE-LEE!! WHOOPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're welcome :)
-
That's no Buccula. It's a space station.
-
Thanks for that, man. As for what Lucas said, it is not being a "cold blooded killer" if a man has a gun on you and is gloating about killing you and you shoot him first. That is self defense. At least that is self defense in the universe I live in.
-
I believe that George is deliberately throwing out 3D versions of the movie just to drive up demand of remastered (not reimagined!) copies of the original movies being released on DVD. He will then wait 2-3 years while people continue to bitch and moan about wanting to see the originals. Then he will release the original 3 on DVD, and will make another butt load of money.
-
I like that Han shot first, not because I view him as a cold-blooded-killer, but because it makes his change from rogue to hero so much more meaningful!
-
Han WAS/IS a cold-blooded killer...Star Wars wasn't just about Luke Skywalker, it was also about the redemption of a bad dude. Smuggler, scoundrel, deep in debt with intergalactic gangsters, has a price on his head and hangs out in the worst bar in a settlement that Obi-wan calls a "hive of scum and villainy." We're supposed to think that Han Solo is some choir boy jerk-off?!?! A man, who when he does kill that green turd Greedo, doesn't even get a second look from the patrons of the bar...maybe he kills dudes all the time in the Mos Eisley Cantina...
-
Is George self-delusional? I think the train well-n-truly left the station on that one years ago. Did Greedo shoot first? Never cared. Despite obviously being an incredibly bad shot, he pointed his gun at a known bad-ass; openly stated his intention of either giving said bad-ass to Jabba, killing or robbing him; AND let the guy drop his gun hand below the table. Greedo was clearly too stupid to live. What Han did was both a kindness and a public safety thing.
-
I remember reading an article in Time or Newsweek when the special edition movies hit theaters in 1997 where Lucas stated that he redid the Greedo scene because he no longer felt comfortable with Han being a cold blooded killer. So him claiming now that it was always supposed to be this way is stunningly full of shit.
-
Han shot first. Deal with it.
-
Actually, just one question. If Greedo shot at all, not just first, but if he fired his gun period - how did he missed by a good foot or so? Han is sitting in a slouched manner that makes him both entirely immobile and a much wider target and can't be farther away than four feet at most. A trained killer with experience and determined to shoot to kill? And he misses by a mile? Somehow? Yeah, totally intended to be vague. In related revelations, Han Solo was always meant to step on Jabba the Hut's tail at the spaceport. That was the original scene after all. It has nothing to do with Jabba initially being just a very portly human being that Harrison Ford actually could walk behind. No sir.
-
pardon me WHILE I PICK MY JAW UP FROM THE FLOOR
-
Actually, I'm Lucas's beard. Interpret that how-ever you like...
-
i donno, i don't think he made his anger clear enough
-
*slow clap* I disagree with absolutely everything, but that was well written, and I feel your anger through my screen. Good, good. Give in to the Butthurt. Let it flow through.
-
It is funny to be called a troll for being rational and not taking up pitchforks and torches every time this over-worked meme is brought up.
-
Damn it... hate it when my formatting collapses... :)
-
Going with what the script ORIGINALLY SAID? Seriously...? I can't tell if you're just trolling or what... From THE ART OF STAR WARS: Including the Complete Script of the Film by George Lucas(1979, Ballantine Books)GREEDO: That's the idea. I've been looking forward to killing you for a long time.HAN: Yes, I'll bet you have.Suddenly the slimy alien disappears in a blinding flash of light. Han pulls his smoking gun from beneath the table as the other patrons look on in bemused amazement. Han gets up and starts out of the cantina, flipping the bartender some coins as he leaves.HAN: Sorry about the mess. You know, you're right. Looking at what the script ORIGINALLY SAID it is so painfully clear the audience was supposed to think Greedo shot first. We are definitely in the wrong and you are worlds wiser and smarter than all of us.
-
but can't you see the magnificence of the boner given to us by nil? "i'm so sick of star wars fans going on and on about xyz that i'm going to make a post that's a wall of text larger than the article going on and on about star wars fans going on and on...." it's ... it's.... it's reduced me to total laughter.... hee hee hee hahahahahahahahahaha hooohoooohooo!!!! i see what you did there nil, heheheheh!!!!
-
Exactly, I was watching the DVD the other day, strictly the bonus version of the original films. The size of the picture on my screen was tiny, the quality grainy and the sound mixed in it's original .2 stereo. It was only when I chucked on the special edition to see the difference that it occurred to me how much Lucas hates his fans. The picture is huge, sound remixed and everything is clearer.
-
Dude, what the hell are you talking about? In the original film, there is no question as to what happened. Greedo didn't fire, it's not ambiguous at all, he didn't fire. Star Wars and Empire are not kids films, that noise starts with Jedi. Basically why people are pissed is that Lucas thinks it's fine to go back and change whatever he likes, which is fine because it's his damn film, then make it impossible to get a decent version of the version that the people that made the films a success actually want to see. That's where it becomes not fine, if you ever watch the DVD bonus version where you can watch the original versions it becomes clear that Lucas hates Star Wars fans, he really does.He brought this upon himself, he obviously has no real love for the films, just a love of money, but refuses to back down and is now making stuff up (What's next? Obi-Wan was always a CGI monkey, people just weren't paying attention.) No other film(s) have been treated as shabbily by their creator and because of that people are pissed. I personally don't like the idea of anyone coming to harm but if the only chance of getting a decent copy of the original film on DVD or blu-ray is that Lucas drops of the twig, well then, here's hoping
-
LOL
-
Oh for fuck's sake, this is why I hate Star Wars nerds. Because they're some of the stupidest, most self-righteous, obnoxious asshole snobs on Earth who need to be right about the smallest fucking shit and throw tantrums about it constantly, even if they're clearly crying about decades-old shit that's not even important, anyway, and might not even BE right about it. Just as long as they think they are, they'll shove their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la" to anything else out there. Or either viciously overreact about everything to the point of wishing death and harm and hatred against the man that brought you something you claim to love in the first place, and try to start telling him what his rights are with his own property. All of this over what has, for decades, been essentially a cheesy Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers remake for little kids. Despite all actual evidence actually backing Lucas up on this, if these self-proclaimed "fans" would actually go back and WATCH how the scene was shot, or read the actual fucking script. You want to claim to be nerds? Go and actually analyze this shit for once, instead of nerdraging the fuck out and whining first, before you exhibit that so-called "genius level of detail" that you seem to pride yourselves on, of analyzing this shit to see. But no, even in the fact of all your over-dramatic whining and pissing yourselves, none of you actually take enough time to actually go look at the scene and draw the logical conclusion of what happened before bawwing your eyes out and putting the creator of this overrated drivel on some kind of burning stake for the inhuman crime of doing some things with his own material that you disagreed with. Well, since you can't do it without shutting off what passes for your mind and screaming at the sky like a retarded goose at the first sign of something that slightly disturbs the believes you created in these films that seem to make up your entire little worlds, I'll do it for you: The scene was obviously filmed and edited originally to be intentionally vague as to who shot first. Because, you know, actually, go watch the fucking thing, maybe. Crazy idea, I know. Maybe you'll see the close-ups and vagueness of the scene he's talking about. Go ahead, the clip is right the fuck there. The problem being that, following this, obviously too many nerds saw things one way instead of the vagueness that Lucas originally intended, so he decided to make it more clear later, by zooming out and going with what the script ORIGINALLY SAID and what the zoom-in of the original purposefully made vague. And, by the way, i'm not touching the logistics of the edits themselves or their existence (i.e: whether they were for the better or for the worse of the product), other than to say..... get over yourselves, fanboys. The movies DON'T belong to you, except in the selfish, self-entitled, whiny, metaphorical sense. Which is never going to hold up in any other place other than your own deluded minds, so stop it. They're his films, so shut the fuck up and you'll take it and like it, one way or the other..... whether you agree or not, anyway. Got that? So, he intended it to be vague. Then when people didn't see it as vague, he zoomed out and went with what he had originally written. Mystery solved. Wasn't that easy? Well, not for a bunch of nerdy fucking whiners that couldn't see the forest for the trees, even if their mother had been raped by a redwood, but I digress. Don't ya feel stupid? Yeah, ya do. Stupid Star Wars fans. And again, all of this over a bunch of overrated kiddie films, for christ's sake. Go do something else, goddamn. Like write a paper over the mating habits of Ewoks. Because, you know, they blink now, so i'm sure you can factor in something as to why they were never intended to blink and how this disrupts their ability to get their midget-furfag freak on, or whatever. I dunno. Just do it away somewhere, like a Star Wars image board so that no one on the rest of the internet, has to hear you whine about it. Seriously. Honestly, when it comes to this shit, sometimes I muse about with the idea, personally, that autism as a diagnosis came about in the first place, half because of fucking Star Wars fans. With all these viciously deluded manchildren that try to file for the creation of legitimate religions based on some silly sci-fi kiddie films from the 70's and 80's, that most normal people grow out of by the time they turn 16, and then piss and cry about how it's all for kids NOW, as if it somehow wasn't back in 80's, what with all the goddamn Kenner toys being produced. Or maybe, if the Star Wars fans of today weren't such sickening obsessive Spurgin' fucking idiots... the question of whether or not Q-bert's seasick cousin pulled a trigger before Harrison Ford wouldn't matter to them so goddamn much several decades later, especially since the beady-eyed fucking booger ended up dead, either way. But what-fucking-ever. Let's just fucking say that whoever you think shot first, is whoever you think shot first. Just please shut the fuck up about it, because no one who matters fucking cares, anymore. I assure you.
-
Not necessarily; they wanted to get rid of "Motherfucker" in the South Park movie, so we got "Unclefucker" instead and it's so much funnier.
-
>Hayden Christensen >Tearful Piano I can't hear any Imperial March, my mind filled with nothing but the very scene you described with a warbly take on "Benny and the Jets." Va-Va-Va-Vader and the Sith!
-
Yes. How dare he actually have common sense and bring up an actually good point? He's clearly a troll because he brings up a decent point that you in your irrational fury, will not even remotely consider for half a second.
-
Ben Kenobi is as full of shit as his progenitor.
-
Stop trying really hard to troll and to be "hey I think differently for no reason" guy.
-
I'm willing to bet the MPAA could not have cared less.
-
Careful with him now: he bites.
-
What? You guys must be watching a different movie; Greedo shot first, and Han died, and the subsequent hour was just Hayden Christensen doing a tearful piano rendition of the Imperial March, while pictures of the youngling's faces appeared, ghostlike, in the background. Right?
-
He really should just retire, OH WAIT, he did, and he's still doing this stupid shit.
-
Christ Almighty, that's not even a joke. I think you quite literally channeled George Lucas for that post. That's <b><i>exactly</i></b> the kind of thing he'd say.
-
That's pretty much the only choice we have - fan restorations of the old releases. I don't believe it, but Lucas has said that "he taped over" the original master prints for Star Wars. How fuck would something like that even be possible!?
-
There was no Holiday Special. Just ask Lucas.
-
I haven't bought a new set since the original vhs. Don't trust Lucas not to screw it up.
-
Depending on what bag I grab them from they could be either penises, or miniature sarlacci; that will inflame your appendix for a thousand years.
-
So, we're never going to get a non-fucked up restored version are we? Time to borrow my mom's VHS tapes and convert them to digital. I will not raise my kid in a world where Han didn't shoot first!
-
Exactly what I've been saying for years!
-
it's all we got so you better enjoy those PENISES
-
Those aren't even straws though...more like wet limp noodles....or penises that have been ripped off by a monster, your choice.
-
i've been from one end of thus lucasian galaxy to another and you grasp what ever straws the sentient double chin gives you.
-
Wait....your referencing the Clone Wars cartoon as a GOOD thing?!
-
I wanna go home and re-edit my life's work.
-
"the force being an STD?" Huh? You can't "catch" the force by fucking a Jedi. Otherwise Amidala would be force-throwing shit left and right.
-
Let me channel my Lucas-Logic......... "Well, you see, part of the Jedi training process is a knowledge of all living creatures. Obi-Wan recognized what species that alien was, and knew that that PARTICULAR species of alien is... um... able to re-grow their limbs over the course of a few hours! Yeah... YEAH! See? I had that planned all along, but it wasn't made clear in the final shoot."
-
He did not change "a few little things."
-
I'll bet you have. PEW PEW
-
"capable hands of the people who are making the Clone Wars cartoon" That piece of kiddie bullshit? The one with Jabba's gay uncle?
-
It's not inanity It's Buccula (the medical term for double chin, I'm as surprised as anyone there is a term for it)
-
I will give you one(1) Harlan Ellison for said blu-ray!
-
That's not inanity. That's my wife!
-
Your sacrifice is accepted, and your request noted. I'll think about it after the 3D holo-sensory smell-ovision edition.
-
See it from my point of view. You know it to be true.
-
I'm not even supposed to be here today.
-
But Bantha milk is what I derive my power from, why would I let him lay off it? *wills George to have another glass*
-
oh great double chin, accept my sacrifice of 1 rob bricken soul in exchange for a bluray release of the original theatrical release of the OT
-
OMG
-
Dammit, if you're going to post a spoiler, make sure you warn everyone! Jerk
-
It's not so much that I've tricked him, as it is he is an extension of me: a double chin.
-
That is not the goiter your looking for. *waves hand*
-
very very true. I've always found that very out of character for old ben.
-
Doctor, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to, depend greatly on our own point of view.
-
But you need extra chins to get the right angle to see it.
-
It's his revenge on all the people that didn't eat up the Turd-Burger that the Special Ed. And Prequels are. Seriously after seeing him in that "Han shot first" Shirt on the Indy Set I think he's just trolling the World like no one has trolled before. He's like this Kid that cheated his way through school with the help of others, may even had some bright ideas and now got found out and then still wants to be praised by everyone. Let's just hope that somewhere down the line, some of the people behind the Clone Wasrs Cartoon or the better Videogames get to take over. Because right now Lucas is taking a Deathstar sized turd on his legacy.
-
Actually, now that I think about it, wouldn't it be a serious fuck job if Lucas adds a scene after Anakin kills the younglings of a little Han Solo staggering out of the room alive and swearing to never believe in the Jedi again? Hell, I'd go see that just to hear puking groans of nerd brain explosions all over the theater. DO IT GEORGE!!!!!!
-
And one Holiday Special.
-
Everyone, I think I have the answer to this Lucas debacle; George Lucas does quite literally hate us Star Wars fans... It's obvious when you think about it, he regularly makes completely unnecessary changes to the Original Trilogy, which is beloved by fans the world over, which completely change the tone of the films for the worse. He made the prequels, which are aimed almost exclusively to kids and not at all towards the adult Star Wars fan base. And after making the changes to the Original trilogy he refuses to release the original non special edition versions of the original trilogy into a modern high standard format, for apparently no reason. And to add insult to injury doggedly refuses to accept the reasons why Star wars fans are angry toward him, even defending to the hilt his actions, while trying to convince us that we are the ones who don't understand how Star Wars should be, just like in the article above. Now, I don't know what it is we've done to him, maybe it's how exuberantly wealthy we've made him, how our fandom has helped him to build Lucasarts or how the success of Star Wars has made him incredibly more influential as a filmmaker than he otherwise would have been... but we must have done something truly awful to this guy, to make him have so much thinly veiled contempt toward us... So there, what's the real reason why Han didn't shoot first? Because were in an abusive relationship with a bearded asshole, THAT'S WHY!
-
that's not senility it's inanity
-
:lucas raises his hands: useless, useless
-
the issue is not trying to retcon his story. He's trying to retcon reality and facts. Old people get little delusional in those years. My dad has a bit of the selective memory thing too.
-
But his SENTIENT DOUBLE CHIN mind tricks him pretty hard. It even made him wear a "Han Shot first" T-Shirt on the "Indy 4" Set. Look it up.
