What gets weird is the workprint version of the cantina scene has different Greedo dialog, (as spoken on set) yet the Marvel comic is closer to the final film version. Could they have gone back to an earlier script draft when it came down to creating Greedo's english subtitles in post production?
Been a while since I last saw the workprint footage so I may be wrong but they basically added information we otherwise would've gotten in the Jabba scene in post. The marvel comic is close to the film but you can easily see the final touches made from a direct comparison;
Marvel comic:
Greedo: "Going somewhere, Solo?"
Han: "Matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba I have his money."
Greedo: "That's what you said yesterday. Now it's too late."
Han: "But I've really got the money this time!"
Greedo: "Then hand it over."
Han: "I haven't got it on me. You tell Jabba..."
Greedo: "Jabba would rather have your ship, I think."
Han: "Over my dead body!"
Greedo: "That’s the idea, Solo. Now will you come outside with me or must I finish it in..."
Film:
Greedo: "Going somewhere, Solo?"
Han: "Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money."
Greedo: "It’s too late. You should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba’s put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you... I’m lucky I found you first."
Han: "Yeah, but this time I got the money."
Greedo: "If you give it to me, I might forget I found you."
Han: "I don't have it with me. Tell Jabba..."
Greedo: "Jabba’s through with you. He has no time for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser."
Han: "Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice?" (lifted directly from discarded Jabba scene)
Greedo: "You can tell that to Jabba. He may only take your ship."
Han: "Over my dead body."
Greedo: "That’s the idea. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time."
Han: "Yes, I'll bet you have."
When Jabba in the SE threaten Han with; "I'll put a price on your head so big you won't be able to go near a civilized system." it doesn't fit that well with the earlier statement from Greedo.
