Thank you for your wonderfully heartfelt messages regarding mental health, self-worth, and growth mindset. I really appreciate you being such a stand-up person, using your platform to support others. You are a good guy.
For the fecking sake of all that is holy in The Force, it needs to be Han Solo who shot first. It further elevated his character arc, from ruthless criminal rogue to hero of the universe.
Not to mention how would you bloody miss from that close if han didnt shoot first. Even a stormtrooper could hit a target that's arms length infront of them
I hate the 'special editions' of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, for the simple reason that Lucas didn't direct those movies. Any changes he makes to those movies are him arrogantly fiddling with someone else's vision...
and that is how a smuggler with a bounty on his head stays alive. just like in the wild west, the fastest draw lives to be a hero and the slow villains get planted in boot hill.
Anyone who says Han shooting first is cold blooded murder or whatever is a really bad take.. even George. Anyone who knows anything about Star Wars knows bounty hunters aren’t particularly picky about bringing people in alive or dead. Greedo was pointing a gun at him and if Han just let himself be captured.. he was going to end up dead one way or another. Han shooting first is correct and it’s only self defense.
It was what a character like Han Solo would've done, faced with a blaster pointed at him, so it never bothered me. Also, it's starts writers like to call a "redemption arc", as Han grows from self-centered smugger to Resistance hero.
The Empire Strikes Back special edition was easy to take. Not much changed, and the addition to windows on Cloud City was actually a smart, logical move. Plus, no musical numbers!
Yeah but the special edition also showed the sexual intercourse scene between Princess Leia and Jabba The Hut. I mean we all knew it was happening since he did kidnap her and had her dressed pretty provocative but they never actually showed them doing it until the special edition. It was pretty disturbing to see but what made it REALLY bad was how half way through she starts enjoying it and instead of it just being sexual intercourse they end up making love. Whatever I guess.
My thing about "Han Shot First", is that no matter when he shot (he shot first tho), it doesn't actually affect his character. If he fired after Greedo, it's still too quick after for it to be in response to Greedo's shot, therefore he was already planning on shooting Greedo. If he fired at the same time or before, then obviously he was already planning it. Either way, he's still a scoundrel who was gonna murder Greedo rather than get taken in.
as someone who hasent watched much star wars (more of a fan of the universe and lore than of the movies) if Greedo was taking Han in, then why the hell would he try to shoot him? if ya ask me that makes him a piss poor bounty hunter....which he still is....cause hes dead
In the untouched original, Greedo never shot at all. His orders from Jabba was to bring him in alive. Han wasn't willing to go, so killed him in cold blood.
@@56postoffice exactly!! putting Han aside, a bounty hunter usually doesnt get paid if the bounty is dead. So making Greedo try and shoot Han just makes it seem like he didnt know what the hell he was doing
Han was being held at gunpoint, if he didn't shoot first he'd be an idiot. The fact is that Lucas can't comprehend the idea of killing a man as justified unless it's war, and even then he's ambiguous about his position if any of his movies can be taken seriously. He didn't want to do the shooting scene in Indy either, Ford had to talk him into it.
Having Greedo shoot first kills some of Han's character arc. Like he was willing to shoot first to save himself but by the end is willing to risk his life to help his friends.
Han Shot First - many times, actually. Just pay attention and watch him shoot stuff. Incidentally, Ford was constantly high on the set and kept demanding that his character die at the end of the movie as a great sacrifice. He finally got his wish in Episode VII.
And yet George couldn't be bothered to fix an *actual mistake* - Vader's lightsaber showing as a stick prop with no blade, as he's walking towards the door after striking down Obi Wan, until the DVD release.
The production of Some Kind of Wonderful was a disaster from the beginning. So many things went wrong during the production, and when I read the reaction of Maddie Corman's mother's passing during the production in Hughs' teen movie biography book, the hair on my neck stood up.
George Sluizer's English-language remake of THE VANISHING might have contrived a happy ending, but it did enhance the character of the hero's second girlfriend
If I remember correctly, his wife heavily influenced the first trilogy. The Special Edition changes were him re-inserting random details. The second trilogy was all Lucas. His wife was apparently a genius.
fans toxic obsession with star wars turned the series from an amazing set of films with a wonderful fanbase of loving passionate people to a toxic cesspool acting as home to a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
From a story-telling point of view there was nothing ever remotely wrong with Han shooting first. From a legal theory point of view, Han was afraid for his life.
The special editions of the original Star Wars trilogy are the better versions of those films. for all the whining about shooting first and musical numbers, 90% of the changes in the special editions weren't additions to the film, but fixing special effects errors. from the blatant squares around ships, to the more subtle backgrounds bleeding through cockpits, the OT was riddled with small errors that become glaring once you notice them. and even the additions just helps to flesh out the universe (showing the "busy" space port actually BEING BUSY), or just make more sense (the search for the droids being more then just a handful of stormtroopers walking back and forth, thus making people's apprehension make more sense). yet people just want to complain. hell, they even complained about adding bits of scientific accuracy, like the shockwave when the two deathstars explode. which were added, not just because they look cool as hell, but also since in the time between the original release and the special editions the footage came out from those handful of nuclear bomb tests done in low orbit which showed the same kinds of shockwaves depicted in those scenes. the SEs made the films even more visually astounding then they already were, helped tie the whole sage together, and overall improved the experience of watching them. those couple seconds of footage that people love to complain about just seems like wasted effort. BTW, the theatrical versions were the ones i grew up on and watched as a kid. incase you were wondering.
Yes, but we can’t find the original version on DVD or Blu-ray to watch it. All the current formats have the little additions and changes. I understand cleaning up the original graphics, Disney does that all the time, but for me the changes that were made stick out and distract me from the movie. I see all the little things that were added in and I start focusing on them. I watched these movies so much as a child that even the ‘better’ change of showing a busy space port makes me go “Something’s wrong here!” in my head. Think of it like if Disney had re-released ‘Beauty and the Beast’ but ONLY the extended cut version with that additional song Human Again.
Oliver Stone releasing three separate cuts of his disasterous Alexander was pretty pathetic. He kept tinkering to try and salvage something worthwhile with no success. The cut that promised to be "more action packed" just chopped out characterization and down played the gay relationship angle.
Enhance, don't re-cut...unless the studio completely screwed the film by amputating critical plot points or important character development. That being said, looking forward to Stallone re-cutting Rocky IV to make a proper movie out of a string of montages. November 11.
It's sad John Hughes didn't recognise that Ducky showing up to the prom as a friend to Andi was great development for his character after the whole freak out about how they should be together even though she doesn't have romantic feelings for him.

Jules always has a loving message at the end of the videos he narrates. Such a great human being.
I can't agree - I find his "But before I go, friends -" He's NOT my friend, and they reek of anti-suicide public service announcements.

Lucas should be #1. He made soooo many changes to his films
He wasn’t fixing mistakes.
He was making them.
I agree! Bad ones somemore! Haha.

@@turnerphillips2537 This is where the classic quote "If it ain't broke don't fix it" comes in handy.
Han didn't shoot first. He was the only one to shoot.
Damn right. Han's a stone cold killer.
Han Shot Solo!
Han didn't shoot first, Han was the only one to shoot.
and that is how a smuggler with a bounty on his head stays alive. just like in the wild west, the fastest draw lives to be a hero and the slow villains get planted in boot hill.
We all know Han shot first and Greedo never got a shot off. That's what happened and it doesn't change how we feel about Han.
I mean, it's true that Han didn't shoot first. He shot. That's all. Greedo never got a shot off for there to be a first or second.

The Outsiders was completely redone. The complete novel version is excellent.
Excellent list...and heartwarming "special Jules comment" at the end. Thank you for always keeping my spirits up you hunka hunka burning love! 😘😘😘
Thanks Jules God bless
Only Han Shot
Han Shot First implies a second shot
Hello! We want to buy an advertisement in your video, how we can contact you?
People still spend way too much time talking about Bryan Singer. He’s a middle of the road filmmaker and a wretched human being.
I think I like Jules the best when it comes to the people narrating the videos.
When we got to the top two I was thinking it would be Lucas and the Snider cut. Amazed that it didn’t even make the list.
Sylvester Stallone Made Rocky Balboa to fix the failure that was Rocky 5 never liked that whole brain damage plotline
Stallone has gone back to Rocky IV to re-cut it. Director's Cut premieres November 11.
Han shot first and justifiable so... That is all.
The production of Some Kind of Wonderful was a disaster from the beginning. So many things went wrong during the production, and when I read the reaction of Maddie Corman's mother's passing during the production in Hughs' teen movie biography book, the hair on my neck stood up.
Lucas was actually making mistakes. Not fixing them.
The Funny Games remake was still great. That movie really is upsetting. Lol
Greedo never shot! Never fired his weapon. I saw the movie. Ten times. In the theater. Didn't get a single shot off, all ten times.
George Sluizer's English-language remake of THE VANISHING might have contrived a happy ending, but it did enhance the character of the hero's second girlfriend
Han clearly shot first
Jules: days of future past undid the last stand.
me: yea, but who can undo this shit. *looks at Dark Phoenix*
Dark Phenix is just "last stand" all over again, so I guess they just did a "repeat" of events.
Lucas should be in the hall of fame
Fun list but is it weird that the final msg today was very suitable for my current situation?
George Lucas' toxic obsession with Star Wars reduced him from admired artist to a mad one trick pony

@@erakfishfishfish He didn't say the trick was good. =P
Ridley Scott filmed a new scene 25 years later for Blad Runner final cut.
Are you okay, Jules?
"it's just that circumstance didn't allow for it to happen." for what to happen?
am so confuse. am i high?
i am high.
From a story-telling point of view there was nothing ever remotely wrong with Han shooting first. From a legal theory point of view, Han was afraid for his life.
still prefer the first blade runner still remember how amazed i was watching it in the cinema.probable the only directors cut i like is aliens

I never understood the crap everyone gave about if han shot first or not.
It changes the character from a merciless smuggler anti-hero to a dumb but lucky adventurer. If ya don't understand why that's really sad
@@boyankovachev7982 I've read the Han Solo trilogy. He was a dumb lucky adventurer.
Snyder Cut...
Greedo was a murdering bounty hunter.....
