In the Mos Eisley cantina, Greedo corners Solo and forces him at gunpoint to sit down in a booth. Solo tells Greedo that he has the money to compensate Jabba, but Greedo demands the money for himself. Solo says he doesn't have the money at the moment, quietly readying his own blaster under the table. Greedo tells him that Jabba has run out of patience with Solo and that Greedo has been "waiting for a long time for this", referring to Solo's capture. Solo replies, "Yes, I'll bet you have." The scene's conclusion varies depending on the version of the film. History[edit]In the original 1.

Greedo's face, followed quickly by a cloud of smoke and the sound effect of a blaster firing. This is followed by a reverse angle of Greedo from behind, slumping over the table. In 2. 01. 2, director George Lucas expressed his dissatisfaction with this climax, believing that it depicts Solo, the film's supporting protagonist, as a "cold- blooded killer".[1] Greedo had pointed a gun at Solo and bragged that he had been "looking forward" to seeing Solo's "dead body", constituting a direct threat on Solo's life that at least one legal expert believes would clearly warrant preemptive action on Solo's part in self- defense.[2]In the 1. Greedo shoots first at Solo and misses, and then Solo returns fire, killing Greedo.[3][4]For the film's 2. DVD release, the scene was altered again, with new timing so that the shots are fired at nearly the same time and so that Solo dodges Greedo's shot. In an article titled "The Star Wars George Lucas Doesn't Want You To See", The Atlantic summarized that "[i]n the original versions .. Han Solo pulled out his gun and shot the bounty hunter Greedo.

In the 1. 99. 7 version, Greedo shoots first. Watch Save Your Legs! Online Forbes. In the 2. 00. 4 version, they shoot at the same time."[5]For the 2.

Blu- ray release, the scene of Solo and Greedo firing at each other was shortened by several frames.[6]Controversy[edit]This alteration is disagreeable to some longtime fans of the series, provoking some to create an online petition demanding that the changes be retracted.[7] The primary objection to the revision is that it alters Han's initially morally ambiguous character, making his later transition from anti- hero to hero less meaningful.[8] Film students have labored for years to issue their own entire custom- edited re- releases of the Star Wars films in an effort to redact Lucas's changes, especially this scene with Solo and Greedo.[5][9]In a 2. Lucas explained, "to me, [the original movie] doesn’t really exist anymore. I'm sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be."[1. In a 2. 01. 2 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lucas stated that a combination of poor- quality close- up shots and the audience's inaccurate perception of the Han Solo character was what actually caused all the confusion. Lucas explained: 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.[1]Regardless of this claim from Lucas, one draft of the original film's script makes no mention of Greedo shooting at all—only Solo.[1. In 2. 01. 5, what appears to be an early script was discovered in the archives of the University of New Brunswick library by Kristian Brown. The script, dated March 1. Brown says it confirms "1. Han shot first."[1. Prior to Lucas's long history of retroactive edits of Star Wars films and withholding the originals even for archival purposes, he had in 1. Congress against that very process even on a purely cosmetic basis.

At that time, Lucas originally argued that the public has a right to retain classic cinematic originals as a matter of cultural heritage, saying that "people who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians".[5]In a 2. Reddit interview with fans, when asked who shot first, actor Harrison Ford's reply was simply, "I don't know and I don't care."[1. However, Paul Blake, who played Greedo, said in a 2. New York Daily News,Of course, in it said it all in the original script, we played in the scene in English and at the end of the scene, it reads, 'Han shoots the alien.' It's all it says and that's what happened. It was very painful.[1. Blake also indicated that Greedo shooting first made the character appear inept (in that he would have missed Solo from very short range), and that "it does give Greedo a little more glory if he's just blown away."[1.

In a 2. 01. 5 interview for The Washington Post Lucas gave his reason for changing the scene: “Han Solo was going to marry (Princess) Leia, and you look back and say, ‘Should he be a cold- blooded killer?’ ” Lucas asks. Because I was thinking mythologically — should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne? And I said, ‘Yeah, he should be John Wayne.’ And when you’re John Wayne, you don’t shoot people [first] — you let them have the first shot.

It’s a mythological reality that we hope our society pays attention to.”[1. References[edit]^ ab.
