Han shoots. No shot from Greedo.
As it should be.
My bad., I stopped following the SW news after the prequels (at the time, McCallum had said there was no way Lucas would agree to release again the old versions, as no source of a quality that met Lucas's standards still existed, just old video transferts) I didn't remember Lucas had finally decided to release them, taken from those old video transferts that were used back in the days to make the VHS, as a bonus on one of the DVD editions. I'm mildy suprised he finally accepted - and what is Wibble complaining about then?
I don't see the point of watching "the originals", to be honest.
Because they're what I grew up with, because they're a piece of cinematic history, and because they have a charm all of their own.
I always found the debate over the changes totally ridiculous. I think ILM did a wonderful job restoring the movies. I don't care much for the added scenes either, but it's absurd to want to watch the crappier version (except out of pure curiosity, if one has never seen the originals, or something), when a top notch and pristine version of the movies is available and provide a much better watching experience, but to each his own.

I have the originals on DVD. I bet you can find them in shops still.

Do you mean VHS? Or perhaps you don't equate "Original" to what the rest of us do.

I'm pretty sure that Han shoots first in the DVDs we have, but I'll have to check.

The answer is to ignore the Blu-Ray release and buy the 2006 release instead.
