Harmy's clip does look great, there is no denying that. Han's flesh tones seem to be a bit off from what I remember, but that's again due to the limitations of the source material. You are correct Tim, the subtitles at the screening did have a dimensional look to them, but they weren't shaking. When I see Harmy's clip, it does not exactly reflect what I saw at the screening due to the level of shake he applied. The video isn't reliable since the camera itself shakes and there is a ton a flicker since it's a NTSC video camera capturing a moving film image. While the subtitles appear to be crisper than in Harmy's version, it doesn't "conclusively" show anything either way sadly.

I won't say there was no shake at all on the print for the Greedo scene, but I had a great seat for the screening and as I said, I studied that scene pretty intensely as it played. If there was shake it was extremely subtle and certainly not at the excessive level that Harmy's clip applied. Harmy's shake is obvious and a bit overkill, which unfortunately doesn't represent the actual print. I think some people just have it in there head that there must be shake, and will try to find ways to convince themselves and others, but I'm telling you... it wasn't the case.  

I guess you're gonna leave it this way, and that's fair... I would just like a shakeless version of that scene if it's at all possible Harmy. I would be very appreciative as it would look the way I remember seeing it last year. Unfortunately, I lack the skills to recreate this myself.
