'Han Shot First' Copyright 2007 by David Steinlicht www.allsmall.net steinlicht@pobox.com 'Star Wars,' in 1977, introduces Han Solo as an outlaw. Han shoots and kills a guy who's threatening him. In 1997, the movie was jazzed up with new special effects and new scenes. And the Han Solo intro scene was re-edited so Han shoots only after the other guy shoots first. I guess in an effort to make Han seem like more of a hero-type. Fans of the original movie thought changing that particuar scene was a bad idea. Hence this T-shirt. It's a protest of the revised scene. The fans liked that Han was a scary guy. The kind of guy who would shoot first. Because it is authorized, this shirt has the advantage of being able to use an actual likeness of Han Solo. But this shirt portrays Han in a pose that is nothing like the 'Han Shot First' scene. Han was sitting at a table in that scene. The fan shirt invokes the movie through typography alone by mimicking the 'Star Wars' logo. Nice job. End
