In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

      Yeah. I don’t know why it’s even an argument. Its totally in his character’s nature to shoot first, and makes most sense in the story context.

        Iirc I think the argument comes from Lucas outright saying Greedo was supposed to shoot first but due to technical limitations yadda yadda and rereleasing a cut where he “fixed” it so Greedo in fact does shoot first.

        But I’ll keep it a buck Lucas is wrong and dumb and idgaf if he wrote it. Han shot first, makes for a better story.
