I was saying that the second the big brute is brandishing a weapon it's a whole other matter, and in that case homicide in self-defense is justified.
I'm just saying what we did to Iraq was just declare they were brandishing a wepon, and now it turns out that was an inaccurate assumption on our part.
That's like killing the big guy in a bar who has only verbally threatened you, and telling the police later you thought he was pointing a gun at you.
As far as Han/Greedo, you misunderstood my point there too. I agree that Greedo was pointing a gun at him and telling Han flat out that he planned on killing him, which made Han's first shot entirely justifiable.
The reason I understand why Lucas changed it, is because I could see how a lot of people could have missed the subtitles, and without that, it's not entirely clear the intent was to kill Han, Greedo could have just been trying to "bring him in" for his bounty.
So while I think it was fine originally for me, I could understand why Lucas would want to clarify that better. I know I have heard from a lot of people who were saying Han was cool because he didn't let morals get in his way. If I were Lucas and I heard enough of that, I might think things needed to be clarified too.
