Han Solo Movie Spoiler Thread — Page 2

I thought Han was just beefing up his own reputation in the original movie to impress Ben and Luke, hence Ben’s amused eyebrow raise here:

TFA kind of threw that out by taking the stuff said in that scene literally, though, which might be my biggest complaint with it.

I’m hoping for an awkward and embarrassing X-Men type name dropping scene

I think it has to do with Han thinking he can do it all by himself, and in turn, by the middle of the movie, he’ll know he can’t and that he needs a companion, somebody he just met, somebody who will stay with him until the end, Chewbacca.

I think his friends will give him that nickname, and he’ll keep it.

Han was already a fairly well know smuggler by the time of ANH, so this film might revolve around some big event that makes him famous in the criminal underworld. My guess would be some expansion on the Kessel Run as it hasn’t made an actual appearance in the new canon yet.

I hope it’s this. I would hate it to be that Han Solo is just his nickname.

That’s how I’ve always seen it. And still do.

I never saw it that way. shrug

It doesn’t have to be a nickname. People change their name all the time. Sounds like the kind of thing a smuggler might do. shrug

His real name is Hannse Ollo. He got tired of people mispronouncing it.

Sorry, I try to stay out of the new film threads to not hijack them with negative comments, as I know some of you will like these awful films and that’s your right. But this new info is one of the worst things I have ever heard concerning Star Wars. Social media seems to be outraged.

This is beyond asinine. Why would you take a beloved OT character and start ****ing him up for no reason. That’s exactly what got George in trouble on the prequels. Beyond stupid.

Perhaps people would be more receptive to your criticisms if you didn’t word your awful comments so poorly, but as you said, that’s your right.

This line made me laugh. When is it not?

Or, if he didn’t already dislike a movie that hasn’t yet been released.
