That might be a different take of Han Solo, but that's the same take of Fett. If you look closely, you can see that the blu-ray Fett looks pasted into the frame; that's because it looks like they used the same take of Fett (cut and pasted against a new background), just repositioned and "squeezed" horizontally (look at how his helmet is flattened side-to-side) to give the illusion of a different angle.

I have to say, I don't really mind this new angle. Granted, I'd have to see both shots in motion to really compare them (but I'm still not buying the blu-ray). The original shot was always framed a bit flat; the new angle and framing makes the shot a bit more dynamic.

But again, I'd have to see it combined with the other shots to see how well it fits.
