Star Wars' Weirdest Comic Saw Han Solo In Court For Shooting First

While many Star Wars fans refuse to recognize thespecial edition remaster where Han Solo shoots second in self-defense rather than shooting first, one of Dark Horse's strangest comics saw Han Solo taken to court by Greedo's mother. A comical (and non-canonical) parody of The People's Court reality courtroom show, Solo attempted to escape sentencing by «The Honorable Judge Palpatine,» using the special edition scene as his chief defense. While it's still debated today, this hilarious Star Wars comic actually provided a ruling on the matter.

Featured in 2002's Star Wars Tales #14 from Dark Horse Comics, «The Emperor's Court» was a short story from writer Jason Hall and artist Ramon Bachs. Framed just like an episode of The People's Court television show on ABC, Greedo's mother Neela is represented by C-3PO with Han Solo choosing to represent himself with Chewbacca by his side. The Emperor is of course the courtroom judge supported by Darth Vader as the bailiff. Attempting to see justice served, Neela attests that Han shot her son first in cold blood, while Solo claims that he fired second in self-defense after Greedo fired first and missed (despite being less than a meter away from the smuggler).
