Not in the original. It was changed when they added to the movie, when it was re-released again the theaters. Lucas didn't like Han being thought of as a cold blooded killer.
It pisses the Star wars fanboys off. Go try it.I do it to my friends all the time. It's like saying Kirk was a horrible Capt, or Spock was a twit.
It gets the fan boys riled up. Same with Apple ones.."WINDOWS IS THE BEST!" *Insert Mac fanboys heads exploding from anger*
In case you want to read more on it, I was kind enough to include a link. Han shot first - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From George Lucas: "The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down."
An this thread is still AUsome. I blame the rest for starting the hijacking. Silly trekkies.
