George Lucas loves to edit his films, in fact he loves editing his films so much he seams to put out a new edit every few years. We all remember arguing "who shot first?" when a new edit of A New Hope had Greedo fire his blaster a few seconds before Han. The Star Wars community drew a line in the sand as Lucas had rewritten history and changed the story.
That was a few years ago now and nobody who had a job really cared what the answer turned out to be. However, George is at it again and while this time he hasn't edited the film he has flipped the Star Wars universe up-side-down with a shocking behind-the-scenes picture of a female Greedo.
This one photo changed the way we see Greedo and Han forever. Han Solo the cool smuggler and captain of the Millenium Falcon is now a cold blooded lady killer who has been lowered to the ranks of Young Anakin Skywalker, the kind of guys who kill women, children and other helpless weak creatures. Greedo as a lady changes everything and now that you know, you will never forget.
Since the Greedo in heels scandal cast and crew alike have been recalling their time with Lucas on the set of Star Wars, later to be known as A New Hope. Other people working along side the crazy director have spoken out about the mad and bad ideas of George Lucas as they had to convince him that he was making a transsexual space adventure that would alienate 1970's audiences. George wanted Luke's journey to becoming a Jedi to also include a sex change operation while scenes involving hard core bondage in the bar on Tatooine had to be removed.
More photos have surfaced of the wild times during filming, including a photo where Lucas himself is seen sporting his own hot stilettos.
Mark Hamill recalls trying to ask Lucas why he would continue to turn up on set in high heels or other times when dressed in a mini skirt and boob tube, but George would only reply with "I'm a film maker not a math teacher." which only confused Mark Hamill. Mark also noted times when Lucas would stare are blue and green paint samples as he tried to imagine ways they could be used in the set. Lucas originally wanted only blue and green colours to be used for every prop, backdrop and costume but was talked into making just the light sabers those colours.
Harrison Ford also had problems with Lucas however admitted that the mini skirt was much cooler to film in then the hot and sweaty Storm-trooper outfit.
While Lucas was never able to see his dreams fully realized he did manage to put the Jedi in robes that look much like dresses in his eyes and for that he was grateful.
