    You know? That is not bad at all. Not bad at all. Why not? Why not the parallel universe version? Maybe they could use the chance to fix the dumpster fire the prequels were as well and perhaps even go along with Darth Jar-Jar.

      My (new) hope is that in the parallel universe version they didn’t do the special edition re-releases and kept in the original Mos Eisley Cantina scene.

      Remember friends, Hana shot first!

        Han shot only. Greedo never got a shot off, Han straight up ended him in cold blood.

          Lest we forget, Greedo pointed a gun at him first, Han literally defended himself from a threat of lethal force. Jabba wanted Han dead or alive, and Greedo makes it clear he’d look forward to shooting.

          It’s part of why the edit is so galling, honestly, it was already justified.

        Isn’t there a team doing an effort to “remaster” the originals and remove all the added digital garbage?

              There’s also the 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83 projects which made 4k versions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi respectively, all from original 35mm reels of the movies.

                Do you know if 4k80 is complete yet? Their website suggests it might not be

                  It might not, I haven’t been following the projects super closely. I wouldn’t know anything more than what’s posted on the site.

        “But the audiences, the opinion panels, the surveys”

        It was a Starwars movie, it was a guaranteed success at the box. The viewers can handle a little disappointment for a better story.

        I could handle a non sensical character for a long stretch if at the peak of my rage that character became a such pivotal one, with a twist so unexpected and deep applied to it, it forced me to go back and review the entire story with new eyes.
