    I am just going to pick the straight answer and say "Han." Greedo was too busy worrying about his "time" with Jabba to shoot first.

    I remember one day on DVD is slowed that down to see who shot first really, and it was really close but somebody DID shoot first.  Thing is I can't remember who. :/

    In the original version Han shoots first, as that scene is a direct reference to the opening scene of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. However, in later editions Lucas changed it so that Greedo shot first, to make Han seem like more of a 'hero', but it was done digitally and very poorly, in one edition Han's neck literally streches to the side, dodging the shot.

    I'd say Greedo was intended to shoot first even if that wasn't the case in the original cut.

    Wow that's screwed up lol. The version I have Greedo misses by like 10 miles the beam comes out of the gun at like a 30 degree angle and misses Han by miles. It's really silly. 
     
    But yeah, officially, Lucus retconned it so that Greedo shot first. So Greedo did in fact shoot first.
