What I love is when he starts claiming that this or that change was part of his original vision. Like claiming he always wanted Greedo to shoot first, which is not reflected in any draft of the script before shooting or the shooting script or the memory of the actor who played Greedo.

Dude lies so often he doesn't even think people will check.

And it works so much better that way. Lucas decided at some point to remove all moral ambiguity from all of his characters and it's nuts.

Based. I hate "Han shot first." Greedo couldn't get a shot off. I grew up on the "face" editions. The box VHS set.

You can shoot first and last, so it's technically still correct.

Nope. It was originally just Star Wars.

George Lucas (who lies all the time) claims he always planned for it to be Episode IV, but that introduction was only added when it was re-released before after The Empire Strikes Back came out... and when people initially saw it, they laughed.

Edit: Got the chronology wrong

Nope. Not until many years later. Hell it was only ONE movie until it took over the world and people could not get enough of it, so everyone and their dog begged Lucas to make more.

Then ya boi’s all “oh it was always going to be a trilogy” yeah yeah okay George. “And it was always meant to have three prequels which would” George, shutup a minute - firstly there’s no such word as prequel, so - anyway.

Look, you mashed up Metropolis and Dune on a whim and got solid gold, why not leave it alone? Money. Right. Of course. Ah well.

As far as I'm concerned, that was a scene with a different Jabba, a big Irish guy in a fur coat. But it wasn't in the movie, so it doesn't matter.

This was such a stupid, stupid scene. Like all the other "humor" scenes he started injecting.

Jabba's way too small. And there's no way in hell he'd let him just stomp on his tail like that. And...sigh.

On my Jellyfin server I edited that part out along with most of the bad graphics.

Too bad they want you to get it from Usenet. I can't really justify paying for that for just one movie.

Harmy’s despecalized edition FTW.

The Wikipedia article I linked doesn't say so. I don't think he made any major changes until the Special Editions.
