    We need to appreciate how Harrison Ford goes into the category of "being" Han Solo just like Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark and Ryan Reynolds IS Wade Wilson/Deadpool.

      Well Harrison is also Indiana Jones, more even so, because Ford likes playing Indy better, I personally prefer Harrison as Indy, because he's the main character, and the amazing actor that Harrison is comes to life in Indiana Jones, just perfectly.

    I got #10 for everyone to read. There was a scene shot but never fully done where Han is sitting at the table with a human woman sitting by him or on his lap and Ben Kenobi with Luke, walks over to talk to Solo. Han tells the girl to take off so he can talk "business" with these people. She gets up, Han does to and she walks away. Hen then says to Ben that he hasn't seen a weapon like that, (meaning the Light Saber) in years/from way back when Han was a kid. Then Solo moves past Ben to sit down. This scene is right before Han says his own name and tells Ben & Luke he is the Captain of The Falcon.

      Yeah!
      It was just Lucas trying to make his original Star Wars a far more family friendly universe. It makes Han Solo out to be less of a bad guy, if he shoots in self defense. Screw that, Solo was eliminating the trash and moving on.

    • @TheTookishness

      no annie is correct because ani would be prononced "a-knee". not "an-ee". because if you think about it the "a" sound in anakin changes to an "e" sound when they call him "annie". it's kinda how robert vs. robby. the dudes full name is robert, which has absolutely no y anywhere in it. but people call him robby for short and so a y gets thrown in there.

  • @airthief36
    @airthief36 9 лет назад +90

    The reason it's ridiculous to have greedo shoot 1st is this; greedo was a seasoned bounty hunter, he was 2 feet away from han. If greedo shot 1st, it would be stupid to think he would miss. It wouldn't make sense. It fits han's rogue like gun slinging "space cowboy" personality to shoot 1st.

    • @GamerGarm
      @GamerGarm 9 лет назад +9

      Air Thief36 Yeah, that's the worst offender.
      Forget the "morality" of shooting first, how could Greedo miss?

    • @Sparrow9612
      @Sparrow9612 9 лет назад +5

      Air Thief36 - Greedo was actually not as good as he thought he was. Han was pretty much a surgeon with that blaster.

    • @GamerGarm
      @GamerGarm 9 лет назад +13

      ***** It's called "point-blank" range for a reason. You can't really miss at that distanse. If Greedo can't make that kind of shot he couldn't make a living as a bounty hunter, unless this was his very first job. However, his conversation with Han leaves very clear that this is NOT his first rodeo.
      I love the movies, but this just doesn't make any sense. A change that was completely unnecesary and ruined a great scene

    • @igkgigoh
      @igkgigoh 9 лет назад +8

      Gamer Garm And what about the morality? Greedo was just a bounty hunter, who intended to shoot Han for the money, so it doesn't really matter that Solo shot first, he only saved his own life.
      I don't get what made Lucas change the scene.

    • @RictusHolloweye
      @RictusHolloweye 9 лет назад +12

      Air Thief36 In addition to the whole logistics of the situation... from a story telling point of view it was so much better when Han just blasted Greedo. Han went on a whole journey where he started as a cynical pirate but, through his time with Luke, Obi-Wan and Leia, grew to view the universe differently and learned to care.
      Changing this to claim that Han was always a misunderstood "good guy" just ruins the journey that made the character so relatable and so... kick arse.

  • @tskwared667
    @tskwared667 9 лет назад +19

    I don't know why people get so upset when franchises disregard expanded universes. It's literally stories other people just plain made up about the universe. If I draw a picture of the Millennium Falcon flying above dinosaurs on Earth, and just say this happened in the Star Wars universe, does that make it part of the story? No. You can't make fan fiction and claim it to be part of the same story. Only the owners of the content can add to the official universe, or grant authenticity to writers saying that it is part of it.

    • @tylerharris7081

      The fault lies in Lucas passively endorsing several stories that made everyone start embracing these fanfictions as fact. I guess he meant well at the time but it ended up spoiling the fandom later on.

    whoaa the indiana jones/sasquatch one totally blew my mind

  • @IgnemFeram01
    @IgnemFeram01 8 лет назад +13

    The reason why I think Han shot first: I have the 1995 video release of the Original Trilogy, Greedo doesn't shoot at all. In a script that was recovered in a Canadian library a few months ago, it says that Han shoots Greedo and Greedo doesn't shoot at all.
    To all you kids that are confused, the version of Star Wars that you've been watching your entire lives isn't the original. The 1995 release does have changes. It is remastered and the opening text scroll was changed to accommodate for the (then only conceptualized) Prequel Trilogy. That's pretty much it.

      @konradson 10 лет назад +2

      It seems it is going to be decades later, with the new Jedi Academy... Han's children with Leia... and maybe we'll see how one of them falls into the Dark Side... so he could have an important role... like Luke's wife the Imperial Assasin Mara Jade...

      @Spar10Leonidas 10 лет назад +5

      I don't care what Lucas says, the whole idea of Greedo shooting first makes no fucking sense. They're at point blank range and it's way too quick for it to count as Han responding in self-defense. Even if Han shooting first wasn't Lucas' intention, it was most certainly a happy accident at the very least.

    • @StuckInnerRut
      @StuckInnerRut 9 лет назад +6

      exactly what a character like Solo would have done, or anyone for that matter, knowing that Greedo probably has a gun pointing at him. A lot has been said about this, especially from Lucas. I guess its the 'morally right thing to do' speech, but seriously, anyone caught in that situ would want to shoot first.

    • @WalterLiddy
      @WalterLiddy 9 лет назад +2

      Lucas is full of shit. There would be no point whatsoever in drawing his blaster covertly under the table if he intended to then wait like a gentleman and see if Greedo would shoot.

      "I've been looking forward to this."

    • @FurryAminal
      @FurryAminal 9 лет назад +4

      Han shot first. Greedo made it obvious that he was about to shoot Solo ("I've been waiting for this for a long time") so Han redecorated the cantina wall in Greedo Green.
      Also, Solo was a drug smuggler (spice is a drug - its not Paprika).

    • @Timasion
      @Timasion 9 лет назад +4

      FurryAminal This is exactly correct. Han Solo wasn't a "good guy." He was a bad guy who was hired to do good things. His character voyage went from Han Solo being a mercenary and stick-for-nought to a man with principles.

  • @sylvur
    @sylvur 10 лет назад +11

    I could of sworn seeing in a documentary that Harrison Ford never auditioned for Han Solo. They were auditioning Mark Hamill for the part of Luke and Harisson Ford just so happened to be there on the day and they needed someone to read out Han's lines. Lucas found the chemistry in between Mark and Harrison to be absolutely perfect and that's how Ford ended up getting the role.
    Lucas didn't want to hire any star actors for Star Wars. Harisson was already famous for Bladerunner, but in the end, he just had to get him after seeing the audition.

    • @Otakahunt
      @Otakahunt 10 лет назад +2

    Geek fact correction: Lucas wouldn't let Ford audition, as he had already been in American Graffiti and didn't want to use any known or previously utilized actors. But Harrison was allowed to help read the actors coming in to audition for the various parts in Star Wars. Eventually Lucas saw that Ford was the perfect man for the part and cast him. *see the Star Wars making of doc in the DVD/blue day trilogy set....very detailed and pure awesome.*

      In fact, one of the co-producers (IIRC, not 100% sure what job the other
      fellow held in production) shoed Harrison in the door, convincing
      George to let him read off to the other actors. He wanted Ford in, tho
      Lucas initially did not. SW w/Bill Katt and Perry King. . . Would not have been the same.

    Y'know why JJ rebooted and reimagined Star Trek? Because the earlier movies were becoming stagnant, and the franchise could only appeal to die-hard fans. For a franchise to live on, you need new fans. And so if you're disappointed that the EU is now non-canonical to the Star Wars movies, all you gotta do is look at Star Trek. I've read some of the EU, but I don't know it all and I (and a lot of other people, I'm sure) could really care less about some missing piece of continuity from some obscure EU book from among dozens of EU books. If you want to say that I'm not a "real Star Wars fan", that's fine. But I was there in 1977 to see the original movie up on the big screen, and I've been there for each and every Star Wars movie since then.

      You may be right, but I thought Lucas completely lost his way with the second trilogy. The first was lightweight and fun. It seemed to me that he tried to get "deep" with the second trilogy and only succeeded in getting turgid and ponderous. He lost his sense of excitement, fun and timing. Absolutely hated the second trilogy and they left me discouraged enough to not want to see any future movies.
      I think the spinoffs worked with Star Trek because they hang on with a death grip to the series' original characters -- no sequels or prequels; for the most part they were entirely new characters in new settings.

    • @Vyselink
      @Vyselink 9 лет назад +8

      I don't so much care that the EU is not part of the 'official" canon anymore, because a lot of those books were amazing stories and I'll continue to read them. It's not that I don't consider you a "real" Star Wars fan, because you are, I just feel you are missing some fantastic stories.

      Mona Irwin you know I have seen hundreds of people like you who hate the second trilogy and your probably from the generation that grew up with the original star wars trilogy, correct? From a certain standpoint, I can see your point, because of jar jar, and, well, that's my only problem with it, but I know what you mean. Well I'm 17 and I grew up watching the original trilogy, and it wasn't until after that I saw the new movies. I loved all of them. I think the prequels are directed more towards the newer generations. I am a big fan of all star wars. eps. 1-6, the clone wars, (2003-2005) and (2008-2014).

    Han Solo is reputably also one of if not THE fastest shots in the galaxy with a blaster pistol. It was one of his special perks. Its comparable to Billy the Kid in the old west. This is apparent in Empire Strikes Back when he draws and fires on Vader. Most people would have been choked or had the gun taken from them with force power BEFORE firing, but as you can see Han still gets off a few shots! - Lore I learned in the 90s :P

    • @CliventheTraveller
      @CliventheTraveller 9 лет назад

      AmazingHatOfDreams Incorrect. It was always a separate canon. One that Lucas likely flushed w/his own stories for 7 - 9 that he'd had in mind from the beginning (when he first broke up the one movie into three trilogies, as it was too big for one film), and roughed out to hand to Disney. Almost amusingly (or perhaps ominously) Disney (probably JJ) nixed those, too, to make 100% new scripts.

  • @lostparadisefilms
    @lostparadisefilms 9 лет назад +2

    Han shooting first didn't make him dark, or a bad guy, just a savy survivor. Greedo's dialogue declares his intention to murder Solo right there. Han shooting before he can get the shot off is the equalivent to the old west gun fighter who draws first. And as someone else mentioned earlier, aiming his gun under the table shows that he was ready to shoot regardless.

    Ford didn't exactly audition for the role. He was working as a carpenter at the time, building stuff for Lucas. He was given a supporting role in American Graffiti. Later, Lucas hired him to read some lines to auditioning actors because he had a good voice. Spielberg heard the recording and convinced Lucas to give him the role of Han.

Because Indiana Jones franchise is based around early 1920's to early 1960's. And if they found the remains of han, it must of been around that time, around the mid 1900's. So thats a pretty cool thing that dark horse comics did but han dieing, no just why? Seriously.

    Harrison Ford was a carpenter on the set and he was never really considered for the role. Lucas knew he could act, due to American Graffiti and asked him to read with the actors being considered for Luke and Leia and he found, by accident, that he fit it so well.
