SO WHO SHOT FIRST?
Looking at the exterior of the Mos Eisley Cantina, few would suspect the bizarre and dangerous array of aliens seeking shade, business and refreshment within. These collectible bookends let you get to decide who shot first, Han Solo or Greedo.

Gentle Giant LTD. brings the classic confrontation between Han Solo and Greedo at the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars IV- A New Hope in bookend form. Destined for a place in your collection, this cinema scene is sure to delight fans and collectors alike.

Laser scanned in three dimensions directly from original costumes and props in the Lucasfilms archives whenever possible, this collectible piece is unmatched in its level of authenticity. Digital modelers processed the raw data, sculptors tweaked the data design in solid form, and painters all brought this piece or two pieces to life.

Not only can you use this as bookends, you can use it to hold y our Star Wars DVD collection or just display it in your collection as is.

Overall this piece is one of my top favorites in my ever-growing Star Wars collection. I am a big fan of Greedo and Rodians so this makes it special. For out of all the Gentle Giant items I have from mini busts to statues I am pleased with this item. Probably my favorite Gentle Giant item I currently own. The only thing that I disprove of and it is a slight nuisance really is that the paint job on the floor for each piece does not really match up in color. Other than that I am very pleased.
