Actually, both Greedo and Solo fired shots in the original. I have
the original Star Wars Trilogy on laserdisc, and it shows that Solo
*did* fire first...BEFORE Lucas re-edited the scene.

So, now that you know this, did Han shoot first? Even though in the
current version of Star Wars, he didn't?

Which version of the film is "true"?

"Sorry about the mess."

Greedo's shot hits the wall before Han's shot hits Greedo. I'll go with Han.
