(...) With any luck, Lucas will refrain from any more Special Edition chop jobs... The soundtrack from TESB, and the suddenly moralized Greedo blaster shot scene, still make me cringe. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Worse than that, it cheapens the redemption/evolution his character undergoes. That, and the afterthought Greedo shot just looks awful. Dave! (25 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yes, in the Special Edition version, George Lucas screwed this scene up badly. Lucas replaced the scene of Han blasting Greedo with a badly shot, bad looking scene where Greedo shoots first. You can tell that the actor playing Greedo didn't (...) (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)

To reiterate an earlier point, the greater problem is that Han's evolution as a character is watered-down, so that he's no longer a self-serving rogue finding redemption through a cause--he's an okay guy who remains an okay (...)
