Why does Han shoot my Greedo first?

Which is ****. If someone has a gun drawn on you and is talking about how much they will enjoy seeing you die, I think at that point it is ok to consider firing first as an act of self defense. It doesn't make Han a cold blooded killer. It makes Han a bad **** like he is supposed to be throughout the movie.

Exactly.

Old guard here as well. I had mixed feelings about EP7. First off... they killed Han (the single greatest character of my childhood outside of Blondie in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy) and while I understand it from a plot standpoint, part of me didn't like it. That said, overall I thought 7 had great pacing, cinematography, and interesting new characters (though Kylo was mediocre - but I may be biased because I already had thought Adam Driver stunk as an actor given his work on Girls). Had I never seen ep4 or 6, I would have considered it a fantastic movie. However, I did see them so I really wish the overarching plot had been a little bit different than "we need to destroy this giant planet killing weapon with tiny ships". Anything else! Overall though, ep7 got me excited about watching what is sure to be 1 Disney movie a year in the Star Wars universe from now until I die.
