I know. But back when Lucas first changed it, "Han shot first" was the slogan people used. It's short, as slogans should be. What else would you use? "Greedo never shot"? "Only Han shot"? Those don't sound as good, at least to me. "Han shot first" can also mean that Greedo never got to fire his gun, because Han was quicker. So I'll stick with that.

    Han shot only. It's supposed to show how cold of a bastard Han is. Portraying it as self-defense undercuts that.

    I get you. I think my problem with Han Shot First is that it forgives the ret-con and I don't want to do that. I'd rather be pedantic about it. But I have no hate to people that make the pithy Han Shot First comment, its better than Han shot in self-defense beccause Mos-Eisley is a stand your ground state.
