Yeah, the whole point in the original was that Han Solo was NOT a very good guy in the beginning. He was a complete bastard (I mean he was smuggling drugs for fuck's sake, which is pretty much what the "spices" he was smuggling were supposed to be) and he shot Greedo (who was nothing more than a punkass kid who didn't know his asshole from his elbow) under the table before he even knew what hit him.
The whole idea was that the character changed and developed a sort of conscience along the way. George Lucas COMPLETELY undermined the fucking character by having him shoot ONLY after fired upon by Greedo...evidently he felt that it wasn't setting a good example for the kids or something (this was after he had adopted children of his own, you see).
