17. Wow! That video is pretty damning.

I always thought that Han was a scoundrel. I may have to rethink this...

4. the original, before Speilberg tinkered with it, shows Han Solo clearly...

...shooting first. the director chickened out, but a rebel like han would have no qualms about shooting first.

11. Speilberg tampered with a Lucas film?

The man has no shame.

5. I disagree.

Han was the ONLY one who shot. Greedo didn't have a chance. Sucker. :P

Oona goota, Solo?

7. Well wouldn't you shoot first if some sucker-tipped fingered dude...

Edited on Tue Nov-20-07 05:28 PM by texas1928

Was trying to take you prisoner. I mean every where he touched you could end up looking like you got a hicky and that's a lot s'plain'n to do at Boba's droid wash and whoopee parlor.

12. It was a little more urgent than that

Greedo had informed Han that he was going to kill Han and that Jabba would pay him whether Han was dead or alive.

Han acted rationally and in self defense. The two re-edits, Greedo shooting first and missing from two feet and both shooting simultaneously (Greedo still missing) make Han look like a suicidal idiot, which he clearly wasn't.

9. And what of the tumbling laser blast?

Nobody seems to be able to explain that, either.

28. On the sandy knoll

Greedo was a patsy. It was a mob hit orchesrated by Jabba the Hutt. Solo had been fooling around with that dancing slave girl of his, and he didn't take it well.
