Day 211, Quasi-Quarantine: Greedo Missed First

 A Rodian bounty hunter best known for running missions for Jabba the Hutt, Greedo is a memorable and beloved "Star Wars" character. In fact, his iconic status in relationship to his actual screen time -- less than a minute, probably -- is way out of whack. 

However, he's launched memes and spirited debates ("Han shot first," anyone?) across and beyond the Star Wars galaxy.

Originally introduced in 2004, his actual minifigure has undergone some redesigns, mostly related to color and the vest he's wearing. He appears in only three sets, all variants of the Mos Eisley Cantina where he eventually met his demise at the hands of Han Solo. 

My building partner is going through a fascination with bounty hunters, so Greedo was deemed a necessary addition. After much searching, we found a suitable purchase.

We look forward to re-creating scenes where Greedo can demonstrate his ability to hit targets from farther than 3 feet away.
