I did watch a 1997 press conference for the Special Edition and I thought it was wild, he seems to be saying he always intended for Greedo to shoot first.
Not in those words but if you parse his intent, He says he doesn’t like the idea of Han killing in cold blood because it was not intended.

And this does not reflect how the shoot went down and what Gary Kurtz has said.

If he admitted he didn’t like the message it was sending kids, and that was why he wanted the change I wouldn’t like it, but would understand his motives. The whole Han can’t be a hero or marry Leia if he is killer is laughable and pandering.

Luke nuked an entire space station full of people, those weren’t robots George. I guess 99% were imperial nazis but they had to have some slaves who died on that thing. Or conscripted forces and labor.
