[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5816368, member: 42169"] Here's the issue.. He may say he intended Han to shoot second, then why didn't he select the footage that supports that claim when he originally created the original master print? He could have easily used the special edition footage or done something more evocative of the western like the following: As Greedo and Han spoke, the camera would have focused on their eyes. Then when Han said "over my dead body" the camera suddently focuses on Greedo pulling the trigger and you see the flash and sparks of a squib igniting (it would have served as a nice book end to cut of Han Solo manipulating his gun under the table). Cut to flash and smoke from Han's gun as the rest of the original scene plays out, giving the audience a OMFG moment and a loud round of applause when they realized that either Han and Greedo both shot at the same time and Greedo sucks at aiming or Greedo just sucks at being a bounty hunter and Han is a bad ass. For someone who said the film was inspired by westerns and samurai cinema it just amazes me how much he refused to buy into their cinematic techniques to punch up the emotion of a scene that plays one one of their tropes. As for the movie bombing in the theaters. Part of it is because I despise directors and producers who rerelease films in the theater to take advantage of a gimmick or with an almost negligable amount of "new footage" that only amounts to new special effects. If you wantt to prove you are a good director, producer, writer or what ever do it with a new project not be noodling around with something you produced 5+ years ago. The theatrical rerelease of the prequals and the original films reaks of a despirate attempt to snatch money from the same fans that despises due to their "over critical nature." Just put out the films on dvds/blue ray like everyone else are doing and call it a day! -Sent via Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
