The original tweet and claim by author Paul Duncan (which he later deleted):-

I donā€™t know where the heck he got the idea Greedoā€™s subtitles were added in 1983. They have always been in the movie since 1977.
Must be open season on bad info lately. Iā€™ve seen claims elsewhere that Splinter Of The Mindā€™s Eye was going to be a tv-movie, and that the Ewok films were partially shot on video. No idea where this stuff is coming fromā€¦

The worst thing for me is that Paul Duncan claims to be a film historian.

I can almost forgive some of the more outlandish claims made by clickbait journalists on clickbait-sites looking for views via a misleading and attention grabbing headline, stretching the truth, or giving a ā€˜different point of viewā€™.

Yet a ā€˜film historianā€™ with two exclusive, official and expensive ā€˜Archiveā€™ books currently out, and not even doing the most rudimentary of fact checks? Wow!

Perhaps Lucasfilm should be coming here for a factually correct history of Star Wars šŸ˜‰

Iā€™m going to be working on a definitive history of the Greedo scene in an all-new format: video.

Video? I look forward to your videos. Good luck!
