One of the biggest arguments over the last 20 or so years has been, "Who shot first?" and you're either in one party or the other. There's no "meh" with this one. So with Solo: A Star Wars Story coming out in a couple of days, the argument is back in full "Force." Ha! Like what I did there? Anyway, what would be the odds of a prequel answering a question about something that hasn't happened yet? Where's C3P0 when you need numbers done.
Okay, it won't necessarily answer it, but it will...kinda. Let me explain. Star Wars legend Lawrence Kasdan and his son Jon were the screen writers for this film and they both feel the same way about who shot who first. Passionately about it. So much so that they revealed in an interview with Uproxx that they addressed this argument directly in this film.
Lawrence Kasdan: Yeah. It was very important to me, like top of the list.
Jonathan Kasdan: To both of us. We are firmly in the camp. In the script, the description literally says, "There can be no doubt Han shot first."
Is it really that shocking? Lawrence wrote The Empire Strikes Back! Before George went all wonky with the CGI and flipped the script when the Original Trilogy was re-released into theaters! Han shot first. End of story. Lawrence has spoken. It's not just Lawrence and Jon saying this, but so did Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke, and Paul Bettany. How can so many people be wrong?
They haven't revealed exactly how they address this in the movie, but we will all find out in just a few days.
Where do you sit on this argument? Do you think Han shot first, or did Greedo shoot first? Let me know what you think about this in the comments section down below.
