[Souper]

Let's vote and see who you guys think shot first!

You should change the title of the thread before a mod mistakes it for a political thread.

Han shot first, like any proper stuck up half- witted scruffy looking nerf herder would do.

Best,

Han shot, but it was not first.

Saying he shot first implies that someone else fired afterwards.

Greedo got shot first.

Also how does the barman get rid of the body? Does he just walk up to a stormtrooper and say' bar fight, Nuff said'? Poor barman.

Well, seeing as Mos Eisley is the most wretched hive of scum and villainy you can ever find, there's probably a thriving body disposal business.

No "table shot first" option. Actually, I voted Han, since that scene is an important point in character development.

I was there, on opening weekend, in 1977. I saw it three times in the theaters. Take my word for it: Han shot first.

Han shot first, but only if you take timezones into account.

Well, lasers travel at the speed of light, so han saw the shot at the same time as he shot, so they both shot at the same time. Now, if you were in a train traveling at the speed of light, the laser would look rep, because of the Doppler effect. Also, han's shot would never reach greedo.

i dont think blasters are actually lasers.

Well, the principles apply to degraded sub-light blasters, too, since they act exactly as if they were traveling at light speed, except not.

I am sick of this debate! I refuse to take part in this riff-raff!

Deep in stage two, arent we?

[rtxoff]

Why not ask the movie studios?

[Norpo]

Alderaan shot first, obviously:

but seriously i don't care what george lucas said han shot first, it makes more sense from a storyline standpoint and as i recall greedo was already threatening him

[InterCity]

Han shot first. He's too badS to let something happen to him.
