Luckily most Star Wars fans are easy going chaps, and don’t mind a touch up here or there to established canon.
I think whatever happens, we can all agree that when the dragons take over the earth, the only way to tell this story will be to ensure that every single time, we tell that particular scene differently, and then deny ever having told it differently before:
It seems to me that the “why” is obvious: it justifies Han shooting at Greedo with the intent to kill him because now it’s self defense.

Yup, and those original swordfights (IV-V-VI) were choreographed by someone who was an actual accomplished fencer, not someone who had masturbated too much over kung-fu movies: Bob Andersson, who also did the fucking epic fencing scene in Die Another Day, Highlander, Princess Bride etc..
“Luke and Vader did not have an epic fight in Empire”
Are you surprised? Michael Mantlo had to solicit donations online to pay off bills so he could bring his brother Bill home from his assisted living facility while Endgame was making billions.
(For those who don’t know: Bill Mantlo is one of Rocket Raccoon’s co-creators. He was struck by a car in the early 90's and…
Great short.
It’s almost as if life isn’t simple enough to allow us to split things into simple terms like “good” and “bad.” Though I don’t disagree with you, there are no one-sentence idioms that can truly reflect many complex situations.
