  • This version is so much better. The other one is painful to watch. With the CGI head move dodging a LASER, .. smh

  • I'm altering the film,pray i don't alter it any further.

    -George Lucas

  • If you listen to the sound, you can hear two shots happening very close to each other. This is not something to freak out about. These are his movies, his stories, he can make them what he wants. I will forever think they are awesome.

  • George Lucas created his movies, he can make them what he wants. 

  • I hate how George Lucas tries to rationalise that Han 'would never kill someone in cold blood' -- Han Solo is a SMUGGLER. Smugglers by trade are thieving liars, only out for wealth and themselves. Han initially didn't even care about Luke or Leia in Episode IV, just the prospect of a significant payday.

    I hate the recut scene where Greedo fires a shot. It's a joke from a filmography/editing standpoint, and makes Lucas look like a tool.

  • Ah 240p, we meet again.

  • I like the special edition

    ....

    you have been troll baited XD

  • "The first time you point a blaster at me will be your last" Han Solo, 1977. Think about it... today if you aim a weapon at some one when police are on the scene you would be taken down without prejudice. Han did the right thing and shot first! :-)

  • I haven't seen this version where he shoots first since I was a kid. Thank you for uploading this. Now I'm stuck remembering the Version where greedo shoots first.

  • Why the hell wouldn't anyone defend the Greedo shoots first? This introduced Han Solo, this is the scene that shows you he's a badass. He's not a Super "good" or "bad" guy. He's a regular person, and that's why I like him. Han shot first.

  • in this version greedo didn't shoot period

  • It was not my intention, when I uploaded the video, to start a comments war.

    This is the Star Wars I saw as a child. This is the scene on the 2008 Theatrical Release DVD, unedited and unaltered.

    I just wanted to share this bit of excelent characterization.

    Because Solo was that kind of person, and it made him all that much more awesome for it.

  • Dear Mr. Lucas,

    If greedo did shoot first, you or one of your production team members would've put that in the script 34 years ago! I know you were trying to make things less confusing, but lets face it: HAN SHOT FIRST! He You know it because you and your production team put that scene in the first place and we fans know he shot first because we all saw it happen! If you want more evidence, watch this clip! Thankyou

    btw, Thanks for uploading the vid pal

  • I watched it 6 times, and it to me it doesnt just look like Greedo shot second, it looks like he didn't shoot period. I just see a blast and it seems Han just slew this dude. I'm not under the impression that Greedo shot at all.

  • If you think about the conversation, greedo really had no reason to shoot when he did in the updated version. Han on the other hand, was cornered, which gave him plenty reason to shoot

  • lol watch this with subtitles! (thumb up so everyone can see)

  • can I just ask this

    ..why the fuck does lucas even care? I mean, seriously?

    Who wouldn't have shot in that situation, I sure as fuck would have

    and it's not like Han was ever supposed to he a moral crusader, he only agrees to help Luke in the first place because he was being vastly over-payed and couldn't turn it down.

  • Han shot first!

  • 1. They show Han pull out his gun which implies he was going to shoot Greedo anyway

    2. Greedo couldn't miss from point blank range

    3. Lucas altering it to have them shoot at almost the same time makes it even more pointless

    4. If his current statement of Greedo always shot first was true he should have admitted that 15 years ago when this began. Also there's too much evidence to prove him wrong. The original script, the original comic, the original novel, and THE ORIGINAL SCENE ITSELF!!!!!!!!!

  • geedo shot first dumbass, George Lucas stated it

  • @sharkkingx Just because he stated it doesn't mean it's true - ever heard of a history revision? In hindsight he wanted to make Han look like a good guy, but this scene shows him in a (really) bad light - he shot the guy point blank before the other guy could shoot him.

    George Lucas can say whatever he wants and re-edit the scene however many times he feels necessary. As a sell-out and a hack, in the end, it's meaningless.

  • Comment removed

  • PUTA PUTA, SOLO?

  • he was a kid in episode one friends with anakin xD

  • @EnragedEggRoll Yes because Rodians don't look similar at all.

  • @felixthebat he called the him Greedo in episode 1

  • @EnragedEggRoll The Rodian child is and has always been named Wald.

  • @felixthebat ummm no he was called Greedo on the original DvD release atleast

  • @GarlandFraser sorry Wald is credited as the name of the character played by Warwick Davis not Greedo. Two different characters.

  • @cannonballkid the little friend of young Skywalker in Phantom Menace? Warwick Davis did not play him.

  • @GarlandFraser check the credits Wald was played by him.

  • "Who is the greater fool? The fool or those who follow him?" -Obi Wan Kenobi

  • This is so much better than the dumbass version when the experienced bounty hunter Greedo miss from 2 steps distance.

  • @NextG666

    exactly

  • @NextG666 Well techincally he didn't miss. Han dodged it lmao. Of course Greedo was dumb enough to aim for the head when he should've aimed at the body first lol

  • Fuck Rick McCallum and his Hollywood coke nose

  • "Going somewhere Solo?"

    "No, actually. I was taking the Wookiee with me."

  • i didn't see shit besides sparks and smoke

  • @LudusVan There's only one blaster noise, and there's no mark or evidence of any kind next to Han's head. I think it can be assumed that Greedo never fired.

  • Han was Cold Blooded. He was cool.

  • George Lucas & Rick Mcallum Disliked this so much that George is now officially denying Han ever shot first...

  • George Lucas and George Lucas's ego disliked this.

  • i have the original star wars book and on page 104 its pretty obvious han solo shot first, greedo didn't even shoot

  • I'm confused. In the original release, did Greedo not have any subtitles at all?

  • soon C3P0 will be taken out because its offensive to gays

  • I still have the original VHS... i will review when i get home... 

  • clearly it looks like Han shot first, but according to news yesterday Greedo always shot first. Yes, ladies and gentlemen we were all wrong, Greedo always shot first according to Lucas. The SE just made it less confusing and clearer. We sick human beings just wanted to believe Han shot Greedo down in cold blood. We should all be ashamed.

  • Greedo never fucking fired a shot dumbass! His shot was added in to the later versions becouse they wanted Han to be good guy. If you dont believe me look at hans head, it was digitally rendered to dodge Greedos shot. Lucas is wrong.

  • Lucas is either delusional or sadistic. Either way, a dickhead.

  • Comment removed

  • George Lucas dislikes this

  • @volksboy62 And Greedo & Jaba :P

  • In order for greedo to have shot first, it seems like he would have had to have shot at all...

  • @JoshSHaps. The one dislike is clearly George Lucas. Greedo died because he didn't shoot first.

  • I have a copy of the Star Wars novelization written by George Lucas and that book is pretty clear that Han sneakily shot Greedo from under the table rather than be taken. Thats just how it was in the original movie. If Lucas wants us to believe that was never his intention, I have the book he himself wrote that says otherwise. Greedo was there to capture Solo for the bounty; he was a bounty hunter, not an assassin. Greedo never shot at all and thats why he died. The End.

  • @Wyrmwould I just found that same book in my basement yesterday and scanned the pages and posted on facebook. It's so obvious in the novel that Greedo wanted to take it outside. He tells Solo to get up, and then Solo blasts him into a "smoking slimy spot on the stone floor."

  • There is one dislike.

    This is probably Greedo.

  • George Lucas should do what he wants to his movies. The sad part is he doesn't like the edit where greedo shoots first. Lots of people wanted him to change it so their kids wouldn't think of him as a cold blooded killer. George Lucas wanted han to shoot first to show how far the charecter develops into a good guy.

  • @iamamazing822 So in that case, he's a sell-out.

  • Greedo no likee

  • MAMA LOO !!!

  • It doesn't really matter to me who shot first because Han looks awesome either way. But in defense of Greedo shooting, at least you can see Han pull out his blaster.

  • I don't know why Han even had to move his head in the edited version, Greedos aim was so horrendous.

  • its sad that i havent seen this version since i was 8. im 22 now. can we please get the originals on dvd or bluray? and for longer than a month? jesus christ man.

  • @MrBurgundy76 i know ; ; im 22 also i feel the same.....

  • George Lucas disliked this vid.

  • Maybe Greedo just spontaneously combusted.... No. Han smoked his ass.

  • Everybody knows Han shot first.....and again when he saw vader

  • I was wondering where this saying came from. But seriously get a life, it's nothing worth caring about.

  • Greedo Shot First! I mean, come on, it even shows it. Like, Han moved his head to dodge the bullet and then shot. Seriously, what's up with saying Han shot first? It shows it right there IN THE MOVIE!

  • @luis6079 You serious, bro? Read the video description. In the original release of the movie, Han Solo straight up murdered Greedo in cold blood. George Lucas changed it in 1994 for all the little children such as yourself.

  • @freighter014 LOL!! Who the fuck says "bro" anymore!?

  • @luis6079 Everyone does, bro. Everyone.

  • @freighter014 Everyone can spot a troll, bro. Everyone.

  • @TheSalukAntiwii You have to remember this is youtube.

  • Can anyone tell me where I can get a "Non F'ed up version" of Star Wars on DVD, before Lucas got stupid and vandalized his own master piece by adding crap, like Greedo shooting first...and missing from three feet, needless saturn ring like blast waves form the death star and such.

  • @lastchip Lucasarts released the non-remastered cuts on DVD a while back. They were released in a limited 2 pack DVD that included the remastered version as well.

  • @MrEniena Yeah, I have that set. I hadn't seen the originals unaltered since I was a kid until I ordered them from Amazon last year. I really like being able to compare the 2 versions side by side. Some of the added CGI in the Special Editions actually adds to the story (like in the Death Star trench run). Some of it takes away, like all the extra crap in Mos Eisley. Either way, this scene is MUCH better in its unaltered form, as seen here.

  • Anybody that cares who shot first is dumb imo. I really doesn't matter either way.

  • *Comment Altered By Lucas*

  • Greedo is Ze Bostola.

  • I used to think this was the worst edit ever done to the Star Wars films or any film in general, until Vader said No in Jedi.

  • Fuccck u george lucas, why the fuck did u have to modify an already-perfect movie u faggot. u fucking ruined the series.

  • @Kirochi80 It's his fucking movie? He can alter however he wants to. Jeez, it's his story. We're just the audience.

  • @missmetal47 it's already a perfect movie. there's nothing left to modify. changing Star Wars is like changing history

  • @Kirochi80 I swear your stupid hatred of lucas has proven to me you guys are no star wars fans haha.

  • @andross51 and you're a faggot. end of fucking story.

  • @Kirochi80 lol got any other comebacks, I don't mind the changes that much, HELL i perfer the SE's over the originals, yes i have watched both versions (except hayden at end of ROTJ), but god you idiots BITCH over scenes you guys are fuckin nuts about that lucas changed SO WHATXD! Lucas can do whatever HE wants to his films. Regardless.

  • Forget heroics, shooting first when a guy is pointing a gun at you is just smart. If Greedo had shot first and been a good aim, then...well, its pretty hard to look heroic with a hole in your head.

  • George Lucas is making it seem like shooting a criminal in self-defense is a bad thing.

  • Yea fuck Chuck Norris!!! It's not like he's gona come to my house, get in my room and kill me by bashing my head on the keyboarasdfgjhuMJ Gmjg uMky,jyumgjygmun uyjnhb iygh8o6rnkyug TNOBNUJYIUIULIU 7tibyugyhfhvngbkNBHFYGUJJNRKuh­ignjfkruuuHKUHuhiugjghyghbvmfg­fyKfouhfiuhgfgIGFJHIUHfu

  • Han is a scoundrel, he will shoot first

  • Watching over this again, I just realized the style and pacing is a little too hard-core for what Lucas had in mind over the prequel trilogy. It's a shame, he had to cater to children with lightsaber nerds and Jar Jar.

  • us star wars fans are upset because in the remastered version, greedo shots first, misses and han finnishes him off. it makes han look less badass!

  • Good things Lucas changed: Ian McDiarmid in episode V

    Wampa eating

    Restoring the Jabba scene in IV

    Writing Jedi Rocks

    Bad things: Greedo shoots first

    Hayden Christiansen in VI

    Wampa roaring after Luke chops off its arm.

    COMPLETELY REPLACING original Jabba song

  • Wait, how is there even a debate? There was only one shot and clearly it wasn't Greedo.

  • @ItsBaconPower If you watch the 1997 Special Edition and every edition that has been released since, both of them fire and Greedo somehow misses. Mainly because he was never actually supposed to have fired a shot in the first place.

  • I'm 16 and I grew up watching the original VHSs. Han shot first.

  • I've got a few questions about this "Han shot first no Greedo shot first" debate. Why WOULDN'T Han shoot first? Whether it's canon that he did or not, why would it matter if he had? Also, why do people anywhere, even rabid Star Wars fans care at all about (or even remember for that matter) a scene that only takes up an insigificant 1 minute of decades of Star Wars lore?

  • @immortalfrieza Because it helps set the tone of Han- if he shoots first he's a cool-headed action hero, if Greedo shoots first then Han's a chump who got lucky that Greedo missed him at point-blank range.

    Plus some people don't like it when scenes are rewritten. I would never buy a redone copy of ET because Spielberg removed guns 'for the children' and I won't buy a copy that makes Han look like a lucky chump rather than a smart guy. I want the film I saw as a kid.

  • Chuck Norris wishes he was Han Solo

  • @2349DF Word

  • Han. Shot. First.

  • Well, technically, Greedo never fired a shot...

  • Unfortunately this edition is no longer canon. As the owner of the story, George Lucas, has mended the scene to show Greedo shooting first. This footage therefore has become mere fan fiction.

  • @probababably Star Wars is much bigger than George Lucas. If he wants to say he owns it, he can go fuck himself. He didn't make those movies by himself.

  • Who thinks we should go back in time to 1983 and assassinate George Lucas to stop him from ruining the original trilogy and making the prequels?

  • Guns pulled against me? CHECK Threats against my ship? CHECK Threats against my life? CHECK LEGAL GROUND TO SHOOT someone without warning CHECK times 1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @BliXxMorGrahZz I wouldn't say "legal" grounds to shoot someone, but who gives a damn? His life was being threatened. So I would say its moral grounds for Han to shoot Greedo.

    This was a character defining moment, and George Lucas ruined it!

  • @BliXxMorGrahZz i hate to tell you if you pull a gun on me and threaten my life. YOU DIE!!!!!!!!!!! forget legal. if you draw don't talk shit!!!!!!!!!!!!! shoot me and u win

  • Lest we forget

  • Glad the uploader isn't a bitch who disable comments like the other one

  • I like this scene more than the 1997 edition. Very good video!

    Esta escena me gusta más que la de la edición de 1997. ¡Es muy buen vídeo!

  • The way it was supposed to be. Nice.
