MACLUNKEY! There were a few irregularities when Disney+ launched earlier this week, notably the streaming service's
dubious presentation of
The Simpsons, one of the most popular television programs of all time. But none were as apparently inexplicable as a new bit of dialogue that made it into yet another edit of the original
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope — a revision that debuted without fanfare when Disney+ launched. In this latest version, previously unseen by
Star Wars fans, bounty hunter
Greedo shouts something that sounds like "Maclunkey!" (it's not subtitled) right before attempting to kill handsome space pirate
Han Solo. George Lucas apparently made the change at some point after the most recent DVD release of
Star Wars but before the Lucasfilm catalog was acquired by Disney. Twitter,
which found it hilarious, had a field day with it. In this video, IGN compares versions of the film and explains why the
Star Wars creator was never able to leave the iconic scene alone.
