Maclunky 😕

Hey there, everyone, I don’t believe this has been discussed, I see Harmy only quoted it. If it has, just ignore me.

Apparently in the Disney+ release of Star Wars, which I hear looks excellent because of a new 4K scan or something, they once again altered the scene with Han and Greedo. Greedo still shoots first but now they added the line “Maclunky” that Greedo shouts right before he dies.

This is the discussion thread for that:

Why, in the name of the force, would they do that? Unbelievable.

Apparently it’s supposedly for greater tie-in with the prequels. Supposedly some prequel character says “Maclunkey” and if you’re cool and in the know about crappy prequels you too can know the meaning of Greedo’s dying words. Or like everyone else you can just pretend it never happened.

All of these changes are from the Reliance 4K project, which was done under Lucasfilm/Lucas for a 3D release that never materialized, so that sort of thing mattered to them. Disney just used the films they bought.
