That “Han shot first” bit never gets old …
😆
Whe-heyyy! Boom!
I’ll post this to Reddit and yo’ll get a load of hits. A friend of mine said “han shot first” is a meme on Reddit (whatever that means).
Han shot first it a meem every where. A meem is like a famous line from a movie, video, or picture like “can I haz Chese burger ?”
Ah… thanks Sam!

I love seeing George return to BMS!
You know, Greedo WAS about to kill Han.
Changing the scene didn’t really change Han from murder to self defense, it changed Greedo into the worst aim in history.
“Greedo WAS about to kill Han”
Well, precisely. So sort of justified – in a Wild West type setting. And that’s an element that Solo’s character was supposed to reflect.
If Lucas got to re-edit Sergio Leone’s movies would he want the Man with No Name to be squeaky-clean, pure and righteous – against a PURE-evil Van Cleef?
Actually, that raises a point: George himself claims he never wanted Vader to be just 1-dimensionally evil. So why can’t Solo be complex too?
Yeah, no kidding! Greedo fires off two shots from ABOVE the table, and they hit a good 6 inches on EITHER SIDE of Han’s head, and Han blasts him to barbeque from under the table! Worst. Edit. In the movies. Period.
It actually just doesn’t work anymore. It used to be clear enough for me to follow when I was 9. When I saw the SE, not realising it had been re-edited, I think I just felt disappointed with the scene. Probably wondered why it didn’t seem as clear or as good as I remembered.
Westwood….Spaghettooine….one of Greedo’s cousins wearing a sombrero….you guys are terrible. X D
I keep hearing the theme to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly when I see these strips, which only adds to the funny.
Love the final frame, where Old Lucas interjects. Nice touch!
Yes – I’m delighted to see George reappearing.
I thought his cousin was names Breedo and that’s why he is wearing it.
Kevin, I totally agree. He must have went to the Stormtrooper Academy.
You know, I can tollerate the prequels if I don’t think about them too hard, but I have head-exploding, wrath of 1000 firey suns hatred for the special editions. I really don’t know why this is, but it is. Han shot first and it was perfectly justifiable both for his character and the situation.
Loving this space-western you’ve got going on.
Thanks FG! It’s always nice to know someone is enjoying our excursion from the main Star Wars canon into our own imagination. The challenge is now going to be getting Monday’s strip ready BEFORE we head up to Baltimore for the show. Gah!
Draw it live at the show! See you there.
Next strip, Young George leans in, stage right, with the pro ‘Soot first’ argument, am I right?
Since we’re in Clint Eastwood territory now, might Boba sport that Man with no Name serape that he wore in the McQuarrie concept art?
I can see Biggs riding off into the sunset on a dewback, a Twi’lek dancer running out and shouting,” Preacher! Come back! I love you!”…..
Back from Geneva on the Lake, Ohio, and had a whole week to read 🙂 .
Love the sombrero, and the Western storyline.
Is one of them the Rodian with no name, or is Han filling that role?
I still think they should be sporting pink high heels.
Keep it up!!!!!
Awesome!
