Technically, Han didn't shoot first.
Since Greedo never fired his weapon in the original theatrical cut of Star Wars, Han didn't fire the first shot, he fired the only shot.
So Lucas is actually trying Jedi mind tricks on his fan base?
I never thought Han just shot the green goon out of the blue, I ALWAYS considered it a clear case of self defense. This was wild west rules as that was the whole point of having a damn bar scene for gawd sake.
And 99.9% of fans percieve it that way too.
It didn't make Han a bad guy in any way, just a bad ass.
Honestly. I think that's a sad vision.I've had a prophetic vision of what will happen when Georgie finally kicks the bucket: He has spent so much money and effort in an attempt to supress the original theatrical cuts of the OT and angered so many fans by doing so that on the day of his death I can see the shafts of light breaking through the darkened clouds that have overhung SW fandom for so long, hundreds of thousands of people shaking off their shackles, taking our SE dvds and tossing them onto giant pyres across the land as Marcia Lucas announces that the originals will now be released on Blu-Ray. A great cry of bliss as someone shouts "WEESA FREEEEEE!!!!!" and the great statue of Lucas at Skywalker Ranch topples as Rick McCallum is herded out in chains, confetti rains down from the heavens, fireworks burst, people dance in the street, and trumpets herald the dawning of a new era.
Or maybe I just put too much hot sauce on my tacos before I went to bed last night. :lol
He is our Howard Hughes.
Kevin
Howard Hughes a genius? How so?
He inherited $750 million dollars, and turned it into a billion. Big deal.
Much is made of the fact that all he got was his dads machine shop. But his dad invented the drill bit that every Oil Rig in the world used, and still does. So he had $750,000,000.00 when he died.
So Howard made a few airplanes, a few movies, then moved to Vegas and wore klennex boxes as shoes.
Honestly. I think that's a sad vision.
Well, like all alleged prophetic visions it was probably the result of illicit drugs. :lol
Howard Hughes was a genius on a number of levels, actually. He was a brilliant designer and visionary in the aviation world, but his father's tool company is what enabled him to put his dreams into practice. He also had an incredible photographic memory. His mental state deterioated due to a variety of reasons: his obsessive compulsive disorder, possible head injury due to two major crashes, and an addiction to codeine that he was never able to shake. That's basically how he ended up the way he did. Very sad situation. George Lucas on the other hand is just going increasingly senile.
Uhhhhh, I think you're all forgetting that Howard Hughes also invented the rocket pack. Hasn't anyone seen that one documentary? I think it was called "The Rocketeer".
That wasn't Howard Hughes. That was the guy from LOST.
