    Turns out everyone in the Star Wars universe is born with boring names like Todd Johnson, and have to earn their weird-ass space names later.

    In SWTOR it's revealed that Han is a rank assigned to top Corellian smugglers. You can earn it as a title, like Darth.

    I am hoping they mean "made his name" and not "the funny anecdote on how John Smith became Han Solo"

    Otherwise it's gonna be something stupid like adopting a dead man's name or "hey you sure act on your own, a real solo guy."
    "Yeah...Solo. I like the sound of that."

    Old Han occupied a special sweet spot (in that scenes with him could be light-hearted but he also had a dark streak to him)

    See, one of the problems with Star Wars movies is that they lack a certain eroticism. What if we were to bring... an incredibly hot but skeptical female smuggler into the mix? And then that way, whenever Solo's not out blasting criminals because they smuggled drugs, he's back at the Millennium Falcon performing outrageous sexual experiments on her supple young body. Now, here's the twist, and there is a twist. We show it. We show all of it. Because what's the one major thing missing from all action movies these days, guys? Full penetration. Guys, we're going to show full penetration, and we're going to show a lot of it. I mean, we're talking, you know, graphic scenes of Han Solo really going to town on this hot, young smuggler. From behind, 69, anal, vaginal, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl-- all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones. And then he smuggles drugs again. He's out blasting criminals. Then he's back to the Millennium Falcon for some more full penetration. Smuggles drugs, back to the Falcon, full penetration. Smuggling, penetration, smuggling, full penetration, smuggling, penetration... And this goes on and on, and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.

    In the Han Solo movie we also learn that the character that would take the name Han is also an empath. That's why when Leia tells him she loves him in ESB, he knows.

    If they are going to include all of this backstory bullshit, this is the ideal way to do it.

    Cram it all into 15 minutes.

    None of those things bother me individually but combined they paint the picture of prequel-box checking. Turns out every single cool thing hinted at in a characters backstory was just one really crazy week.

    I mean, what the movies have established is that Han won the Falcon in a card game from Lando (it is possible that he cheated) and he did unknown things to possibly piss off Lando. Or did he?

    See, that's one issue I have with a Han prequel movie. It's that Lando's line from Empire and Han's shit eating grin all lose the ambiguity. Ambiguity is good, dammit.

    If its actually six years I will be thrilled. Im sick of movies that try to tell a story in a week. Thor becomes such a better movie if he's just trapped on earth for like half a year. I'm not very confident that they'll really do that though. And until I see the movie I'm going in expecting the main story to take a few days and everything else to be flashbacks.

    It's plausibility saddens me.

    I think Rogue One played things too generically and it had a way easier story to tell. I liked it, but it did feel like someone's Star Wars RPG campaign and the moments I remember are the badass blasty bits, less about the characters or the story.

    I worry a Han Solo movie will be about set pieces that riff on things we already know happened like the Kessel run and meeting Chewy and why there's a life debt and meeting Lando and winning the Falcon and where he got his trusty DL-44 and where he got his stupid stripey pants and you know what there's your movie.

    I think Rogue One's biggest success was that it used unestablished characters and did not mess with any elements of established characters in the process.

    Im not saying he's wrong. Just that my definition and his may be different. If 90% of the movie takes place when he's 24 and at the beginning section he is 18 with a time cut between thats technically 6 years but it doesnt satisfy me.
