Shot Greedo. Just walked away like nothing happened and nobody pays him any mind.

You're telling me that literal anarchy reigns that section of Mos Eisley? How could you even run a bar or any business in a place like that?

Whatever Han flinged over to the bartender was apparently sufficient.

You try not to piss anyone off and carry a bigger gun.

This. He was acting in self defense obviously. He's a righteous upstanding citizen afterall

But for a more serious answer, we see Jabba there in one of the deleted scenes. Idk what the EU said but I'd assume the Huts or some other crime family effectively rule Mos Eisley, so there could be some semblance of order, just not one concerned with justice

1) It was an act of self-defense.

People want it to be murder because it's edgy, but Greedo was a second away from shooting Han. Even Lucas himself said it was self-defense.

2) The catina was a hive of scum.

They have a bigoted bartender who won't allow droids and everything goes back to normal seconds after a man's arm is cut off. This is essentially a western scene in an outer space movie.

FWIW, this is 100% how it works in the Book of Boba Fett. There's a mayor, but the city was effectively ruled by Jabba.

Did you see any cops walking around on Tatooine? Who the fuck do you think was going to arrest anyone? It's a lawless frontier ruled by gangsters.

He paid the bartender for the mess and nobody else got hurt so nobody cared. Quite possible it was known that both Han and Greedo worked with Jabba so it wasn't anyone else's business to get involved.

To be fair, there are stormtroopers there and they come sniffing after Ben cuts a dude's arm off.

Actually fuck it, obi-wan literally says it himself, "wretched hive of scum and villainy" etc. A bit of wanton murder here and there should hardly be surprising.

The stormtroopers are only there because they're searching for the droids-- they're a military force basically searching for a spy, they are not law enforcement.

You guys are forgetting that the Empire rolled in and took over the town. Local law enforcement was suspended and maybe even detained (assuming they didnt go into hiding themselves.) After Han shoots Greedo, its the Stormtroopers who roll in to see whats going on. Because they were running the town.
