Han Solo claims that Greedo shot first and he responded in self-defense. While it is common knowledge that the droid is fluent in over six million languages, he also claims to be familiar with over six million forms of litigation. In "The Emperor's Court," Greedo's mother is distraught over the loss of her son and hires the best lawyer that money can buy, C-3PO. The question of who shot first is one of the most highly contested debate in all of Star Wars lore. The non-canonical story "The Emperor's Court" by Jason Hall, Ramón Bachs, Raul Fernandez, Steve Dutro, and Dave Nestelle in 2002's Star Wars Tales#14 shows the Emperor exchanging his Sith robes for a new set of judicial robes. Many fans probably don't realize there was a time when the Emperor also played the role of a judge. He started his political career as a Senator of Naboo before working his way through the ranks to become Supreme Chancellor and eventually the Emperor. Sheev Palpatine has had many different titles over the years in the Star Wars Galaxy.
