MasterPain Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Did they change the scene in later editions? I just watched a clip where Greedo did shoot first. Was Lucas trying to make Han more heroic? Seems stupid to do so, he was meant to be a Byronic hero, at times even an antihero.

Liver Punch Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Originally, Han just blows him away. They then modified it so Greedo shot first by a large margin - and somehow completely missed at point blank range, at which point Han returns fire and kills him. The final version of it was them firing at almost the same time. (Greedo still first and still missing) He wanted Han to be more heroic or some such stupid thing...honestly, I think they wanted the bounty hunter/smuggler/mercenary to be a better role model. That, of course, makes perfect sense. Anyhow, if you want the unmolested version, you've got to watch it on Laserdisc. "A gun is a tool.

Groinstrike Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 My final straw with anything related to Mr. George "I love Ewoks" Lucas was the release of the 4th intstallment of the Indiana Jones Saga. The title shall not be named, but im suprised that Lucas didn't change the title to "Dr. Henry Ravenwood Jones's Happy Fun Time Nazi Shoot em up Hour.I literally lost faith in humanity for about two weeks after watching that garbage.Im Jim Cornette, and thats my opinion!!!!

MasterPain Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 George Lucas probably put the Indian guy up on the deal there. Kali Ma! My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liver Punch Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 99% of the world's population officially has no idea what we're talking about. Also, the 4th installment of Indiana Jones never happened. IT NEVER HAPPENED!!! "A gun is a tool.

Liver Punch Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah...it's a lost cause at this point. I consider it good "revenge" for all the kata threads that I can't even begin to understand. "A gun is a tool.

Patrick Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hello Liver Punch,Thank you for sharing this. I know you have a good sense of humor and I appreciate your honesty in that way. As you review books online and post reviews on Amazon.com, etc., definitely keep in mind that your words have a great deal of power. Definitely consider the book as a whole, good and bad and it's value relative to price. I can't speak for this book, but having authored a book that was picked up by a fairly major publisher, etc., I can tell you that it is a challenging process and that it takes a certain measure of courage to write one, to put yourself out there like that. There is a certain vulnerability to it.Just some thoughts that you may want to consider: http://www.patrickokeefe.com/2009/12/09/when-reviewing-a-book-please-know-that-your-words-are-very-powerful/Bottom line, as long as you are honest and fair - awesome. It is also important to recognize that everyone will value things differently. There is nothing to save anyone from. Some people will like the book (judging from reviews posted elsewhere) and some people won't. It doesn't necessarily make it good or bad, it just means that you didn't personally enjoy it. I think it's important to keep that context.I have emailed Mr. Jamilla to point him to this thread and invite him to join our community. I hope he does as it'd be interesting to hear his thoughts.
