gee, I wonder why there;s a bunch of nations with similar economic conditions that all coordinate together against the rest of the world, and routinely invade militarily or economically coerce weaker nations for their own benefit. There must be some reason why movement of people and materials between these nations is so easy, while people from other nations will be shot or arrested for attempting to enter these nations.
It's also not like star wars is just a description of the world in the most basic terms possible so anyone can get it. They speak "basic," serve the "empire, republic, rebellion, separatists, or resistance." The only one with a unique name is the first order, and everyone hates that. They shot things that blast called blasters and have swords made of light called light sabers. It's just physical or literal descriptions in every single name except for planets and people's names, and even then you get skywalker for a pilot and solo for a loner. So yeah it sounds like star wars, because it's a description of the core of an empire, like the core of the empire. "my psychologist started talking and it was like Percy Jackson! And then I went on a sailboat and everyone talked like Long John Silvers, it was absurd."
Extreme soy moment in Han (or Solo whatever the fuck uninspired name) when Random Imperial Immigration Guy #1 fills that in as Han's family name after he says "it's just me."
God that pissed me off so much. Not everything needs an explanation! It can just be his god damn name!
Aside from that I liked that scene tho, I love seeing Star Wars stuff that just seems like people living their lives and imperial bureaucracy, idk why I just find it neat
I honestly am fine with it. It's not ideal, but fuck it if you had family who came to the US via Ellis island, chances are your last name has the same story. Or even that translator who's legal name in the us is "FNU" cause they forgot or didn't care enough and just copied the acronym for "first name unknown" from the generic document
Honestly, there's the inkling of a kind of cultural moment here. Like, imagine this being the standard practice for any orphan child or family-less refugee. Star Wars could have a million "Solo"s bouncing around the Galaxy, with backstories ranging from Grave of Fireflies to Great Gadsby.
It's a shame more authors didn't pick this up and run with it, or divine it before the Kasdans landed on it. Imagine a Star Wars series that took a harder look at Galactic Poverty and Diaspora communities, rather than making poverty a simple setting frame from the next laser sword fight.
all that movie is is soy moments, I hate it with every fibre of my being. I could not care less about everything they explain in the movie. the imperial mudhopper armor is also stupid, it doesn't make any sense.
I'm glad that Solo took the time to include a scene where Han declares out loud "Chewbacca? That's a long name, I don't want to say that every time. I will give you a nickname."

That’s a really good point actually, I didn’t think about that
"Your name is Han?"
"No my name is Solo, I'm just the leader of q Khanate"
