"You all saw it! That orphanage attacked me!"
Richard, Looking for Group (blurb from LFG ads)

"I mean, I don't think I'm alone in the world in imagining this flick may be the worst idea since Greedo shooting first."

"I was hoping you'd fire first. Keeps me on the moral high ground for when I do this."
Cable, Cable & Deadpool

"Now, taking out the fact that this is a HORRIBLE-looking effect (it literally looks like they just Photoshopped Harrison Ford's head over a little), everyone once again went nuts. "That's not how it's supposed to go! Han Solo’s supposed to shoot first! It's a total betrayal of his character! Everything that Han Solo is is destroyed because of this one scene!" Okay, it's stupid and not needed, but it's literally one second. People are still bitching and moaning about this dumbass scene, and it's ridiculous! They act like somebody told them that Luke Skywalker was a Jawa or something. It's not that big a deal. It's a different take on an already-popular scene. Neat, it's cool to see a new point of view. Why the hell is THIS worth going apeshit over? Yeah, don't worry. Soon the prequels will come, and suddenly, you'll have NOTHING to complain about. This will still be the most offensive thing you will ever see in a Star Wars film."

Interviewer: So, did you shoot Greedo first or did Greedo shoot you first?
Harrison Ford: Uh, I don't care.
