[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 2372005, member: 3570"] That's pretty much what I said, yes. Oh please, your little bid for artistic high ground by demeaning the visuals and sound as nothing more than "bright lights, loud sounds, and explosivey explosions" isn't fooling anyone. This is the [i]Star Wars[/i] saga. You're not impressing anyone to imply that half the fun isn't being dazzled by all the cool worlds, ships, creatures, and music. If the story wasn't there, sure they wouldn't be as big a deal as they are today, but if the visuals, sounds, and music weren't there then the films would lose an equal amount of impact. The story of Star Wars is very simple and the themes aren't new. What sets it apart is the setting and the way its presented. You know, all those bright lights and loud sounds. No one said you should care. No it isn't. To believe so only shows [i]your[/i] ignorance. Greedo was going to blow Han away at the table. That's how it was always intended. So Han blew away Greedo. Again the way it was [i]always[/i] intended to be. The only reason the change was made was because George didn't believe that it was clear that Greedo really was going to try and murder him on the spot. If he had realized that at the time it was filmed no doubt he would have reblocked the scene to make it more obvious. But that option wasn't available. All he could do was try and jury-rig the scene that was already there. Which led us to the awkward shot that exists today. The only character change whatsoever is for [i]Greedo[/i] as he's now 1. a quicker shot and 2. a bigger spaz. I'm sorry, but the awesomeness of the Star Wars saga has hardly revolved around the nature and competence of a random throw-away bounty hunter who was a chump from the very beginning. [/QUOTE]
