You don’t need to watch the original scene. This isn’t the film footage you’re looking for. We can go about our business. Move along.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> last week<\/a>, George Lucas had this to say about the infamous “Greedo Shot First” change he made to ‘Star Wars’:<\/p>\n

The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, you read that right. George Lucas now claims that Han Solo never shot Greedo first<\/em>, even in the original version of the movie. Greedo always<\/em> shot at Han first. We just couldn’t see it clearly because of bad editing. <\/p>\n

Huh.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, here’s how the scene played back as it was released in 1977:<\/p>\n
