I tried to explain it away by claiming it was just a nearby Eopie farting.

I don't know what to make of it, but I can no longer find the story on TheSpoof.com. Am I paranoid, or is this Lucas at his most insecure? Here's the story I had posted there:
Star Wars.com “Fan Edit Contest” Produces Winner
SKYWALKER RANCH - On Thursday afternoon, a beaming Rick McCallum, executive producer of George Lucas’ three signature films, Star Wars Episodes 1-3, held a press conference to announce the winner of the Star Wars.com “Fandom Edit Contest”.
“After carefully reviewing some three dozen entries, George [Lucas] and I personally selected the winner. And it comes to us from...Brittany Miller of Novato, California! Congratulations, Brittany!”
Miller, a precocious youth of fifteen, was on hand as a guest of LucasFilm Inc. and soon ascended the dias for her reactions to winning the contest.
“Oh my God!” exclaimed the euphoric Brittany, “This is soooo wizard! I can’t believe it!”
Miller went on in a similar vein for about ten more minutes before McCallum returned to the podium, joining the winner.
“Obviously, you guys [the assembled media] don’t have time to watch all of Brittany’s Star Wars - Episode IV: Children of Anakin, but we thought we’d take you through the highlights of what grabbed George’s [Lucas] - uh, our attention.”
McCallum then produced a remote control and used it to reach the beginning of Brittany’s Episode IV.
“Brittany inserted a new screen crawl here which, we thought, preserved the flavor the Original Prequel Trilogy. Observe,” said McCallum.
The new crawl read as follows:
Episode IV
CHILDREN OF ANAKIN
OMG! There is civil war everywhere. The Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire
are locked in a struggle to control the galaxy. There are heroes on both sides.
During a battle, the Rebels managed to steal the original Geonosian plans for
the Imperial DEATH STAR, an armored battle station with enough firepower
to destroy a planet in a single blast, with an awesome expanding ring of fire.
It is the kind of weapon which provides a decisive advantage to the evil heroes.
Pursued by the Empire in her father’s ship, Princess Leia is in possession of
the plans. Can the heroes on her side keep the plans from the heroes on the other?
A misty-eyed McCallum continued: “Next, Brittany provided more catharsis when she clarified George’s rough cut of this scene.”
The scene, as described by Brittany’s revised screenplay:
LUKE trudges out of the homestead, kicking the sand in frustration as the suns set. OWEN LARS has just told him he is stuck on TATTOOINE for another year. LUKE is sure that he is doomed to a life of farming.
As “Jedi Rocks” plays softly, LUKE looks out into the setting suns. On the face of each sun is a “ghosted” face of ANAKIN SKYWALKER on the left and PADME SKYWALKER on the right. In the space between is the “ghosted” face of WATTO.
The assembled press had to wait a minute or two as an emotional McCallum composed himself. He finally continued, “George and I had a real enthusiasm for this.”
We again refer to Brittany’s revised screenplay.
HAN: “Over my dead body.”
GREEDO: “Ukle nyumaa. Chesko po khuta klees ke tank ho, ya oska!
HAN: “Wait a minute, Greedo, don’t shoot!”
[GREEDO shoots and misses from point blank range]
HAN: “Greedo, stop! Let’s talk about this!”
[GREEDO shoots and misses again]
HAN: “This is cold-blooded violence, Greedo!”
[GREEDO shoots and misses again]
HAN: “This is the wrong message to send to Rodian children!”
[GREEDO shoots and misses. At the same time, a nearby EEOPIE farts. The laser blast redirects as a result of the lingering vapor and it hits GREEDO square in the chest]
HAN: “Yippee!”
Beaming, McCallum exclaimed to a blushing Brittany, “At that point, George [Lucas] said to me, ‘It’s as if she can read my mind!’ For my part, I thought it was fabuloso!!”
The press conference continued with footage of an exciting new lightaber battle by Obi-Wan and Vader, a six-hour long Battle of Yavin, and a victory celebration featuring Boss Nass, Senator Palpatine, and Elan Sleazebaggano.
For winning the contest, Brittany wins a job at LucasFilm, when she turns eighteen, for the position of Second Assistant Yes Man.

I never did anything in a recent theread, you take that back!

I loved the new "Greedo shoots first, second, third, fourth, and so on" scene!
It lets us as viewers know that Han is so soft-hearted, he only resorts to violence long after a normal person without such a hard working guardian angel would be pulverized! (and I think we can all agree that's what Lucas had really intended from the beginning; he just didn't have the technology available to make Greedo miss at point blank range in the 70's)
