So a while back, I complained about the relative lack of violence in the latest Indiana Jones film. Indy doesn’t shoot a single person. I blamed this on Lucus – the only person in the galaxy who believes that Star Wars is a better film when Greedo shoots first.
Anyway, I’ve edited together a little protest. Here’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, getting the Lucas “Special” Edition treatment:
By the way, a couple months ago, there was a very strange photo floating around the internet.
That’s George Lucas, on the set of Crystal Skull, wearing a “Han Shot First” t-shirt. This is basically the same as George Bush wearing a “No Blood For Oil” t-shirt. Does not compute.
The obvious conclusion one would come to here is that the Flanneled One is making fun of Star Wars fans who eschew his decision to make Han somehow more wholesome by making Greedo shoot first.
But I say Lucas created the controversy for the sole purpose of selling “Han Shoots First” gear, a shirt of which he deliberately wears in a publicity shoot for his other emasculated franchise so as to subliminally get Star Wars geeks, nerds, dweebs and dorks (there’s a difference between the four) to buy his new line of wear…..

…geeks, nerds, dweebs and dorks (there’s a difference between the four). A lot to learn about this fascinating and complex language.
