Not in the 're-mastered" versions.  IF you can find an original VCR type version Han shot first, in the later versions he did not.

That was Whittle's point....Lucas, (a big Lib), didn't want Han portrayed as an un-moral killer....So he "re-mastered" it so Greedo was seen missing his shot from across the table by a country mile and Han taking him out in the Cantina.

Although if watched to the end he does offer a clip into the new Act Of Valor movie with real SEALS as actors...and from reviews, is pretty anti Hollywood.

There is a DVD release that has both versions.

Lucas, in an act of Righteous Vindication, left that version in a small scale while visually enhancing the phony version for wide screen viewing.   I guess if you want the original content, you get stuck with the original format too.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Remember when Spielberg - another Hollyweird libtard - modified ET to remove all of the bad nasty guns from the cops' hands and replace them all with walkie-talkies? What is it with these butt wipes?

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

IIRC, Greedo actually threatened Han, stopped him from leaving the cantina using a gun, and then basically saying he would kill Han and take the money. Only a libtard like Lucas would think that is NOT justifiable grounds to "shoot first".

Han shot first? Oh yeah. As a kid watching the movie for the first time at the theater, I knew Han shot first. Otherwise his character would have ended right there.

Love the Act of Valor clip. Really looking forward to this movie.

Of course Han shot first, my question is why he took so long to do it!!
