(This wasn’t really worth it’s own thread so I figured this would be the best place to mention it.)

I was reading up on Buck Rogers on wikipeedia I noticed that the second story published in the 1920’s was called “The Airlord of Han.” So could this be the inspiration for Han Solo’s name? Lucas was a fan of Buck Rogers and even used pictures of the character in his first draft to illustrate what he wanted Annikin Stariller to look like. Han being a pilot, and a tad nobler in the first drafts, may also have been inspired by “airlords.”

Maybe this has been discussed before, but this is the first time I have heard any suggestion to where “Han” comes from.
