Chantry Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Bit too pricey for me! The auction house is estimating between $300,000-$500,000 PLUS the 24% buyers commission. I'm not even worth that much dead. Link: https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/86/1247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly considering it is not even arguably original, and on top of that just shooting blanks. Feel the force, Luke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original version Greedo did not get a shot off, in the updated version IV* Greedo gets a shot off that hits the wall above Han's left shoulder. *For episodes IV-VI added some minor scenes, added things with CGI that they couldn't do in 1977, cleaned up some minor mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moves him from scumbag smuggler to good guy prince. If he only returns fire when shot at he starts off the good guy and has zero character growth. I have all the versions and in the latest digital version greedo holle xixexrbble or some such, and if they wanted digital rework couldn't they have at least made greedos blaster shot go straight not at some wierd angle? HAN SHOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAN SHOT. Don't forget the fact that Han suddenly grew a double-jointed neck that allowed him to move his head sideways to avoid the shot. Of course he didn't need to, because Greedo's pistol must've had a bent barrel to shoot several inches off to the side from just two feet away. The poor CGI guys who reworked that scene must've really been rolling their eyes when George Lucas told them to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Ron Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Howdy, I went to this movie with friends and had a great time. This was before home theater and all the stop action and criticism of each detail. FUN movies. Did you know American Graffiti largely financed this movie? Or so Ive heard. It might be fun to make a look alike. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 One would think that as much money as they make in that auction house, they would get better audio equipment. I could understand about half of what that man was saying. Either the microphone sucks or he needs some serious training on how to use one.
