I see a hurricane cannon in some lucky country's future.

Yeah, I did realise that in the original, Han Solo shot first... my original comment was suppose to be a joke about on how fans can explain just about any inconsistancy :)

Somehow though, it has wounded up being modded as insightful... guess I'm just not funny, or some SW fans are more serious than I thought... :(
