However, if the 4k version still includes the awful 'Han standing on CGI Jabba's tail' scene (which also ruins the later 'first reveal of the Falcon' scene), then restoring the original Han shooting Greedo editing will only mildly improve things overall.I don't know why it took till just now for me to realize that the added Jabba scene does indeed ruin the Millennium Falcon reveal. I guess I don't look at Star Wars with fresh eyes anymore, but that really would spoil things for a new viewer. It adds yet another layer of terrible to this entire Special Edition farce.
It ruins the Falcon reveal, it ruins the intro of Boba Fett in the next film, and it ruins the reveal of Jabba two films later.
As long as we continue to have to live with this scene as an integral part of the "official" versions, instead of as the mildly interesting deleted scene that it once was and still ought to be, then I suggest they go whole hog and insert even more future-reveal-ruining characters for Han to re-relay the same exact information that was already established in the Greedo scene...
