"The Luckless Rodian" is a brief tale featured in the anthology From a Certain Point of View. This story, penned by Renée Ahdieh, centers its narrative on the Rodian bounty hunter known as Greedo.
The narrative unfolds through the perspective of Greedo, the Rodian bounty hunter, chronicling his ill-fated confrontation with the smuggler Han Solo. Driven by a desire to settle his grievances with Solo once and for all, Greedo resolves to claim the bounty placed on Solo by Jabba Desilijic Tiure and steps into Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina located in Mos Eisley. Upon entering the cantina, Greedo observes Wuher informing Luke Skywalker that his "droids" C-3PO and R2-D2 are not welcome within the establishment. As Greedo mentally prepares himself for the impending encounter, he reflects on how his former flame, Uncelta, had fallen for Solo.
Within the cantina's confines, Greedo catches sight of Obi-Wan Kenobi severing Ponda Baba's limb and witnesses Solo engaging in conversation with Kenobi and Skywalker. Following the departure of Solo's Wookiee co-pilot, Chewbacca, from the cantina, Greedo initiates his plan and confronts Solo directly. Solo suggests that he inform Jabba that he now has the money he owes. Greedo retorts that it is too late for that and then declares his intention to collect the bounty on Solo's head. When Solo repeats that he has the money, Greedo rejects it as a bribe. Upon Solo's admission that he does not currently possess the money, Greedo asserts that Jabba has no patience for smugglers who abandon their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser. Solo explains that he had to jettison the cargo due to the arrival of an Imperial boarding party.
Greedo counters by suggesting that Jabba might simply seize his ship, the Millennium Falcon, and applies more pressure to the trigger of his blaster. Solo responds that he would never give up his ship. Before Greedo can discharge his weapon, Han shoots first. The final sensation Greedo experiences before his death is a burst of intense light. His last thought was that of profound unfairness.
