who shot first?

He's keying off of the original _Star Wars_, and the retconned midichlorians.

Okay, but what in the original Star Wars has anything to do with blue
milk?  And the who shot first?  I suppose power converters were in
there somewhere, but I wouldn't have noticed or paid attention to
them.  But I don't remember blue milk.  Nor the who shot first
controversy.

How did they retcon the midichlorians?  I remember a bit more
explanation in the newer movies, but nothing to clear things up. It
was all still very vague to me.

-Tora, who is pretty sure Scott's "he" is referring to the Sundance
Kid, but is also pretty sure the Sundance Kid is female (Heather?).
