  • I have the pleasure of owning the 2-disc special edition that has the Theatrical Cut. When I saw the Enhanced Edition, I assumed that Han shot Greedo first, then as Greedo died and hit the table, Lucas added the effect from Greedo's gun to miss Han by a few inches. I guess I was wrong. Oh, well. Yay 1977 edition!

  • for a multi million dollar company that edit is so shite! looks like someone did it on their computer at home

  • if you quickly press 5 repeatedly, it looks like it was 'edited' frame by frame in MS Paint. lmao

  • i love how he says mom look after han kills greedo

  • fuck it! I SHOT FIRST!!

  • See the original. Greedo never gets a shot off!.....Dilettantes

  • WAH NAY!

  • press 7 for marmaduke

  • It makes me wonder what the fuck George Lucas is going to do next to fuck star wars up even more :(

  • What about on Cloud City where Han shoot first at Vader?

    Is George is going to have to change that, too?

  • if Greedo shot first then he's the worst shot in a universe filled with stormtroopers

  • Greedo shot first

  • Greedo shot first pause at 0:09

  • greedo shot 1st

  • How inept is Greedo?

    Originally he was dumb and naive, now he added the worst shot ever to those "qualities"...

  • Pause it at 0:10 (you might need it on full screen) and you can actually see that it's a different actor for han xD

  • might i add to my earlier comment... Han also appears to fire 2 times. greedo shoot, then han and when hans blast hits he shoots another.... DIE GREEDO DIE

  • In the original han shot first and greedo never shot but in this (bluray) clip greedo actually shoots first. use the spacebar rapidly when they shoot and greedo shoots first.which makes me wonder... since greedo shot first (in the blu ray) , how the fuck did he miss? BUT since the original came first, always for eternity, HAN SHOT FIRST.

  • To me, it seems like they shot at the same time, but if you look closely, Greedo misses Han.

  • 0:09

  • fuck lucas he edited the bit where greedo shot in the original star wars he never shot

  • okay you guys over analyse this stuff you can barely notice i didnt even notice till i saw everyone crying about it on youtube its so UN noticeable

  • It's official. Greedo shot first. Straight from GL's mouth.

  • Han, shot first.

  • Rapidly tap 5 and you can even SEE the dang laser leaving Greedos blaster before Han has even fired a single shot!

  • NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU WATCH THE ORIGINAL OR THE NEW VERSIONS, GREEDO SHOT FIRST! If you WATCH the damn lasers move outta the guns, you see that Greedo fired JUST before Han fired. You literally ARE missing that fact if you claim Han shot first.

  • Holy shit, that looks so fake. Look at Han staying still for a quarter of second.

  • @pollipore You know they didn't shoot real lasers right? Nor were there laser sounds. That's all special effects done after the take.

  • He'l probably make Greedo shoot first in the next version, only for it to ricochet off he wall and hit him in the face

  • nice down jacket

  • pause at 0:10 Greedo's shot missed and recochetted already above the left shoulder of Han, while Han's will still strike Greedo's still. GREEDO SHOT FIRST!

  • Pause the video at 10 seconds. Look at the shoulder part of Greedo's vest. Then pull up a video of the scene as it was originally shown and look at the shoulder of Greedo's vest.  They are different. The Greedo shooting first in the above video clip is clearly CGI, and poorly done CGI at that!

  • The best part is when the white furry alien scratches his head at the end, as if he is thinking WTF was that all about? Lucas has way to much time on his hands. That scene was a classic, and he ruined it. Han shot first, and it was justified because Greedo was going to kill him. Nuff said.

  • Comment removed

  • how the fuck does a professional bounty hunter miss his target....sitting across the table from him? fuck you revised george lucas

  • If you watch the shot over and over again you see how terribly edited the view of Han's upper body is to show him moving over to one side. It doesn't even look like his face. and with a gun pointed steadily at someone point blank, you would never be aiming at his head. This scene doesn't even make sense in the way they edited it.

  • I saw the film in 1977 when it was released. Han shoots Greedo dead to save his ass. Like a boss. It's also stated in the script. The end. I don't care about the Special Editions and any of that crap that came after, those don't exist to me.

  • who cares,Han still killed him. doesnt loose any effect in my opinion.

  • Why do people care Greedo shot first, it was a horrible shot any way.

  • Greedo shot first. Watched it 5 times to check. His shot came out first!

  • I don't know what the big argument is about. They shot at the same time.

  • Am i the only one who likes the prequels more than the original -.- i know that graphic doesn't matter when it's a good story but if you compare them it's a huge difference and i like the story of the prequels as well.

  • @1337Figaro Then you're a fucking moron, the prequel stories were terrible.

  • @mizik9 Oh wow okay having different opinions makes me a fucking moron... Well im glad you told me,

  • @1337Figaro No, you're not alone. Probably. I liked the prequels. More than the originals? Prob not. But I did like them in and of themselves. I have decided most people loathe them simply because of the hype/it not being as nostalgic. Same reason some people still argue Morrowind is better than Skyrim: Purely for nostalgic reasons.

  • Greedo shot first

  • Lucas wasn't content with just ruining the prequels so he's going back and ruining the originals too! George should have died in the early 90s.

  • @cantstoptheseeker Aw yeah, wishing death over somebody on films that are quite insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

  • @HarunoFanatic HELL YEA!!! Btw I don't wish him death, I wished he had died 20 yrs ago. No point now, since he already ruined his legacy ; ppp

  • @cantstoptheseeker Again, wrong. George has a shirt that says Han shot First. Changing this scene, as with many other changes were akin to Editorial mandates.

  • Changing the scene is absolutely pointless! Why would he "wait" someone to shot first! There's even so little time between the shots no one could be so fast to be able to react it.

    If we think even further: In episode IV we see Han Solo trying to shoot Darth Vader in the dining room. There he didn't hesitate to pull the gun first! These things just blew my mind everytime! Why oh why!

  • @TuomioK

    Don't give Lucas the idea of Vader shooting first!

  • This is why we have DVD/VHS machine, so I can watch Han shoot first, and enjoy 70s SFX. Buy VHS at your local flea market.

  • Fuck the changes.

  • Everytime I see a video with a lot of dislikes I expect a scary face to pop up, so I make sure to turn my volume down and read the comments just to be safe...

  • MOM LOOK!!!!

  • If you keep on pressing 5 you can actually see Greedo shot first.

  • Greedo shot first. Han even moves his head a little bit to dodge it.

  • I froze it at like the perfect time. Greedo shoots first. It's exactly at 0:09

  • I slowed it down and.... DAMN IT! Greeedo STILL shoots first!

    For true fans, Han still shot first!

  • I was soooo hoping that they had restored this scene to the original where Han is still a badass and not a push-over. After all my hopes were warranted. In the 1997 re-release, Luke does the Emperor death-fall scream as he falls down in SW5 (no really, they dubbed on the actual Emperor's scream). THEN with the re-re-release, the Palpa-scream was gone.

    Too bad they didn't correct the mistake in this release. Oh well...

  • Han didn't shoot first because Greedo didn't even get a chance to shoot

  • @iamBIGBROOX thank you! I have been saying that forever. Course, Han shot first is catchier.

  • Gotta love Han's magical CGI neck

  • The Green Dude Shot First BUT MISSED He Hitted The Wall Behind Han Solo You Can See The Sparks .... Mystery sloved

  • Han shot first...

  • looks like they shot at the exact same time in this edit to me. didnt greedo shoot a split second before han in the original release?

  • @shadowsa2b The whole "Han shot first " controversy comes from the fact that in the original release Han does in fact shoot first... and it is also the only shot. Greedo doesn't get a chance to fire. All subsequent releases have featured George Lucas tampering with this scene... Greedo shooting first and "missing, Greedo and Han shooting at the same time, and this one, Greedo shooting a split second before. 

  • it was a draw they shot at exactly the same time

  • How did you get rid of the fucking awful subtitles?

  • I honestly don't really care anymore. Just as long as Lucas doesn't try to alter the Indiana Jones films, I'm happy.

  • @moviegamefan1 NO! Don't give him any more bright ideas!

  • Improved? I think YES!

  • The whole point of this scene in the original 1977 version was showing that Han was not stupid enough to wait to be shot at first! He did what he did to survive, he was proactive and did the smartest thing he could. Lucas, get a clue and thanks for ruining the franchise with those cartoons you called prequels!

  • @doug625ut Its die hard fans like you that made him quit starwars, the "catoons" wernt half as bad as all the geeks think they are, yh they are pretty damn bad but it just show how people don't appreciate what George lucas dose.I mean people made a greedo shoots frist

  • @doug625ut Greedo shot first.

  • @doug625ut much better then the 1st revamp where he pulls a Son Goku and dodges the lazer, but still the original was better it made him more befitting to his role, he is a space pirate, scoundrel, how does 1 survive as that type of person, BOOM HEAD SHOT!

  • @doug625ut true, but it was changed in the SE because there were those who complained that 'the hero NEVER shoots first.' So, I get both sides, but I do have to side with the Han shoots first side of things. I have to show a level of irritation, however, that there are a lot of people who say this 1 little scene ruins the entire original trilogy. Frankly, I don't care one way or the other. My only real problem with Greedo shooting first is Han's lame digital head-jerk thing.

  • @doug625ut Exactly! Lucas said that he didn't want Han to seem so ruthless by shooting first. But the dialogue pretty much makes it a case for self defense.

    HAN : Over my dead body

    GREEDO : That's exactly the idea, I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

    Hmm..sounds like a death-threat to me. And, given that Greedo had a blaster pointed at him, it was well with in his right to fire first. In the REAL version of Star Wars, Han shot first, Greedo never fired!!

  • @doug625ut

    The whole point of the original scene was exactly the same as it is now. Only now it's been clarified that Greedo shot first.

  • @justanotheraccount lol clarified Greedo shot first?? he never shoots at all in the original! Some fool can edit it and give Greedo tits, does that "clarify" that greedo is a chic? Changing the scene simply takes away what was a smart choice by Han to stay alive....now it appears he had to wait to shoot back after luckily being missed! It changes the whole scene entirely! And no, the change does not ruin the movie for me, I just wanna see the it in original form!

  • @doug625ut

    George Lucas said it himself a few days ago, google is your friend.

  • @doug625ut Sorry but no. During the filming of the behind the scenes of Crystal skull, Lucas was wearing a shirt proudly displaying "Han shot first." Obviously, Han acting in self defense was the movie equivalent of an editorial mandate.

  • @doug625ut waaaah, he ruined his own creation and we're allowed to get mad? how arrogant.

  • @doug625ut Not only that but it makes his transformation from rogue to hero a meaningful transition. It shows character development. Han being good from the start just cheapens the character.

  • greed shot first! but misses, it travels past han by the time greedo dies!

  • WTF!? 1st greedo shoots before han, now they shoot at the same time! HEY LUCAS, MAKE UP YOUR F-ING MIND!!!!!

  • Greedo shot first but missed

  • keep pressing 5

  • @Rolandx88x keep pressing 6

  • @Rolandx88x No, keep pressing 6.

  • @Rolandx88x a bitch you have

  • this is awful, I want my vhs videos back...

  • i hit pause and play at least 20 times and greedo shot first

  • Yup. Han Solo can move ever so gracefully at only 671 million MPH, in order to avoid a laser beam... pity they didn't take time and talent to more gracefully (and realistically) frame the scene... it still looks like a bad hack job by some college student.

  • GREEDO SHOT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • I used to argue with aliens, then I took a Blaster ray to the knee.

  • WHO HONESTLY SHOT FIRST?

  • @thebayareapimp Originally, there was only one shot. This was not a duel. There was not some count to 3 and then draw. Han caught Greedo off guard, shot him under the table and fried him.

    I still wonder why they had to add/change the scene. Now it looks like a hack job.

  • Greedo was a bounty hunter?!?! How could a bounty hunter miss at two feet! I could shoot better than that with a water pistol.

  • @charles52able1 Are u sure?!!!! How could a bounty hunter miss at SIX feet? I could shoot better with a NERF gun and a water pistol.

  • swag.

  • where was greedo aiming

  • now they all shoot at the same time wtf!

  • at 0:09 you clearly see that Greedo's shot was already ricocheting of the wall when Han's blaster is just having fired

  • Greedo had the first shot which missed

  • Han Shot First - Minecraft

  • Yeah, the "dodging" still looks rather badly done(could use a few more frames) but I think I finally got over it by watching Han "dodge" a couple dozen times in a row.

  • Greedo shot first but missed.

  • Han Shot last

  • GREEDO SHOT FIRST, go to 0:09 and quicly click play and then pause again you'll see fucking greedo wins, well of course not because his aim is like a bantha's anus one.

  • u people make too big a deal out of this change. whats the fucking difference. han kills greedo, does it matter if was for defense or to attack?

  • what the hell gt..I mean george lucas

  • MORE EPIC

  • WAAA NAAAY

  • press 5 repeatedly for the horror

  • @tokando69 Fuck me he says Gaga

  • greedo shot first. you can see the shot ricochet off the metal trim next to han's hand right when the shot leaves han's gun

  • @ultraepicman This isn't the Theatrical cut, in the theatrical cut, Han shot first.

  • We also learn that apparently it is not just lightsabers that deflect blaster shots, apparently the metallic molding is just as effective.

  • han shot first. the end

  • Han. Shot. First.

  • I actually preferred the DVD version. Built a bit more tension.

  • I would have aimed for his chair too...No one really wants to kill Han...he's just that awesome.

  • everyone else notice he didnt really need to dodge?

  • if u tap 5 very fast u see that greedo CLEARLY shot first

  • Greedo clearly shot first. . . .in this version but in the original it was han.

  • GREEDO SHOT FIRST!

  • pause at 0:9 greedo shot first

  • @CrackStuntMan7 Yeah, in this shitty version, not in the original version.

  • same time shot

  • Does anyone else think its not only wrong to change it, but that it makes no sense for Greedo to shoot first? Han is worth more to him alive.

  • omg greedo looks like an abomination

  • keep pressing '5'

  • Is there a difference? I don't see anything but more smoke.

  • Comment removed

  • @matrixfan127 Yes, I know that. I know he worked hard, had a lot of great ideas and had to overcome a lot of adversity. But when you look at what he did with the Prequels and what he's doing to the Originals now, you can't help but think that to George, the success of the Original Trilogy is a once in a lifetime event. He cannot duplicate that success, he cannot even do something decent with this material anymore. His actions today are not the mark of a good filmmaker.

  • @Lorinion Many filmmakers in the past 10-15 years have utilized CGI as an end unto itself. However, back in the days before CGI, effects were limited and filmmakers focused on character and story. That is what made star wars and superman and other fantasy movies exciting-the combination. Since the movie market is driven by ticket sales and CGI effects bring in the money, character and story have become secondary to fantastic effects.

    David Fincher uses CGI Nicely-check out Zodiac as an example

  • @uchiha060 actually no that was W.Wald another Rodian, Greedo was actually a bully to Anakin and almost got into a fight with him W.Wald even warned Greedo about his violent antics

  • Actually it was Bobba Fett, from the grassy knoll outside the cantina. And Han didn't kill him, it was actually a blaster shot from Jack Ruby, who was on the hologram repository building to clear loose ends.

  • This COMPLETELY undermines Han Solo's character. He's a scoundrel, Han shots first because he's a sleazebag who doesn't want to die.

    Stupid move Lucas.. stupid move.

  • Someone tell me wtf is going on here. What is the fighting about?

  • @TheMasterDiasaster It basically boils down to "fucking nerds..."

    And I say that as a big fucking nerd, myself.

  • dorkly

  • I wouldnt be suprised if Lucas changed the scene so that instead of Greedo shooting first they had a whole fucking gunfight scene

  • Lucas once wore a hans shot first shirt...

  • @BlackfireVenus

    He makes money of people buying that shirt.

  • @BlackfireVenus Which was a big middle finger to the fans.

  • @BlackfireVenus ...ya aint that fucked up!? what a way to spit in the faces of all his fans that prefer the Original Trilogy...

  • @BlackfireVenus han* 

  • look closely at 0:09. Han's neck grows a whole six inches so he can dodge the shot...

  • press 5 for bullshit

  • Han Shot First

  • Disregarding the change to Han's character, it's also simply awkward to see the same angle twice so quickly, especially when they look little alike.

  • tanta marisquera que greedo dispara de primero o que han dispara primero vea la pelicula y sean feliz que goerge lucas no va cambiar su vision y todo queda al olvido

  • George, still, NO.

  • Greedo was a beaner.

  • Lucas is an artist who can't put the brush down. Instead of moving on he keeps picking at the same painting over and over until what original work existed is buried under layers of digital crap.

  • Han didn't shoot first, HAN WAS THE ONLY ONE TO SHOOT!!! Greedo was about to shoot but didn't. Han pre-emptively killed him. That's what made him a bad-ass rogue.

    That's why I hate the Darth Vader change too... His silent redemption and sacrifice to save his son, is much better than crying like a little pussy for 10 seconds, noooo, NOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • was better when han just blasted the shit out of greedo; gone are the days

  • So now it's gone from Han shot first, to Greedo shot first, to Han and Greedo shooting at the same time. Fucking George Lucas.

  • in the first release Han was the only one (perceptibly) who shot. Later editions show that Greedo shot first but by such a small margin it would be impossible for Han to react to and so Han, even in later editions, would have begun to pull the trigger even before Greedo had fired and so had full intentions of shooting first and would have shot Greedo even if he thought Greedo wouldn't have fired. That said the situation clearly defines Solo actinig in self defense and under duress.

  • FUCKING HAN "STILL" SHOT FIRST PEOPLE!! :( GO BACK TO THE 70s and LOOK!! :( IDIOTS!

  • @aserna32 Han was the ONLY one that shot.

  • @aserna32 Dumbass........Han was the only one that shot.

  • @SamusVSMC Yes thats right. . :o In the "very" first release Han was the "only" one who shot! (by the way. . im not a dumbass, im actualy a smartass!)
