Yeah, I saw one review take that interpretation, which works.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Finally saw Fincher's Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I was quite intrigued by the differences and the similarities to the Swedish film. I knew going in the film was right up Fincher's alley, and he kept a very similar visual feel without just making a shot for shot remake. I was very glad to see that he kept it a Swedish film - about Swedes and set in Sweden. I was also very impressed with Rooney Mara's Swedish accent. Having spent well over a decade in the company of Swedes, it sounded dead on to my ear.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Lucas claims that Han never shot first.
WTF is he trying to do? Does he want to ruin everyone's childhood?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Lucas claims that Han never shot first.
Huh. Is that related to thing where we have always been at war with Eastasia?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Assy.

I wonder, is it possible for me to buy Star Wars: The Han Shot First Edition on DVD these days?

Are you implying that Han ever killed anyone? Give Georgie a couple more years, and all the good guys will be more pacifistic than Gandhi. (eta: Mahatma, not Indira or any others)

Thrive to spite them
Lucas needs to stop. I don't know why he's so against Han shooting first, but this late in the game there's no way he's going to convince anyone that it was all a "misunderstanding".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was "Han shot first" ever on DVD?
