Most people disliked this scene.  Just pretend Greedo was giving a

alm
Jabba
scence
I think out of all the movies the Jabba scene was the best added.  Here
is one thing you must now remember though, that IS Jabba.  You may have
gotten taken away by what the books, comics, RPG, etc., have made Jabba
and other "Hutts" (if they are a race and it is not a title) out to be.
Remember, this is six years before Jedi and by this time Jabba was not
fed up with Han at all.  Evenif you didn't like it, that is now official
and that is what Jabba looked and acted like six years before Jedi.
Because that is probably what goes on.  I'm sure a droid can annoy
another droid.
down: same as above.
That was cool.  It helped show that Tatooine was just a "scummy" place.
The swoop guy rode right in front of the ronto and Jawas and didn't care
what happened and kept on going.  I loved it.
