Those sort of statements essentially boil down to nerds having disagreements with Lucas' decisions, and then instatnly assuming he's evil. The guy's still passionate about his franchise. |
I think it's interesting to see how Lucas's ideas of acceptable characterization and storytelling change as he ages, though. The Han vs. Greedo scene is probably the best in the franchise for that; thirty-some years ago, Han shooting Greedo in the guts was daring and radical, a way to establish that even if he was a joking rogue, Han Solo was someone that you did not mess with. He had that air of potential ruthlessness to him, and it was established in that first scene.
The revision just shows that Lucas no longer finds that characterization acceptable, which is an interesting change - more interesting in Lucas than in Solo, though.
