This quote is a classic by Lucas as he tries to defend the change of Greedo shooting first in the Special Edition:

GL: It’s a correction. [When I made Star Wars] I said, ‘Well, I don’t have that shot, so I’ll just, you know, fudge it editorially.’ In my mind [Greedo]shot first or at the same time. We like to think of [Han Solo] as a murderer because that’s hip- I don’t think that’s a good thing for people. I mean, I don’t see how you could redeem somebody who kills people in cold blood."…

Come on now, Lucas has lost his mind!
