Also, we know the movies disappear from the streaming platform as soon as one of the actors in them gets in trouble. Cancel culture is literal. I guess soon with Deep fakes they'll just replace the actor.
That's the thing with our nice streaming world now, the movie you watched yesterday might not be exactly the movie you watched today.
At least with physical format what you have stays the same. The best example is Star Wars episode 4, how many versions of that movie exist?

Episodes 5 and 6 as well.. There have been lots of changes to those, but not because anyone did anything wrong, it was because George Lucas seemed to feel like he couldn't stop messing with them.

The greatest crime was adding to the ambiguity in Episode 4 that, without a _____

I bought the box set on VHS before the re-showing of the "enhanced" films appeared in theaters. When sitting in the theater, severl people freaked out when Han did not shoot first. Lucas explained that his kids were confused by Han shooting first, because he is a good guy. He could've explained he
created that scene to create the impression this guy may not be as good as they think.
Just mentioned this in my last reply. Lucas was looking at the re-edits from the view of a dad rather than that of a kid, and create less of a doubt that Han is a good guy. At that point in the film we're supposed to think he's a p irate not to be trusted.

It's a weird concept of "good guys." You know the guy in front of you is the to kill you, so what are you going to do? Let him shoot first in a gunfight? saw the original in theatre (I'm that old) and didn't have an issue with tha
And also I see it as an allegory of redemption. That you can in your life do sketchy and bad things and turn around and do good. In our cancel culture, i seems not impossible for someone to change and improve. What does it mean th "learning from our mistakes" if you're not allowed any?

I think somehow it was less simplistic and more real to have a character tha was "acting badly" because of the circumstances. You live in an oppressive society governed by an evil regime crushing your life and dream.
Sometimes in order to survive, you have to do reprehensible things.
again I'll quote doctor who:
Sometimes The Only Choices You Have Are Bad ones, but still, you have to choose.

Who would win in a gunfight - Malcolm Reynolds or Han Solo? :)

I thought that Han shooting first helped contrast his redemption in
the end.

There was a scene in The Walking Dead (a couple, actually) where Rick
goes from sizing someone up, being polite and non-confrontational, to
shooting one person, point-blank, shooting him again, and then
shooting his partner before he had a chance to react.
That level of decisive action is pretty shocking.

Being civil isn't a sign of weakness, and doesn't imply a person is incapable of great violence. Being polite is a preference.
