Lucas claims that Han never shot first.
Huh. Is that related to thing where we have always been at war with Eastasia?
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

Instead of people editing their movies to get rid of "lewdness", they can edit them to make Han shoot first.
Really, there needs to be someone to grab George and say "Stop fucking with it!"

It's on youtube. Frame by frame comparisons with the edits, as well as reconstruction of him shooting first from the new stock.
