Damn, this is driving me nuts! I remember distinctly seeing the restored, original Han/Greedo footage somewhere on the bonus disc, but now can’t find the damn thing. Can anyone tell me where the hell it is?

It might be in the Empire Of Dreams documentary, but I only remember seeing a snippet of it.

I'm almost sure it's not in there.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Well, there's certainly the shot on the DS of Han chasing the troops into a dead end (which is gonna be helpfull for what I'm working on), but I still can't see the cantina footage...but DAMn, I was SURE I saw it....guess I'm gonna have to sit down and watch the whole thing again.

I'm watching through it right now... (30-40 min a night) so I will let you know definitively if it's in there in, say, three days.

Thanks, I'm starting to doubt my sanity, though. I think the whole thing may have been a beautiful dream....

If you watch from 1:15 to 1:20, or thereabouts, there is a quick clip of a smoking Greedo falling forward onto the table. Not the whole scene though :/ It's during the portion where they are talking about the public's first exposure to the completed film.

I will let you know if it pops up again sometime, but I'm guessing that's it.

Well, we used to have several threads on that topic but I guess they got cleaned out. One was a mock trial where Han was being tried for shooting Greedo without provocation. Another talked about 10 things Han shot that didn't shoot him first. Another was a JFK conspiracy thing talking about why Greedo missed from 3 feet away.

I think you'll find everyone is not pleased with that... disgraceful... change.
