March 31, 2009 : Who Shot First?
Dear Readers,
If you’re Star Wars fans than you know this question well. If you find yourself wondering why I am asking than you must know that I shot first. By shot I mean I photographed the latest Han Solo UQS figure to come in. This is the anticipated Mos Eisley Han Solo, he comes with his trusty blaster and is completed by his cocky smile. I took a ton of pictures and I clipped them all for a great blog gallery. Go check it out for yourself, there are tons of close ups and action shots for your viewing pleasure. Be on the lookout for the Mos Eisley Han Solo Ad in previews and in some of the Star Wars publications, he should be making an appearance very soon!
And just for fun…
The Top 10 Other Things Han Shot That Didn’t Shoot Him First:
10. A poor, defenseless Minoc This flappy critter couldn’t even operate a gun, much less shoot at Han.
9. The Space Slug Just moments after the cold-blooded Minoc shooting, we see Han shoot the insides of a space creature kind enough to have an atmosphere and gravity in its stomach.
8. A stormtrooper Given slightly lower test scores, this guy could have been a bounty hunter.
7. The garbage compactor door Even Leia thought this was excessive.
6. The intercom at the Detention Block Think of all the calls home Imperial troops had made from that comm unit. “Hi Mom. We blew up Alderaan today. Give love to Pop.”
5. An officer on the Death Star Hey, that could have been a Bothan spy. They’re masters of disguise, you know.
4. Imperial probe droid Before he left the base, Han listened to the garble it was transmitting and said, “It isn’t friendly whatever it is.” If you don’t know what it is, how can you tell it is bad? There might have been space kittens in there.
3. Vader’s wingman The guy was given a direct order not to fire. He was just around for moral support.
2. The Sarlacc tentacle It was only trying to eat Lando– heck, didn’t Chewie want to do that at the end of Empire?
1. His poor, dying Tauntaun Perhaps in the special edition, Lucas should have animated the tauntaun going nuts and in the throes of death, clawing out one of Han’s eyes or grabbing his blaster and squeezing off a few shots– making it justifiable to spill its smelly macaroni guts in the snow.
