lmfao !!chuck rockss!!

Another scene that Lucas should have left alone. Having Han shoot Greedo(and be the only one even firing a weapon) shows you exactly what kind of person he is. And, it is entirely necessary for the audience to see him this way, or they won't buy how he changes over the films.

Midi Chlorians shot first

Han Solo = Chuck Norris in space

Koona t'chuta Solo?I love this movie!

@smartpartsmc2 who doesn't do any research...Star Wars Episode 1 director: George LucasStar Wars Episode 2 director: George LucasStar Wars Episode 3 director: George LucasStar Wars Episode 4 director: George LucasStar Wars Episode 5 director: Irvin KershnerStar Wars Episode 6 director: Richard MarquandIMDB*com is your friend...

You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not referring to the way the film was shot- I'm referring to the 1992 Laserdisc master which was NOT anamorphic, it was 4:3 letterboxed, meaning that the image area when viewed on a widescreen TV has approximately 33% less resolution than an anamorphic widescreen master. Get your facts straight. Google "the anamorphic issue" by Neil S. Bulk and educate yourself.

Further: The anamorphic encoding onto DVD is related to the anamorphic filming technique (aka Cinemascope) only by name. For instance, Star Wars (1977) was filmed in 2.35:1 ratio using an anamorphic camera lens, and shown in theaters using the corresponding projector lens. Since it is a widescreen film, when encoded to a widescreen-format DVD the studio would almost certainly use the anamorphic encoding process.

No - It doesn't matter whether the filming was done using the anamorphic lens technique: as long as the source footage is intended to be widescreen, the digital anamorphic encoding procedure is appropriate for the DVD release. As a sidenote, if a purely-non-widescreen version of the analog-anamorphic Star Wars was to be released on DVD, the only options would be pan-and-scan or hardcoded 4:3 letterboxing (with the black letterboxes actually encoded as part of the DVD data).

You are only partially correct. The originals WERE released in 2006 (which is where this came from). The debate continues because they sourced the original DVDs from nonanamorphic (letterboxed, not natively widescreen) masteres that were created in 1992 for a laserdisc release. If the original films were given a proper remastering & release on blu-ray, or even anamorphic DVD, then you would be correct & the debate would become pointless. But until that day comes...the debate will continue.

Also without a beard

han solo= chuck norris only cooler

Yeah, people are dissing Lucas because he changes things like Hayden Christensen at the end of Episode VI. It doesn't matter, what the changes are. Many people just don't like it.They don't care what you're complaining about on YouTube. Nobody gives a shit what you like best. As I've already said, it changes Han's character. If you shoot a guy until he shoots you or you kill him by self-defense. It would also make a difference in real life. So, you're bullshitting on YouTube. That's about it.

The latest version of the film available on DVD includes the two options to either play the change version or the theatrical (orginal) version. Subsequently, there is no longer a problem, thus this would negate the need for a debate on this topic.

not a jerk. i dont hate no strike that i dont care which hardly difforent version people complain about. what i do care is people dissing lucas. and complainig about a stupid scene. look han knew greedo was just about to shoot so he dodged and fried him, simple as that. i dont care what you grew up with but with all due respect the edited one wasnt meant to please the older audience. it was more like an excuse to show an updated version to a youger generation. there is no logic.shot first what!

@CptAmerica46 you still fail to understand what i'm getting at. There is no big difference in the original and edited. the story has not changed and if you want to view the original there are numerous ways to get it. what i'm acually trying to get at is the shocked people whom dont like the scene and call the creator stupid. ITS A TWO SECOND...NO WAIT ONE SECOND SCENE THAT BOTH RESULT IN GREEDO GETTING SHOT. lucas doesnt care first because the new is how he imagined and solo is (read next post)

If you don't like the original, then why do you complain here about something that has already been changed the way you like it? Many people grew up with the original so they prefer it and you like the edited version.Nothing more to say in here.God Bless AmericaPeace

I have to disagree with the creator having the right to modify the original. It was finished, it came out in the theaters, it became a part of the culture of the world, and as that it should be preserved the way it was. Of course, it can be redone as say a "Directors version", but not by abandoning the original.

thanks for clearing that up but only one problem remains Grayfox998. It was changed because the creator said it was. it doesnt matter what came first what matters is NOW, think about it, dude.

it does not man really. he shot first because he knew that greedo would eventually shoot. its got nothing to do with being a ice cold smuggler. but this new version claims that han has extra skills to dodge. look at the other episodes and its obvious that hes not a cool bastard or anywhere near. and it doesnt change SHIT! hes still a jerk,romantic, and violent. its like complaining about who took the first swing in the Bespin lightsaber battle. it doesnt change crap. han won anyway. you FAILED.
