INTERIOR: MOS EISLEY SPACEPORT -- DOCKING BAY 94
Chewbacca leads the group into a giant dirt pit that is Docking Bay 94. Resting in the middle of the huge hole is a large, round, beat-up, pieced-together hunk of junk that could only loosely be called a starship.
LUKE: What a piece of junk.
Script for Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope (4th draft)
My job sometimes makes me privy to information that doesn't reach the general population. As an example, I suspect that most people weren't aware that the Port of Metro Vancouver was playing host to a certain Corellian freighter this week. Yes, the Millennium Falcon is in town, which to me means that there's bound to be some sort of trouble.
So, a word to the wise: if you're in any of the local cantinas over the next few days, keep an cautious eye open for bearded old men with lightsabres, eight foot tall first mates covered entirely in hair, or groups of Imperial stormtroopers looking for droids. And if you see any bounty hunters? Shoot first.

It's great to see that someone in the shipping industry has a sense of humour!
ReplyDeleteAs you brought up in one of our conversations there is some debate about who shoots first in that famous scene. Greedo would have to be a really lousy shot to miss at that range. Moreover, he is 'in the business' of that sort of thing, so my opinion is that Han shot first.
