Solo shot first, smart. Ain't no second place in a gunfight that close. Or any gunfight, really. I just started watching Star Trek TOS, but some of my earliest memories are Star Wars, and I still toss in a Star Wars movie to play while I'm puttering at least once a month, which is all a really long way of saying I'm biased. But Kirk is never dirty and appears to have morals. Solo, he's dirty and lacks most moral standards. Solo will make a plaything of Kirk every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
BUT, Kirk is smooth and probably saves some coin, when Solo probably had to pay for a woman's company prior to meeting Leia.
And I think I am now an official dork having made my first public assertion of one fictional character over another to people I will probably never meet.
