So I just had a random thought when looking through the DVD cover / artwork subforum and came across the image again showing the confirmed movie name of “SOLO” - its obviously meant as a play on the title itself, being a single word title but I’m thinking it will have another if not more connotations within the movie itself such as Han starting out “solo” by himself and not hooking up with Chewie until later in the movie.

What do others think and are there any other examples where you think this play on the title has been worked into the story or comments on some aspect of it?

I think the name Solo has been intended as such since the first movie.

I was really hoping they’d go the Indy route and make it Han Solo and the ______.

That’s the title for the sequels and later home video releases.

Sure. I didn’t say “Go the Raiders route”, I said “go the Indy route”, referring to the series.

EDIT: Wait, are you suggesting there will be more young Han movies that use this naming convention and that when the Blu-ray of this one comes out it will be retitled Han Solo and Solo: a Star Wars Story?

I was just making a dumb joke, but sure, whatever flies your Falcon.

The sequels will adopt a different, but similar, naming convention - Lando’s Revenge: A Han Solo Story.

Try to imagine this being sung by Bill Murray. (Or not.)

It’s the Han Solo movie! You knew they were gonna’ make one!
See how Han met Chewie…And Chewie will rip some guy’s arm off.
He really hates losing…at that crazy 3D chess game.
'Cause it’s the Han Solo movie!
Watch Lando lose the Falcon…because he really sucks at Sabbac!
And Jabba will hire Han…to smuggle some drugs…I mean spice!
And somebody will make a Kessel Run…I don’t need to tell you who!
'Cause it’s the Han Solo movie!
Directed by some guys and Opie!
You know you’re gonna’ see it…even though you told everyone you’re not!

I’m seriously looking forward to Solo: A Star Wars Story a lot more than I am The Last Jedi. I find the Star Wars Anthology series of films to be inherently more interesting. Judging by Rogue One they will flesh out the Star Wars galaxy quite awesomely and exquisitely. 😄

The safe-route Disney is traveling with these safe, established characters deeply worry and disappoint me. This franchise has become Marvel and Hollywood in a nutshell, and everyone swallows it whole. Despite Lucas’s way too firm and naive grasp on the prequels and its scripts, he had originality, and he took hell of a lot of chances with them. Not to mention the OT.

This Marvel Formula to Star Wars is predictable, redundant and unoriginal. The Marvel formula - to m, and the eight or so Marvel movies I’ve seen - is simply a joke every three minutes, no plot twist that will greatly endanger people’s expected expectations for the movie or their perception of it, characters that are half-developed or completely one-dimensional and/or predictable with the sole purpose to give- or complete a plot point, and - if expected by audience - kill a minor or now rather unimportant character at the end of the movie to give the audience the feel of consequence and stake, rather than set it up during the movie’s runtime.

And then people will say: but Rogue One killed all of its main characters! And TFA killed Han Solo! Well, Rogue One’s characters had little to no depth, the main character herself was never much of a main character - always being told what to do rather than to take action herself (watch the Rogue One Analysis video on YouTube) and a dragged out storyline that only picks up the last 20 minutes or so. The only character I cared about, and especially felt for upon his death, was the K2 droid.

And Han Solo’s sole purpose was to be the father of Kylo Ren and thereafter die to leave the characters with some emotional weight. However, this did of course work brilliantly - due to the already established character of Han Solo and Leia.

I hate to be the negative voice to anticipated movies, but I’m entitled to my honest opinion. I think the movies - so far, have been safe, at times boring, depthless, and incredibly predictable. I hope this changes around upon the release of TLJ and this Han Solo movie. I really hope this trend will stop. Don’t do what’s done before right - do what’s done before different!

Ragnorok is more compelling than anything George Lucas worked on since 1989…so if you don’t like it than it is probably good

You know a much better title for this movie would be The Corellian Smuggler: A Star Wars Story.

Definitely much better on many levels. “Solo” is so easy and predictable, yet I bet hundreds of thousands of dollars was spent on deciding it was the right name to go with, LOL…

I suppose they must be? Why would it be the TFA jacket?

Edit: they’re only being sold by one marketplace seller too, so who knows.

I see solo Wars everytime I see that title.

Why is every producer/director reactive instinct to make an origin film? I dont have a problem with a Han Solo movie. But why an origin film?

The great thing about the Indiana Jones series is that they are 3 unrelated movies relating the tales of an adventurer. They’re not even in chronological order. I love Raiders of the Lost Ark above all films including any Star Wars movie. I find Temple of Doom and Crystal Skulls to both be much lesser films than the original. Yet they do not alter my opinion of Indiana Jones the character. And I never felt robbed by not being told the full extent of his beginnings.

I dont really need to be told how Solo’s past formed the character we encounter in the first Star Wars film. I just want to see the further exploits of Han Solo. I hate being told “you see, this is why and how Han Solo came to be”.

Not thrilled with the approach but I hope the film is still an entertaining ride.
