SteveThaiBinh Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Am I supposed to know what this is about? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Angry Sherpa Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 ..... In the cantina in Mos Eisley space port Greedo, a Rodian bounty hunter, stops Han Solo and is smug about having caught him. A conversation ensues between the two, all the while Greedo still has his blaster pointed at Han. What he doesn't realize is that Han has gotten his blaster out of its holster and is aiming it at Greedo under the table, where Greedo can't see the blaster. The question being asked is who shot first. By not reconizing that you have shamed Star Wars geeks all the world over.
SteveThaiBinh Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Oh, I know. It was Kristen. Or possibly Maggie? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
jaguars4ever Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Everyone sensible knows damn well that Han shot first. Only Lucas' continual bastardization of the OT are trying to shift this 'villainous' trait to poor innocent Greedo. The way is was in its original unedited state provided the best character arc for Han - at first starting out as a selfish roque in Ep IV, then developing a begrudging loyalty for our heroes (masked under the illusion of credtis), before standing up for the good of the Rebellion against tyranny in Ep. VI.
Gorth Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Yeah, cut the revisionistic crap, we saw it back in 1977, Han murdered Greedo in cold blood “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Angry Sherpa Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Well, Greedo did have a blaster pointed at him and was planning on taking him to Jabba, so it was entirely in cold blood.
Rambutaan Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Yeah I voted for Han. I mean if Greedo DID shoot first, he was a terribly bad shot at point blank range...
Gorth Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Well, Greedo did have a blaster pointed at him and was planning on taking him to Jabba, so it was entirely in cold blood. Well, there is sort of a difference between wanting to force somebody at gunpoint to do something, giving them fair warning that deadly force may be applied if they don't comply and then killing them outright with no warning. Anyway, I liked the original unedited movies way better... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Angry Sherpa Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Yeah I voted for Han. I mean if Greedo DID shoot first, he was a terribly bad shot at point blank range... <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Gorth Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Yeah I voted for Han. I mean if Greedo DID shoot first, he was a terribly bad shot at point blank range... I don't agree, but that was comedy gold “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Angry Sherpa Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Not saying I do either. Han shot first. But I got it from this site: http://www.arts.mcgill.ca/programs/polisci...exb/greedo.html

Angry Sherpa Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 I think it was really one of those Trandoshan bounty hunters that Vader hired in Empire.
jshall101 Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Greedo Shoots First sounds like a bad porn movie.......
Darth Abomination Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I think the only way for us to settle this once and for all is for everyone one of us to download the original unedited Star Wars, turn off all the lights make some pop corn have a few beers and watch it!!!
Judge Hades Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Han shot first. I didn't see it back in 1977, but I saw the originals back in the mid 90's. The Revision is crap. The revisions in all three movies are crap. The prequels are crap. Its Lucas' baby so he can crap on it if he wants to but that is just piss poor way to do it.
Kissamies Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Heh yeah, fun page. Here's a pretty interesting page about changes. Be sure to check that "Greedo Shoots First" comic. SODOFF Steam group.
Laozi Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 The whole back and to the right thing was pretty damn funny, ah remember how the military and the FBI conspired with arms manufactures to prolong the Vietnam War really is great for a good chuckle. They can get to anybody hahahahahahahahahaha uhhhhhh....... :'( :'( :'( :'( People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Reminds me of the Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles - he's so fast you can't even see him do it! :D
