I just finished reading From A Certain Point Of View (a collection of short stories from various characters in '77 Star Wars for those who don’t read novels) and there were several stories based in the cantina. Every single one has Han shooting Greedo and every time the scene plays out as it does in the original theatrical release.

Does it mean the special edition canon of Greedo shooting at Han is now officially changed or is it (more likely imo) just down to the fear of nerd rage that including that part might provoke?

Whatever the explanation they clearly had a discussion about how the event should be portrayed with all the writers. It’s interesting, as a book like this telling stories from varying povs was a golden opportunity to have either Greedo or Han shooting first with a wink to the reader.

It’s a good book though with a lot of fun (and bonkers) stories.
