      Star Wars did so in a way kind of. Like the aliens were a mix of friendly and evil. Like the cantina scene was so important for scifi history because it showed alien races drinking and mingling together with humans.

        And then of course Han Solo the human walks in and shoots first . . . then revisionists changed the story to make the white man the victim . . . it's all coming together now, boys

            Solo took a job to smuggle for Jabba but dumped the cargo and ran when the cops showed up. Jabba placed a bounty for Solo's capture because Solo was gonna run off with the money and never make up for his mistake or repay. Greedo even gave Solo a chance to hand over the money and walk away without being captured but Solo refused.

            Also Solo stole Greedo's girlfriend

              But he didn’t have the money, that’s why he took the job transporting Luke and Obi Won.

                I'm mostly just doing this as a bit because Greedo is obviously a scumbag, but Solo actually isn't a hero character either. He knew the deal when he made it and then wanted to back out after getting what he wanted. Everyone involved was doing illegal shit anyway so they all knew the risk

        Yeah obviously this post is a bit cherry-picked. Multiple pictures are from The Thing alone.

          True, but the point still stands that american scifi loves it's fear of the other like others have said, is baked into capitalism.
