Come to the Dark Side - We Have Star Wars Memes

I never understood the whole "Who shot first?" debate. Since when is it Han vs. Greedo? That entire argument is invalid. Han shot only. I was there. (3000 years ago.) I was there when the original Star Wars was still in theaters, and I distinctly remember - there was one shot. Just one. Han Solo shooting Greedo from under the table. No hesitation. No return fire. No edits. Just cold-blooded swagger.

And it wasn't just a throwaway scene. That moment told us exactly who Han Solo was. He wasn't some noble rebel with a heart of gold - not yet. He was a shady smuggler who would shoot a guy in a crowded bar, toss a few coins to the bartender "for the mess," and walk out without breaking stride. That wasn't murder - that was character development.

So who shot first? No one. Because Han doesn't wait for a fair fight. And that's exactly the kind of chaotic, snarky energy these 31 Star Wars memes deliver. Scroll on, young Padawan.
