It seems we can finally settle down and just accept it… Han didn’t shoot officially.
Because the version of the original Star Wars trilogy that was released last is not the final version of the original movies.
So everyone just simmer down.
Speaking to Omny FM, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy was asked if Disney would be tweaking the original trilogy any further than they were down under George Lucas and her answer was pretty final: “I wouldn’t touch those, are you kidding me?,” she said, “Those will always remain his.”
His, of course being George Lucas.
So it looks like all the rumours of Disney releasing the original theatrical cuts of the movies or further specialised versions are all nonsense.
However, does her comment mean Lucas himself can release them as he chooses in the future? We doubt he’d even mess with them now if he wanted to.
Bottom line reading this? It means that the Ewok number will always be different, Greedo will forever shoot first and Cloud City will remain massive…
I know I seem to be the only person in the world who loved the Special Editions (well, minus the Greedo scene) but I’m ok with this.
Are you?
