Lithium:
i thought this was a joke until i started seeing this everywhere else

ShyGuy:
This may be my most popular thread ever. I deserve some sort of prize when it hits 100 pages.

I just can't believe people are discussing American Legal constructs on a lawless planet in a town that is described as a "Wretched hive of scum and villainy". That and "Cantina Planet".

I think acting in self defense comes in many flavors, and killing the aggressor is the extreme end of it. Han could have done several other actions, but he sat there cool as a cucumber, totally unfazed by the gun, and shoot Greedo in the gut. And quietly walked out throwing money to the bartender. Seems to me he may have done that before.

Han knew that Greedo wasn't going to shoot because Jabba wouldn't get his money. Greedo was just making a point.

Also LOL @ Catina planet... :D Next: that death star moon... lol

The issue of the original versions of the original trilogy is one of preserving film history. These films are three of the most important and culturally significant films ever made and they basically no longer exist. Yes, they were released on DVD but those versions are transfers from the early 90s and have a resolution of 360p. That's YouTube quality, and no way to properly watch Star Wars. What exists instead are watered down, objectively worse versions that undermine the original films with every single change.

Ridley Scott did it right with Blade Runner. When they put that movie out on bluray, they included FOUR different cuts of the film, including one that had previously only been seen by a couple hundred people once at a film festival. Why George refused to do the same with Star Wars is beyond me. But again, hopefully now that he's longer in charge, Disney and Fox will get together and right this wrong that has been going on for the last fifteen years.

EDIT: I thought of a good analogy. The Special Editions are like if Nintendo decided it was a good idea to paste the New Super Mario Bros graphics and music and maybe even the physics on the original Super Mario Bros and no longer offer the original in any form. Except the Special Editions are worse than that.
