Han Shot First 

References Star Wars (AKA Starwars IV: A New Hope)

1.) Stating the truth, instead of a spin-doctored story.

In the original version of the movie, in the Alien Smuggler's bar, Han Solo shoots the alien bounty hunter Greedo in cold blood with a blaster hidden under the table.

In the "Special Edition" some badly cut-together rehash has Greedo shooting at Han twice and missing from point blank range.
"I saw it all go down! This giant gang of his huge thugz was charging down to totally pwn him..."

"Oh come on man... Han Shot First."

Who shot first? 

Han Solo shot first.

Who shot first?" is a phrase used by Star Wars fans to refer to a controversial change made to a scene in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In the original theatrical version of the film, Solo shoots Greedo under the table and Greedo dies without firing a shot. The scene was modified for the 1997 re-release to feature Han using his weapon in retaliation after Greedo fires at him; the latter rather implausibly missing Han at point-blank range (<2 meters away). Thus, the phrase "Who shot first?" is a retort to director George Lucas' explicit cinematographic assertion that "Greedo shot first.
Peter: I saw episode IV the other day, and I swear Greedo didn't shoot first in the original. Who shot first?

James (fanboy): Han Solo shot first.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
