Kathleen Kennedy said that Han Solo is Han Solo's real name. Bob Iger just said it wrong when he said Solo's solo movie was about how he got his name.

She did say there's more to his name then we know. Probably his full name is Han Solo Skywalker or something.

My personal fanwank theory is that they're keeping all the orphan stuff from his legends backstory and he only knows his given name is Han. Solo is an appellation given to him by a mentor or adopted himself or something.

So yes, Han Solo is the only name he has, but we'll find out the meaning of why.

Maybe his name is Solo because Gaerg Lucass likes MAN FROM UNCLE

In some ways the Jedi Prince books are truly perfect works of art. They flawlessly recreate the experience of a child pretending to be Luke Skywalker on the playground, right down to the sound effects. Also Jabba the Hutts dad, who looks like Jabba with dreads, says "A HAW HAW HAW HAWW" many times, like a Jack Chick atheist of a galaxy far far away.

Yeah I realized that at some point when reading it, but high-school me was still very offended by the writing. My Star Wars are super serious and not for kids.

Salacious Crumb's name was it for me, someone already used that one. I used to get kids with that one all the time, nobody knew it until the internet and wiki articles came along, but he's named in some obscure EU novel like Bounty Hunter Stories or something like that.

I do know the name of Vader's Super Star Destroyer, its Executor.

If they can't hit anything when they use bullets made of light that ignore stuff like aerodynamics and wind resistance, what the hell are their chances with regular pistols?

No, clearly they should have used longbows that definitely makes more sense than laser guns.

Actually, looking at it again, I think he gives her a peck on the head so no need for the hug.

Also, it looks like getting up and sitting down might be a pain in that dress/robe she's wearing?

No attempt to open her arms to simulate a hug though? Boyega does, he opens his arms like "we gonna do this? No? Alright then."
