Fett could've just killed Han like Greedo was "going to do" and like, 90% of Jabba's cronies would have survived, 'cause of the fatalities in the rescue attempt.

In other words, Han didn't shoot first. Greedo never shot.


I believe Greedo was a hot-head, according to the original script and just his stated intent in that scene. If Han hadn't shot Greedo, then Greedo would have shot him. In empire we had a very different bounty and an actual bounty hunter (not some trigger happy gang member). So, yes Greedo was going to kill Han, more likely than not.
