Han Solo’s Last Name Backstory in ‘Solo’ Actually Makes Sense and You Are All Wrong
There's a bit more backstory to the Solo surname than meets the eye, and how Hans got his last name ultimately defines his character forever.
Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) getting his surname from a bored Imperial officer (Andrew Woodall) in Solo: A Star Wars Story remains one of the most controversial scenes in Star Wars. People usually argue that the reveal was a lazy piece of writing to use a pun with "solo" meaning "alone," or that it was lackluster, given Han's importance. While the scene is indeed pretty unremarkable itself, the reveal is actually a powerful moment in terms of storytelling and works very well for who Han is as well as who he later becomes.
