What's wrong is Han shooting first said a lot about his character.

I thought Greedo shot first and missed. So Han shot back and killed him.
Han Solo shooting first says that he is always one step ahead of everyone else. Greedo was there to take Solo out and Solo didn't think much of the situation. He tried to talk his way out of it and couldn't, so he got out.
When Greedo shoots first it doesn't say the same thing. It was almost like Lucas was apologizing for Solo by adding that errant shot from Greedo, saying that Solo is a bad guy if he shoots first. He's not a bad guy, he's a smart guy and will do what needs to be done to protect himself.
Not only is there nothing wrong with it, this also changes how we view self serving Han Solo returning to save Luke. Sure, there are other references to his nature, but this one is brilliant, pure Han Solo. It would be the same thing if they changed his "I know" into "I love you too". It's simply not Han Solo.
So, we had a Star Wars Marathon last night

I take it you are among those wise people who deny the existence of the second trilogy?

Agreed about HC.....I believe Ryan Phillipe was the runner-up for the part.

Yes, I heard this explanation as well.....and it makes sense to me.

Probably because it's the voice of his father/clone. Makes sense *shrugs*

The voice can be explained logically, but it still sucks balls. (and not in the good way)

I don't know about that. Fisher, Ford and Hamill could act.

JarJar was a shell of a character and directly responsible for the rise of the Empire. *NM*
