A new cut of the StarWars film allows the bounty hunter to get a final word in—thanks to George Lucas

)Tuesday has brought yet another change to this scene. Han and Greedo still blast each other at about the same time , but now before the triggers are pulled Greedo gets a final word—and that word, to the ears of many, sounds like “Maclunkey!”Whatever the Rodian actually yelled is not revealed by the subtitles, but the change has reopened an old wound in the Star Wars fandom.

Even though Lucas has stepped aside after selling Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, it’s impossible to consider that anyone except him would have tinkered with a single frame of his movie without his blessing, and the company confirmed this was a change he made at least seven years ago. Reaction to the change has been largely negative, but we still don’t know exactly what it means or why Lucas felt it was necessary.

Although Star Wars aficionados appear to universally dislike the change, they’re still having some fun with it.All products featured on Vanity Fair are independently selected by our editors.
