Does George really hate HAN SOLO that much that he needs to water down his character at every turn?
has anyone backed up WMN on the line being cut? I'd bet it's similar reasoning to why he removed "you're lucky you don't taste very good," ie he doesn't like it when people mess with HIS vision. Aren't there numerous horror stories from Star Wars about how controlling he was with the actors whenever possible? If the line was improv he probably think it detracts from his original script.
