Newly unearthed 'Star Wars' script makes clear Han Solo shot Greedo first

The original script of 'Star Wars' found at University of New Brunswick confirmed that Han Solo shot Greedo first.

Now, a Canadian librarian who's located a copy of an early script claimed to have confirmed what even George Lucas has denied that Han was the aggressor in a short battle that ended in the death of a bumpy green alien, Stuff.co.nz has reported.

However, when Lucas and Lucasfilm re-released the movies in 1997 as updated digital special editions, the scene was recut, with a wide-shot added to make it very clear that Greedo shot first.

Lucasfilm confirmed that the script appeared to be a copy made by a fan, leading Tech Times to wonder whether "this was really what Lucas initially envisioned for the character, or if it was just a fan wanting to portray Han as a "cold-blooded killer." But CBC reporter Matthew Bingley said the studio confirmed the script's contents as well.
