Subject 1: GREEDO. Rodian. Age Unknown (young). Upstart bounty hunter under the very temporary employ of Jabba the Hutt. This individual was given assignment to collect monies owed to the aforementioned Jabba the Hutt by Corellian smuggler Han Solo, with orders to use terminal force against said smuggler if demands for recompensation were refused. This was Greedo's first assignment as a full-fledged bounty hunter.
Subject 2: SOLO, HAN. Human Corellian, Age unknown (late twenties/early thirties?) Veteran smuggler who was given the assignment to deliver an unspecified amount of spice, an illegal intoxicant, from the harsh mining planet of Kessel, overseen by paranoid warden Moruth Doole, to Jabba the Hutt. However, Solo's vessel, the Millennium Falcon, was intercepted by an Imperial patrol, forcing the smuggler to jettison all of said spice to avoid arrest. Jabba immediately demanded compensation from Solo, since he had already paid Doole in advance. Solo refused on the grounds that it was not his fault he was forced to drop said cargo, and even suggested that it was Doole that alerted the Imperials. After thwarting two attempts by Jabba's "bill collectors" to extract the monies from Solo, Greedo volunteered himself to try and get the money, or Solo's ship, or his corpse, whatever was convenient.
Overview: Our young bounty hunter made two previous attempts while on Tatooine to get Solo to hand over the credits, only to be repeatedly stonewalled. Finally losing his patience, Greedo confronted Solo in a secluded booth in Chalmun's Cantina, Mos Eisley, Tatooine. After pulling a blaster on Solo, Greedo warned the smuggler to pay up immediately and even suggested that Solo's ship might be forcibly used as collateral (bad idea). The die was cast...
Original version: Han Solo, taking umbrage to having a blaster pulled on him and realizing that Greedo could not be easily reasoned with (plus Solo was in a hurry), opted to pull out his own weapon and shoot Greedo under the table before the Rodian had a chance to fire.
Star Wars Special Edition Version: A single shot was fired from Greedo's pistol after Solo remained unimpressed with Greedo's threat to seize the Millennium Falcon as payment. Inexplicably, despite the less than one metre separating the antagonists, Greedo's shot went wide and ricocheted several times off the booth's walls, giving Solo more than enough time to pull out his own hidden weapon and effortlessly eliminate Greedo.

Look at worlds such as Tatooine: Before the Empire was around, Slavery and crime lords were the order of the day. After the people's revolution however, the Empire stepped in and restored law and order to even the most remote hellholes. The Empire cares to stop oppression where others did not.
It will be a sad day indeed for the entire Galaxy if we let these band of Nerf Herders get the best of our beloved Empire...

Yeah, your not the only one who feels like that when Greedo posts.
The scene ends with Luke and Solo dragging a drunken Obi Wan out of the bar who keeps insisting he saw a space bug about harvest Solos brain.
At least it was a deleted scene, I'm sure they’ll include it in this butchered new version.
