Lucas is so wrong, as usual. Tons of people mind about the recut of Blade Runner. Give me the original theatrical version any day over the other recuts.

Ok, so many things to cover here...Let's start with:
"...he (Lucas) claims that the intention was always that Greedo shot first, and that the original sequence just had an editing problem."
Really. just really. BTW George Lucas, being a billionaire doesn't mean you can lie to yourself and all of us and we have to believe you. Now if you want to pay us all...
Secondly, Ed said: "Tons of people mind about the recut of Blade Runner." The more i think about this the more i can agree with it. Tons, in this case we'll say 2 tons or 4000 lbs. of people, and if we say the average weight of the people who mind the BR re-cuts is say, 175 lbs, that means 22.9 people (we'll round up to 23) mind. That seems about right. Good call Ed.

Your math does not compute. It's time to retire you.

My take is that at this point it doesn't matter who shot first.
Whenever we see the scene, we know Han shot first. We'll just have to
explain that to the next generation of Star Wars fans.
Also: Is it weird that the version of Blade Runner I like was the
extended VHS cut, which leaves in the narration but adds in only the
extra violence from the Director's Cut?
