Also of interest is this On Topic EW article: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/30/george-lucas-han-shoot-first. There’s a clip of someone from Sirius XM asking JJ Abrams if Han shot first. His answer should not surprise you.
Hell Yes.
And this is how it should get done.
The newer generation - Abrams, Johnson, Edwards - letting Kennedy know…
No doubt. I’m pleased that the Sequel Trilogy will be made by members of Gen X (my generation) who grew up on the originals. I’m certain that any future Saga trilogies will be made by other generations and take a different tone, perhaps.
There was an interesting article about this very topic in The Atlantic (I think!?) about 2 months ago.
