Sigh.
Han was never cold-blooded and firing on Greedo first doesn’t make him cold-blooded either. It was self-defense. Greedo was pointing a gun at him and essentially said, “I’m going to kill you.”
This!
When you’re looking down the barrel of somebody’s gun, you have to use any means necessary to get out of that situation with your life. How was this ever even a controversy?
If anything makes Han even remotely cold-blooded, it would be his cynical remark towards the bartender. But the act itself would be perfectly alright in most civilized countries. He’d probably only have to visit a space-police station to fill out a report, but I guess that is a Special Edition addition we will never see…
