Again suggesting Han was in the clear to shoot. Anyone puts a gun in your face it gives YOU the right to shoot first, it is called self defense. Why is that so hard to grasp? No matter WHAT if a person is threatening your life and you shoot them it is self defense period.
TJ Spyke:
No, it doesn't give you the right. And it wasn't in his face, he was across the table. The changes in the 1997 and 2004 edits totally change his character and make his change mean almost nothing. Han was not justified in shooting his fellow smuggler, he was NOT acting in "self defense".

Yes, it does. Greedo posed a physical threat by drawing and aiming his gun. Han was acting in self defense. Unless the Catina world has some pussy "duty-to-retreat" law, I'd say Han was completely in the right to use deadly force.
TJ Spyke:
No, it doesn't. Han was an asshole to begin with, and he was NOT acting in self defense. And pussy law? I would hope Catina does not have one of those savage "shoot people I think are threatening me" laws that let you kill someone for looking at you wrong by claiming you thought they were gonna attack you.

Holy Christ people... if you're going to try to argue Star Wars as if you know anything about it, at least get the planet names right. It's not "Cantina Planet" or anything of the sort. It's friggin' Tatooine. I mean, I could understand not knowing the name of the planet if it was some weird planet that was mentioned for three seconds and never brought up again... But we're talking TATOOINE. One of, like, three planets that appear in multiple films and are relevant to the plot in any way, shape or form.
Before you start arguing about the personality traits of Star Wars characters, try getting to know the movies.
Hell, I'm not even a Star Wars "fan" and I know that much.
