Technically he didn’t shoot first, ONLY han shot, greedo didn’t get a chance to do anything. 😛 There was only one shot.

In my world of Star Wars there is also no such person called Qui-Gon because he wasn’t in any of the original films nor ever mentioned, and so all this talk about force ghosts is a lost point. Every Jedi that ever died in the OT appeared as a force ghost.

I’m so tired of hearing this semantic argument - Han Shot First sounds much better as a phrase than Han Was The Only One To Shoot and it’s not semantically wrong at all, because when two people are about to do the same thing, one of them has to do it first and whether or not the other one does it second or doesn’t do it at all, the first one still did it first.

@Moviefreakedmind: I’m sure you wouldn’t be breaking any rules by posting the link if you clearly said that it may contain TFA spoilers 😃

Not really when one doesn’t shoot at all, a better term would be preemptively shot. Though I’ll admit it doesn’t make as good of a t-shirt as “blah blah shot first”😛

War does not make one great.

Seeing Force ghosts might require a certain level of training or mindset. Luke first sees Ben when he’s close to death from freezing. He doesn’t see him again until he’s leaving Dagobah. It might also be a big expenditure of energy for a Force ghost to appear for any length of time.

Probably untrue trivia: the name of the planet Alderaan is actually a translation from the original Galach Basic name, Borduria.

Does anyone here own the 2015 BD Saga set? Does it still have Fox logos in TESB and ROTJ? Or is it 100% similar to the 2011 set, with no Disney connection anywhere?

The actual films are the same as far as I know, but I believe the Roman numeral episode numbers were removed from the physical discs themselves. Ultimately pretty meaningless, but people made an enormous deal about it in comment sections round the world.

Haha, that’s interesting. I’m just wondering if I should sell the 2011 and buy the new one because I hate that old packaging on my shelf. Not that I would watch the films themselves anyways.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

In my world of Star Wars, there was such a person as Qui-Gon. It’s just that he was never Obi-Wan’s master. And he was a lot younger than Obi-Wan. And he had no beard …

Ah, shucks – same rules apply as the above, I guess.

Just put it in storage or in the back of a closet. Problem solved.

That’s what I do. Along with putting them in my custom snarky Blu-ray Covers.

The packaging is ugly no matter where you put it. The new one is servicable and thinner.

Maybe now that the slave Leia outfit has been retired they’ll alter the next release of Jedi to make her appear to be wearing a sweatshirt and jeans while captured by Jabba the Hut.

I know, I see posts from a person who I’ve ignored.

It’s cool, I like when people who aren’t making sense ignore me.
