Who shot First?

Hey nobody asked for the cold biotchslap of life to be introduced into this thread!!!!

Interesting poll results...

I guess it demonstrates that passively letting someone else offer us a relatively fast death if we resist in a more predictable fashion or a slow and painful death at the hands of a terminally vengeful employer just isn't a good deal to go along with, and most of us understand that!

Wow, poll kind of one-sided, eh?

Han was a disreputable scoundrel; it is well within his character to shoot first. Additionally, I think that you could have interpreted Greedo as "threatening" him....I guess it depends on what the status of Stand-Your-Ground laws are in Mos Eisley.

I would've shot first too but I wouldn't have paid for the mess. You can clean up your own trash since you let it in your place.

I don't speak Greedo, but I think I can make out his last words... something like "Han, I know you like to shoot first, so please don't shoot me. I want to be friends." then Han Says "I bet you do" and BLAMMO!

He was being held at gunpoint by a hostile opponent, who likely would have shot him anyway - if he were given the chance. Han did the right thing, at the right moment - how is that NOT respectable?

Ding Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner folks!

Doesn't shoot at all

I chose Han shot second but got lucky. I would have shot first. I guess that's because it's what I remember the last time I watched Star Wars. (Stupid newer versions that change classis scenes for the worse.)

I didn't check the poll results before I voted. ... not that anyone would do that..

Heh.

Cheers

Once again proving that OC'ing didn't cause him to be shot first!!!!!!

Let the REAL BATTLE BEGIN NOW!!!!

Mos Eisley is lawless therefore to defend yourself, you must also act as if you are lawless. Survival is obeying the law of your heart.

I was still in college when my grandfather passed away. However, he left me with much wisdom; such as he who hesitates dies. He was a WWI Combat Veteran of the Argonne Forest.

So, if a lethal looking weapon is pulled on me, I would shoot first. :>)

ps: I have a numbered German Luger that has been traced back to a German Officer who fought in the Argonne Forest engagement at the time of my Grandfather Haas (on the US side not Germany). :>) I gave it to my youngest Nephew. He is named after me and Grandpa Haas.

God Bless America.
