    I’m probably going to upset a few Star Wars fans with this, but in the original version that I saw of the New Hope / Ep4, both Han and Greedo have their blaster pistols drawn under the table, and Han shoots Greedo first.

    I’ve seen the entire internet argue about who shot first, but the irony is that if he didn’t shoot first he would get shot by Greedo and the story would end right there.

    It wasn’t murder, it was quickdraw. :)

      That’s the joke. Greedo shooting first was a poor edit made in later editions, because god forbid the smuggler plays a bit dirty sometimes. If you look closely Han’s head just shifts to the side like someone cut it out in Paint. It was the start of the downfall of the originals tragic remaster journey.
