Star Wars Finally Explains the Origin of Han Solo's Greedo Beef
When fans first met Han Solo in Star Wars: A New Hope, they were introduced to him through a scene featuring Greedo. While the green bounty hunter is killed off immediately, the encounter sets up an ongoing storyline as Han owes money to the Tatooine-based gangster, Jabba the Hutt.
