We need to appreciate how Harrison Ford goes into the category of "being" Han Solo just like Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark and Ryan Reynolds IS Wade Wilson/Deadpool.

Who out of these characters shot first?
A: Han Solo

D: Obi-Wan Kenobi
I await your answers.

It honestly makes much more sense that Han shot first. What kind of bounty hunter would miss his shot at that close a range without having his guts fried the moment he pulls the trigger.

I got #10 for everyone to read. There was a scene shot but never fully done where Han is sitting at the table with a human woman sitting by him or on his lap and Ben Kenobi with Luke, walks over to talk to Solo. Han tells the girl to take off so he can talk "business" with these people. She gets up, Han does to and she walks away. Hen then says to Ben that he hasn't seen a weapon like that, (meaning the Light Saber) in years/from way back when Han was a kid.  Then Solo moves past Ben to sit down. This scene is right before Han says his own name and tells Ben & Luke he is the Captain of The Falcon.

Ok... The Indiana Jones/Star Wars/Bigfoot story is actually kinda cool!

Here one more: Some of his lines in Episode IV during the Death Star prison scene on the intercom were improvised. Also his "I know" to Leia in Episode V wasn't scripted either.

Did they REALLY say "Unfortunately" Han didn't get shown as a kid getting raised by Chewey?  Unfortunately??  Like....that would have made sense or been cool in the least?  Does George Lucas realize that space is like, you know, huge?  People don't all know each other. I hope these guys were being sarcastic.

I came to this comment section to cry my eyes out...

'I don't know and I don't care' just shows you how much they really (don't) for the fans or the character .

In the original Star wars, not only did Han shoot first, Han was the only one that shot.

Little Annie, little Boba, little Greedo.

It's official, star wars exists in the same universe as Indiana Jones. Now all I want is a crossover with them both ALIVE.

Han rescued Chewey from the Empire on his home planet. THAT story and a few more of a younger Han before IV would be great to see in a spin off movie.

[Cyber_PunkBJJ]

it was confirmed that Han shot first in the original script.

whoaa the indiana jones/sasquatch one totally blew my mind

[tskwared]

I don't know why people get so upset when franchises disregard expanded universes. It's literally stories other people just plain made up about the universe. If I draw a picture of the Millennium Falcon flying above dinosaurs on Earth, and just say this happened in the Star Wars universe, does that make it part of the story? No. You can't make fan fiction and claim it to be part of the same story. Only the owners of the content can add to the official universe, or grant authenticity to writers saying that it is part of it.

The reason it's ridiculous to have greedo shoot 1st is this; greedo was a seasoned bounty hunter, he was 2 feet away from han. If greedo shot 1st, it would be stupid to think he would miss. It wouldn't make sense. It fits han's rogue like gun slinging "space cowboy" personality to shoot 1st.

[IgnemFeram]

The reason why I think Han shot first: I have the 1995 video release of the Original Trilogy, Greedo doesn't shoot at all. In a script that was recovered in a Canadian library a few months ago, it says that Han shoots Greedo and Greedo doesn't shoot at all.

To all you kids that are confused, the version of Star Wars that you've been watching your entire lives isn't the original. The 1995 release does have changes. It is remastered and the opening text scroll was changed to accommodate for the (then only conceptualized) Prequel Trilogy. That's pretty much it.

I guess I better throw out my, "Han shot 1st, " T-shirt
