The Star Wars Alphabet - H
Who shot first?

When choosing Han Solo, I knew I might cause the great debate that has turned into an Abbott and Costello type skit over the Greedo vs. Han shooting first. Regadless, this Corellian smuggler is such a vital part to the original trilogy.

He is what every guy wishes they could be. He drives a fast vehicle, has a great best friend, gets the girl and saves the day. His dry and cynical humor only adds to his character.

Han always seemed like the cool guy from school that did his own thing. Sometimes a loner and not running with the "in" crowd. He is a wanted man and on the run from bounty hunters and Jabba the Hutt.

Probably my favorite film part and many will agree is when Leia says "I love you" to which he replies "I know." That is too cool. Very pimp.

Thinking back to the Kenner days, I had the rather large headed Han figure, Hoth gear, and frozen in carbonite that came with Slave I. If you had the Falcon, you needed him to help fly the ship.

The only other thing/place in the "H" running - Hoth.

"I" hope to see you back here tomorrow.

p.s. My thought on who shot first? I don't know. I like the idea of him shooting first before Greedo can get a shot off, but I can go either way.

Good choice! Who shot first?.....ummmmmmm...Han, but I think that the Greedo shooting first idea isn't a bad turn of events. It works either way for me.

Han was the obvious choice and when you watch ANH (or at least the original version) you see he shoots first everywhere. That was sort of his character. I thought the point was that he changes as the Trilogy goes on. Anyway, Han is an excellent choice and how many long-time fans wouldn't have loved to see him use a lightsaber on more than just a Taun Taun (a lot of folks in 1980 thought Solo would be the "another").
