The phrase refers specifically to Lucas's decision to have the death of Abraham Lincoln altered. Historically, John Wilkes Boothy crept into Lincoln's private balcony at Ford's Theatre, pulled out a gun, and shot the American President repeatedly in the head at point blank range. He then jumped from the balcony onto the stage and fled, shouting "Ow! Ow! Ow! My hip! Get outta my way bunghole! Or I'll kick your ass!"

abstract	The phrase refers specifically to Lucas's decision to have the death of Abraham Lincoln altered. Historically, John Wilkes Boothy crept into Lincoln's private balcony at Ford's Theatre, pulled out a gun, and shot the American President repeatedly in the head at point blank range. He then jumped from the balcony onto the stage and fled, shouting "Ow! Ow! Ow! My hip! Get outta my way bunghole! Or I'll kick your ass!" The scene was altered, however, in the 1997 Special Edition version of American History. In this new scene, Boothy was assisted by two other assassians of ethnic minorities, but Lincoln heard gunfire as they approached when they kill his guards, who were not present in the original scene. He grabbed an AK-47, and opened fire on the assassians, killing all but Boothy, who ultimately did take him down. It was again altered in the 2004 Special Edition. In this version, Lincoln again hears gunfire, but this time he draws a BFG/helicopter-size gatling gun, comments "Say 'ello to my litte friend" and opens fire upon his assassians, this time numbering at least a hundred. He kills most of them, but accidentally shoots Mary Todd Lincoln in the process, and is ultimately taken down when Booth shot him from behind.
