I probably wouldn't have ever noticed the change in 1997 if the internet didn't tell me so. Going back and watching the old version, there was a LOT of smoke, so yeah, it coulda happened. Anyway, I think the 2004 version is great.

I never thought of Han as a badass in the first place. I always thought of him as kind of a coward, really. I always knew he was a good guy, but he didn't want to get involved so as to not get hurt. I mean he kinda ran away when there was a big space fight supposed to happen. Then, he got a change of heart and came back to help save the day. That's the Han I always knew and he never changed. He just wanted to do whatever he could so that he wouldn't get hurt. He obviously shot Greedo so that he wouldn't get shot himself. He didn't care (actually he did) about helping the Rebels, because he didn't want to get hurt as well. That's it. What do you guys think of this? I was only one when the movie was released, but I kinda thought Han and Indiana Jones were about the same. Much like Indy is scared of snakes, Han is scared of Greedo (though he hides it) and everyone else that might harm him.
