Han Solo shot first. Screw any of the remakes or special editions he was a pirate and was just protecting himself from an even more dangerous pirate.
Nope. Sorry but you're just wrong. "Han shot first" implies Greedo shot second. And he most certainly did not. Han shot, Greedo died. Green fucker with finger suckers didn't even get a shot off.
To even have Greedo shoot reflexively as he dies fundamentally changes Han from cold blooded to standing his ground. To have Greedo miss a 3ft shot so Han can justify a response is just laughably bad. Hanβs redemption (returning any the end to save the day) is cheapened by the fact that heβs not the cold blooded, do anything to survive, scum of Moss Eisley as he was in the original theatrical release.
Preach. Han shot first? Nah. Han shot.
Jesus christ guys, can you mark this as a spoiler for those of us that haven't got round to watching this yet /s
