I hate explaining jokes.

Has anyone ever confronted Lucas about this issue?

I think there's a petition to put the ORIGINAL Star Wars trilogy (not the SE) on DVD.Alyeska wrote:Has anyone ever confronted Lucas about this issue?
Is it just me, or does "The Wong Cut" sound like the title of a bad Shaw Brothers movie?Illuminatus Primus wrote:I can see if on shelves now...Star Wars, The Wong Cut (tm).

I'd buy it, but I really wouldn't trust it. I mean, who knows what else Mike put on there other than Han shooting first, the way it was meant to be?Illuminatus Primus wrote:I can see if on shelves now...Star Wars, The Wong Cut (tm).Darth Wong wrote:When I made my DVD version of ANH from my SE laserdiscs, I edited the movie so that Han shoots first
And, I'd like to know why they decided to make Greedo shoot first.

Nothing else.
As for the Greedo bit...maybe he got the Spielberg curse...maybe it was too violent to have Han shot without absolute provocation

I'd buy it too... Wong, I'd encourage you to start a new business with this, if it weren't illegal. ; p
Though there is a "Phantom Edit" floating around out there, and I swore I saw a "Phantom Menace: People's Edition" once... once...
Anyway, George Lucas will eventually buckle on the issue and announce he's re-editing the scene. The fans will rejoice! Then when the Super Special Archival Collector's Limited Edition Box Set DVD is released, we'll see that in fact Han only STUNS Greedo, and then feels sorry for him and pays for his dinner & drinks (by editing the line when he tosses money to the bartender as he leaves).

"People's edition"? What's that, where the heroes whine about capitalism even more than before? Where the Gungans overthrow their bourgeis Naboo overlords? Where the Nemoidians laugh evily about opressing the masses?Kurgan wrote:I'd buy it too... Wong, I'd encourage you to start a new business with this, if it weren't illegal. ; p
