Kathleen Kennedy showed unedited Star Wars - Han Solo shot first

Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy showed the "first attempt" of the 1977 Star Wars film, which was surrounded by myths. One of its most famous features is the scene with Han Solo.

This copy, which was considered lost for decades, was presented at the BFI Film on Film Festival in the UK. It turned out that a copy of the very first film was kept in the archives of the BFI (British Film Institute), which found a version and approached Lucasfilm to organize a screening. BFI chief executive Ben Roberts called the discovery a "miracle", especially as its condition allowed it to be shown publicly.

The appearance of Kathleen Kennedy at the film festival was unexpected, confirming the originality of the version. According to her, most likely there is no other very first copy.
