Despite his dialogue, he just doesn't LOOK like he's about to shoot anyone.

Seriously? You have no tension when you watch that scene? Han pulling his blaster out of its holster and aiming it at Greedo the under the table? Greedo saying that Han was going to soon be dead and that he was looking forward to "this" for a long time? Then a big white explosion obscurring who was able to fire his blaster first?
Plenty of tension for me.
Though I will admit that the SE kind of removes all of the fun from that scene somehow . . . like an annoying headache.
