Newest Acquistion: Mutt and Junkyard 25th

I finally found Mutt and Junkyard. I had been looking for this one for a few weeks. I got most of the rest of the wave a while back.

Why would Greedo shoot first?

This is a question that has bothered me for a few years. Han kills Greedo but according to the fan boys of Star Wars, Greedo shot first. There is a very good reason Greedo would have shot first. I never hear any one talk about the reason that Greedo would have shot first. I just hear about the shot. Everyone thinks that it is a effects mistake. I do not think that is the reason why Greedo shoots.

Greedo does not want to kill Han. Greedo is trying to warn Han not to try anything. Greedo shoots up above Han's head. It is meant as a warning shot to Han to not try anything. Unfortunately, Han has great reflexes. Han reacts to the warning shot by shooting and killing Greedo. 

Greedo would get less money for the bounty if he kills Han. Jabba wants Han alive. Why else would Boba Fett go to that much trouble in "Empire Strikes Back" to get the bounty on Han Solo? Greedo makes a mistake. He does not realize that Han does not like being shot at by anyone. If Greedo had not shot, Greedo might still be alive. Of course, for drama, Greedo dying is the better storyline.

And that is the reason that I think Greedo shot first.
