Citizen Greedo

"The Rodian," coming soon to Disney+!

When Star Wars first came out in 1977, the first scene of Harrison Ford as Han Solo showed him shooting bounty hunter Greedo in cold blood. When Episodes IV through VI were packaged together XX years later, the scene had been edited to have Greedo shoot first and miss.

Now Disney has re-re-released the film on its Disney+ app with a curious new edit: after firing his shot, Greedo yells, "MACLUNKEY!" There are plenty of theories buzzing around the internet like so many drunken Toydarians, from the word being:

  • Rodian for "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die," or 
  • Midichlorian for "Oh, shit, I missed!" or 
  • the name of a Schaumburg high school linebacker.

Personally — spoiler alert — I think it was his sled.
