This is the scene that made Star Wars. The music, the weird menagerie of alien characters, the rough Old West vibe, Kenobi and Solo calmly and quietly kicking ass. Just perfect.

I think this was the scene that really introduced people to Star Wars back in 1977. Almost every character and sentient being up until this point had been human (except for the droids, Jawas and Tuskens, but at least the latter two had the distinction of being vaguely humanoid), but then suddenly, we enter this cantina, and we're instantly introduced to all of the colourful and different alien species within the vast universe that is Star Wars.

2:50 I like how the cantina patrons all cheer when the band starts playing the song, like it's a fan favourite. Just a small detail that makes the world seem lived-in lol

[jacobmetz]

I love the "lawlessness" of this scene. Obi Wan cuts down two guys, and no one else skips a beat. Just "back to our drinks and I guess someone will be along shortly to take care of the mess." Same thing when Han blows Greedo away. At least Han apologized for the 'mess' and flipped the bartender a tip. Total class!!

Saw this with my mom when it first came out in 77. I was 11. Mom died two years later from cancer. I'll always remember watching with her
By far my favorite star wars episode

[Ironfootx]

Han shooting first is a critical element of the character's dynamic nature. This scene makes his eventual transformation from a heartless outlaw to a selfless hero an emotional journey for the audience to experience throughout the trilogy.

[TheSteveTheDragon]

Yes! The original unadulterated scene! Excellent!

[NighT-WolF]

3:19 Obi-Wans face expression is just perfect. He doesn't believe a single word Han says while Luke still listens in fascination. I also love the close up of his face one scene later. It is so powerful and shows how his mind goes into a dozen different directions at the same time.

"I have a death sentence in 12 systems"


Obi Wan: "I have a death sentence in every system"

[midknight]

This is how I always preferred it. Even if Han shot first, he was _still_ defending himself because Greedo was _already_ holding him at gunpoint, intent on collecting his head. And Han _was_ trying to talk his way out of it first.

[happisakshappiplace.]

Han didn't fire first. He was the ONLY ONE to fire. Greedo didn't get a shot off.

[paulp]

I was 11 when this came out. Dad took us to see it and it was literally out of this world to us kids, still love it to this day

[mandalorestudios]

I prefer this scene over the remastered version!!!

[josephsmith]

Can you believe this movie was made almost 44 years ago?

[giantskunk]

Always loved the way Obi Wan looked around while brandishing his light saber as if saying “anybody else got a problem?”

[bananadaily]

i don’t care if harrison ford hated Han Solo, he was a great pick for him

[ModelOmegaForReal]

Nearly everyone stops and looks at Obi (including the music) when he cuts off that guy's arm

Nobody bats an eye and the music doesn't skip a beat when Han wastes Greedo right there

Really shows how mysterious and frightening a jedi is at this point in the series- or when this first came out, to the audiance.

[valuedhumanoid]

This was powerful stuff for an 8 year old boy. I remember leaving the theater with my family and just in awe of what I had just watched. I entered a new world and been there ever since

[sandremo]

Obi wan: *cuts off some dude’s arm*
Everyone: oh no! Anyways
Droid: *enters the cantina*
Everyone: NO DROIDS ALLOWED

Han Solo and this scene is the reason I got into STAR WARS in the first place. I remember I went to a friends house when I was like 12 and he was playing the movie and this scene was playing. Han’s coolness, confidence and charisma won me over. I ended up watching the entire rest of the movie and was instantly hooked on Star Wars by the end of it.
