— but what a spotlight it is! Originally meant to establish Han Solo's badass bona fides, Greedo's death scene has been subject to more changes over the years than any other single segment of the franchise. As a result, he has come to stand for all the elements of the original films that fans still love in defiance of George Lucas' fiddling, especially the shades-of-grey morality and the violence lurking on the fringes of the galaxy.
