Greedo is a Rodian bounty hunter working for Jabba the Hutt, sent to collect on Han Solo's debt in the Mos Eisley cantina in the 1977 film. He is shot dead at the table roughly ninety seconds after he sits down.

He is worth a catalogue entry for exactly one reason beyond the scene itself: the 1997 Special Edition re-cut the exchange so that Greedo fires first, and the ensuing argument became the fandom's longest-running proxy war over whether a released film belongs to its author or its audience.
