...altered Han Solo-Greedo scene, for example, revises Han's behavior; and by implication his character, and some of the new Mos Eisley scenes add humor where none existed before.

"In America," says Kwan, "I am free to choose any definition oflife I please." Perhaps, but I certainly hope I am not free to act on any definition of life I please. A great many American citizens once held that people of darker skin tone were somehow less...
