I always thought that the green guy told him to get up and that was a warning shot (I thought he would get more of a bounty if caught alive) -- but he did not know Han had his pistol out.... just a thought... but I never knew that there was a squabble about that one..

Has no one here seen the originals?!

I know right?

I can't believe George keeps going out of his way to ruin something that was made so long ago. Leave it be. Stop editing it.

Did it ever occur to anyone that the reason why everyone thinks Han shot first was because the footage was incomplete and cut due to time, and the portion they filmed originally before splicing it out of the movie was of Greedo shooting first? They then completed the scene by putting the footage back in for the special edition. He directed it, and watched over the thing being shot, he'd know if he shot first or not.

Part of me wishes now that Lucas had just died after Jedi. It just makes me sad sometimes that my youth was shaped by something wonderful he made but he has spent my entire adult life trying to destroy and ruin it.

Every time I see one of those Vodafone adverts with Yoda in I die a little more inside.

I completely agree, im not massively into star wars but it's known that it's beloved by millions around the world, i hate seeing character pimped out to flog some crappy products.

Let's not forget Luca's ruining the end of 'Return of the Jedi' by putting that kid in there!

yeah it didn't make sense to me either, if they are showing anakin why not a young kenobi? Personally they should have left it as the original.

You clearly didn't understand the point of that scene. There's a perfectly good reason why it's the young Anakin that's there. At the root of it, because it's Anakin that's there and not vader, that was the last time he was Anakin, and not Vader, the sith.

I timed it just right -

Its been said "Genius is nothing but continued attention." -unknown

But he really needs to leave this saga alone.

I wish he would realize he has a desire to create more Star Wars movies - and then act on it. Not trying to passify his time with tweaks here and there -

Can someone tell me what is so bad about shooting Greedo first. Many movies we have seen the Han Solo-esque character who would have blown Greedo away as soon as he saw him, or at least beat the **** out of him and walk away....

This was clearly a hate crime, and Lucas edited it to look like the white man was acting in self-defense.

Yep - and when he stepped on Jabba's tail in the re-make it was clearly a euphemism for the white man walking all over the black man, right ? :rofl:

Poor Lucas.

Maybe he thinks the only thing he has left is Star Wars, so keeps re-cutting it. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Marge re-cuts that dress many many times when she is invited to the posh club.

As others have said, it does not really matter who shot first and I love the Star Wars films. I am not a die hard cult worshipping follower or anything but in the blu-ray cut it is hardly even noticable unless you are specifically looking at it as it happens so fast. Just leave it be! And yes I do have the original VHS tapes as well ;) Thinking about grabing the laser disc versions just for kicks :p

If Greedo shot first how did he miss at point blank range, Mr. Lucas? Perhaps you can explain that?

Read Tales of the Cantina or whatever it was called. it's a book with short stories including the story of who Greedo is and how he ended up where he is. He's a nobody, and this was pretty much his first job. he's not some big bad well known bounty hunter, he's just pond scum.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.

      Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
