[Star Wars] Why is it "Han shot first" when Greedo never shot at all?
gpt
1977 release: Han shot Greedo before Greedo ever fired.

1997 release: Greedo shot at Han, missed, and Han fired back, killing Greedo

2004 release: They fire nearly simultaneously, Greedo misses, Han doesn't


The whole "Han shot first" thing came about after the 1997 edits. George Lucas was trying to make Han less of a "cold blooded killer" so as to make him more heroic, but that's not the Han that the fans love, so they kinda compromised with a "Well they both shot and Han won it." kinda deal.

I think they made the shots closer together even more for the Blu-Ray release.

Either way, real fans know that true canon is that Han made the first (and only) shot.
