The two men in the shot are George Lucas and Harrison Ford, on the Indy 4 set.
Here’s a better look at the shirt that Lucas is wearing.
Remember the 1997 “Special Edition” of Star Wars? Forget it.

At first glance I thought it was Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir.

I seen Star Wars as a kid when it came out,
yep were all getting older.
Now the shirt;isn,t it sending the wrong message
to liberal,s by liberal,s.

Han did shoot first.
And he won.
That’s why Han Solo was the best character in any movie. EVER.
Good Lt on July 25, 2007 at 11:33 PM
Ah! That’s awesome, I clicked on this post just to check it, and boy did you deliver Byran. Awesome.
Spirit of 1776 on July 25, 2007 at 11:36 PM
Yeah, its like the Indy scene where the guy is waving the sword around… and he pulls his gun and shoots him…
or… don’t bring a knife to a gun fight…

Lucas rewrites his own first, truest instinct and lives to regret it.
As Nietzsche said in “Twilight if the Idols”: “Do not perpetuate cowardice upon your own acts. Do not leave them in the lurch afterwards. …it is indecent.”
As feckless as rewriting a diary.

Just looking for another reason to post this…

LOL, forest wins the thread.
infidel4life on July 26, 2007 at 2:00 AM
Great…..just great……took me forever to get that IJ poster out of the bedroom…..now she is just going to make me dig it out of the attic and put it back up. Great….thanks Mr. Lucas. Tig-a-frat-a-rag-a-rigga….

And in 15-20 years he’ll alter the photo so it says “Greedo Shot First,” and he’ll sell it and stupid nerds will buy it.
Jim Treacher on July 26, 2007 at 4:12 AM
Hollywood types never fail to disappoint.
Zorro on July 26, 2007 at 6:55 AM
So how far into nerd-dom must one fall to care about this?
conservnut on July 26, 2007 at 7:10 AM
Nerdy enough to think one scene ruined Han Solo’s character. And nerdy enough to whine about it for ten years.
Keljeck on July 26, 2007 at 7:20 AM
Heh. Yup.
Bryan on July 26, 2007 at 8:21 AM
Good grief. So in the next episode, Indy finds a group of hundred year old Nazis’ down Paraguay way and runs them over with his power chair Buddy cart?
Harrison is a bit long in the tooth to be in love scenes with women under fifty.
I thought it was Ben and Gerry until I read the notes.
Hening on July 26, 2007 at 8:26 AM
Irony, thy name is Lucas
Viewtifulgare on July 26, 2007 at 8:34 AM
No, that honor goes to another character that Harrison Ford tried to ruin, Maj. Mallory from the Guns of Navarone (anyone remember that horrible “Force Ten From Navoarone”? Didn’t think so)
srhoades on July 26, 2007 at 8:38 AM
Upon further reflection I retract this statement. The greatest character from a movie EVER was Sgt. John M. Stryker in the Sands of Iwo Jima.
srhoades on July 26, 2007 at 8:47 AM
See? Even theatrical revisionist history sucks, doesn’t it! No one likes it. The PCifying of “Blade Runner” is another blatant example of PC just ruining a once great film. It’s odd, too. Harrison Ford starred in both…

it was said beform I must say it again. IRONIC.
GREENTURTLE on July 26, 2007 at 9:05 AM
Remember when Spielberg pulled the guns outta the movie ET and replaced them with flashlights? It’s one thing to apologize and it’s another to try alter the course of history.
wryteacher on July 26, 2007 at 9:06 AM
wryteacher-
I heard Spielberg is thinking about doing the same switcheroo for future releases of “Saving Prvate Ryan”.
(For “Schindler’s List” they’ll be morphed into scary-looking fruit.)
profitsbeard on July 26, 2007 at 9:16 AM
The bigger question is have the nerdyboys forgiven Master Lucas for Howard The Duck?
allie on July 26, 2007 at 9:58 AM
Howard the Duck? We still haven’t forgiven him for Phantom Menace.

South Park provides guidance and wisdom on this matter:

Joey1974 on July 26, 2007 at 10:28 AM
Is there any question in contemporary America that can’t be answered by South Park?
I say no.
Good Lt on July 26, 2007 at 11:17 AM
To be honest, I mainly watch The Phantom menace only to see R2D2 repair the hyperdrive during the Queen’s escape and Darth Maul’s double bladed saber.
allie on July 26, 2007 at 11:29 AM
I also say no they have it all covered and most of it correctly too.
Joey1974 on July 26, 2007 at 11:37 AM
I prefer Rutger Hauer as “Nick Randall” in Wanted: Dead or Alive. Now that was a guy who knew how to get the job done.

“These aren’t the ‘droids we’re looking for.”
RMCS_USN on July 26, 2007 at 12:52 PM
Actually, it might surprise many of you to know that Lucas is an avid trap and skeet shooter who hangs with the likes of Tom Selleck(sp?) and collects very expensive shotguns. But shhhhhh, this is one of those ‘Hollywood’s best kept secrets’ ;)

Sample dialog for retro-release of STAR WARS (originally episode 1, now episode 4), digitally re-mastered in colorized black and white, with all trick wires returned to all flying space ship models, using the first draft of the original screenplay.

It’s wonderful to be with another Jedi again. There are so few of us left.
The cute aide goes back to her duties, flirting with Annikin as she passes. The young warrior pinches her on the ass, which startles her, but she goes on like nothing happened.
GENERAL
What a sight!
The two Jedi stand looking at one another, hardly believing the other is real.

Ed Wood’s “Plan Nine From Outer Space” is next!

I did get a chance to meet Mr. Lucas during the filming of Howard the Duck. The film crew was blocking the road near my home in Marin County, CA and he personally apologized to me and my wife for the delay. But he has never apologized for the actual movie.
Zaire67 on July 26, 2007 at 3:47 PM
Don’t tell that to his wife, Calista the stick.

I love that movie.
Han fired first!
Freelancer on July 26, 2007 at 6:22 PM
Freelancer-
Here’s Lucas’ original description of the first appearance of Han Solo in his original draft of the screenplay:
“Han Solo…is a huge, green-skinned monster with no nose and large gills.”
A little rewrite and it turned into Harrison Ford.
profitsbeard on July 26, 2007 at 9:59 PM
Nerd paradise! Sheesh. I grew up with SW as a kid just like the next person. I’m also a geek. I’ve never been a SW nerd.
