UGO: Were there any scenes or bits in Robot Chicken: Star Wars that were left on the cutting room floor that are particularly close to your heart?
DOUG: There was one that, on the one hand, touched on a well-tread topic, but I thought was very silly and funny. It's the Han vs Greedo talk in the Cantina, and in the sketch they start shooting each other but no matter how often they fire, they always miss. Even if they have their blaster right up against each other. Greedo looks in the barrel of his blaster and even fires at his own face but keeps missing. Eventually, Han gives up and tosses his blaster away but when it hits the ground, it fires and hits a bystander dead-on. It was silly fun, but didn't make it until the end. \
