You are correct, in the original edit Solo did shoot Greedo first. If I'm remembering correctly Lucas didn't like the way it made Han look like a sleezy smuggler (which I always thought that was who he was) so they changed it in the Special Edition and turned Greedo into the worst shot in the galaxy... come on, how is he going to miss someone from just a few feet away. But anyway, that was supposed to make it appear like it was self defense, not cold blooded murder.
: : I just want to thank you for making me feel like Im not the only Star Wars freak out there. When Ben Afleck's character in J&SB Strikes Back says "That was the worst call since Greedo shot first", I exploded in applause.

: I don't want to challenge something I'm not sure about especially since I don't know my star wars a hundred percent, but I did catch the line by Ben Affleck and I always thgouht that Han Solo shot first and killed Greedo in the bar?
: Please let me know if i'm mixing the scene up.
