Greedo Agrees that Han Shot First

The iconic Cantina scene in 1977's 'Star Wars' shows Rodian bounty hunter, Greedo, attempting to cash in on Han Solo's bounty. Shots are exchanged, and Greedo is killed. The special edition changes the events of the altercation, switching the first shot that was fired. So, WHO SHOT FIRST?

Paul Blake, the actor that played the Rodian bounty hunter in that iconic scene, recently shed some light on the topic with the Daily News.

“Of course, in it said it all in the original script,” said Blake. “We played in the scene in English and at the end of the scene, it reads, ‘Han shoots the alien.’ It’s all it says and that’s what happened. It was very painful.”

“He was a bit inept wasn’t he?” joked Blake about Greedo’s poor aim in subsequent editions of “Star Wars.” “He’s a worse shot than a stormtrooper. I don’t think Jabba had him under a pension plan, let’s put it that way. It would be lovely to see them go back to the original version. I much preferred it, I must say. And it does give it Greedo a little more glory if he’s just blown away.”

Which scoundrel do YOU believe actually shot first?
