In Episode IV, the small firefight with Han and Greedo was a bit messed up. Greedo was supposed to shoot first, and Han shoot back, frying him. However, Han shot first. They fixed this in later editions of course.

Post by: ChronoReverse on March 24, 2004, 08:20:40 pm: He means that if you read it right, Han Solo shoots first in the original.

Post by: Ulala on March 24, 2004, 08:56:35 pm: [agitated voice]No, no no no NO! [/agitated voice] I think you guys got it all messed up. In the original editions (not special editions) Han shot Greedo first, because Han isn't exactly super smooth around the edges. However, George Lucas decided that it made Han more into a bad guy instead of a hero, and so in the Special Edition, he had Greedo shoot first, and Han amazingly escapes his laser bolt with the help of computer character splicing to save hero from point blank range laser pistols. Han, obviously to defend himself, shoots back and kills Greedo. Way to go Lucas! Han became a fruit who doesn't know when to shoot first, and you upped his evade by +19! w00t...

Post by: IceFire on March 24, 2004, 10:13:15 pm: Yes! Yes and YES! (for all three episodes :D)

This will be great...I don't have any of the special edition (ie the redone sound & visuals) so this should be great!

Post by: Grey Wolf on March 24, 2004, 10:40:49 pm: I'll probably get the set, but mainly fore Episode IV. Really hated the redone Episode VI. Stupid overly long singing scene.

Post by: neo_hermes on March 24, 2004, 11:04:38 pm: I rather like Epsiode VI just cause of the dying little Teddy bears.

The horrible singing by that annoying alien that was added in the special edition really annoys me. Don't know what George Lucas was thinking when he wrote that in.

Post by: Knight Templar on March 25, 2004, 11:41:00 pm: That's one little part though, and hardly that bad, even if you don't like it.
Title: The original Trilogy on DVD
Post by: Dark_4ce on March 26, 2004, 04:09:51 am: I quite like the special Editions. Except for two small things. Greedo Shooting first was a bad idea and changing the Yub Nub song in the end of ROTJ to a happy mexican music thing really didnt do it for me. I wanted to hear the little buggers sing manically!

Ah.... I knew that bit looked odd in the Spec. Ed.

On another note, I didn't know they changed that Han's shot first thing... Kinda sad he changed it now.
