...was it not? A spring loaded boxing glove coming out of Han's crotch? That is what that is, is it not?Grey Carter said:
Whoa, I just remembered I still have my old VHS tapes of Starwars...Well Ill be darned though, I forgot Han Shot firstJandau said:
Thnx for clarifying that up for me.
Actually he was supposed to be shooting it out of his gun. I'll have to talk to Cory about that one. Which film does he shoot a boxing glove out of his crotch though? I can't remember that one.BehattedWanderer said:
It was the opening cinematic ending for the series, I believe, where Lupin is diving for a girl's lovelies, and she deploys a spring-powered boxing glove from beneath a towel from between her legs, knocking him away. I thought that's what it was that Han was doing.Grey Carter said:

There's the video I was thinking of. It's after they introduce Lupin.
basically. God damn it. Way to make your characters ever the more shitty, lucas.Dorian6 said:
Characterization in the prequel trilogy is terrible.
I wasn't really a fan of these comics because I never gave them a chance. But now, after this one, I read through all of them today. Very funny! I wish they were older so that there could be more.
I liked this one. I was already laughing and then suddenly the fist pops out. xD

This is precisely why I've come to view the change as wrong. I didn't have an ardent reaction of fanboy rage upon seeing the scene altered. It did just look funny but I was fine with it. On subsequently reviewing the movie though and having some time to chew over it it weakens the whole character and the premise of the danger solo represents as a whole. And that isn't just "nostalgia blinding me". One change can have a huge impact on a film, like the decision to include Commodus's scene with his father's bust in Gladiator or the decision to Go back to the original ending for Bladerunner.Deathlyphil said:

You walked into your viewing with the opinion that the people complaining were "just fanboys". You were biased from the start, don't feign objectivity.Hardcore_gamer said:
Ultimately they are Lucas's films. You won't hear me griping that they "belong to the people" or some bullshit. Fanboys say these things and it does make them harder to take seriously. But for what it's worth even a broken clock is right twice a day. They belong to George Lucas and that means he can change them however he wants. So long as I'm free to have the opinion that sometimes those changes were unnecessary or for the worse.
hahhaaa oh man that's be hilarious
I've been a Star Wars all my life basically, but I'm having trouble keeping up with all the new stuff they keep pumping out
so I don't really care too much, enjoy stuff when I can, you know?
people can't seem to adopt a non-worshipful attitude (it's how one enjoys Halo while remaining a member of this community)

i think i saw it first in an episode of furi kuri, it was probably a reference to lupin but i didnt watch that until later. and truthfully the crotch thing was totally by accident, if i had moved the picture over a little more to the right you could have seen that its coming from his gun at his side... kinda...BehattedWanderer said:
Yup. They actually reference it in that episode, making fun of the one-time appearance of the Green Jacket. But, hey, if it's a FLCL reference instead, I'm totally cool with that too. Furi Kuri is pretty awesome...foxyexplosion said:
As we know Han is a smuggler, looking out for himself and perfectly content with backstabbing some of his freinds (excluding Chewbacca of course) to make money. What we know of Greedo is that he is a trained killer, a bounty hunter that clearly has met Han before and knows what he is capable of. Now, as we see in the scene, they start a conversation. Han knows that Greedo is here for the bounty but due to the fact that he is a smuggler and not a bounty hunter himself, he wants to resolve this peacefully. Greedo on the other hand doesn't care because he knows he will be paid anyway. For all you people who say "where is the logic in that" just think, why would the Empire want Han alive? There would be no point whatsoever in keeping Han alive, so whether Greedo shot him or not they would still get rid of the smuggler.
Now, Greedo is getting impatient, frustrated that right when he meets his bounty he is unable to do anything due to the conversation they were having. He shoots, misses, then Han shoots. At the range they were at it may seem impossible to miss but put into account how innaccurate the blasters were in the first place and the fact that the elevated stress level could have caused Greedo to curve over to the reckless side, we cannot deny that Greedo missing was possible.
Now that that problem has a more realistic look to it rather than a "No, Han shoots first because thats how the movie was made", it can put into perspective how much thought could have been put into it.
Or, you know, they could have just changed it to make it family friendly.
Now to mention on Critical Miss. Why is it that I am both mad at them yet amused at their comics? They make fun of things on a Yahtzee level (which is in itself funny) but I can't help but think that (like Yahtzee) they are overdoing the douchebaggery of it. hmm.
