The Cellar - View Single Post - George Lucas admits Han shot first (sort of)

Apparently this is the significance.

What’s to get? Geeks think it’s funny that the guy who created Star Wars, thus also having created Han Solo, was wearing a t-shirt referencing Han Solo while talking to the man who played the character Han Solo in the movie.
It’s an inside joke that many people get. It’s hillarious really.
It’s like when a guy named ‘George’ was a guest on the Colbert Report for having made a video spoof using Stephen Colbert’s own footage of himself doing lightsaber moves. ‘George’ being George Lucas - the man who created the lightsaber in the first place! Ha!

It’s funny because George is the guy who altered his own movies to make Han NOT shoot first. Meh didn’t seem to get it.

That's from the comments below the article.

I don't really get it myself although I think I have an idea about it being something to do with the last three movies comming first etc and there must be some pop culture reference to han solo's character being manipulated.

Maybe there's a star wars freak out there who can inform us better?
