      I can't believe Bob Iger approved the spec script for Solo solely because he believed the name thing was the coolest and most insightful thing he'd ever seen

      Now I'm wondering what weirdly impressionable executive somewhere totally had their mind blown by the Martha thing

      The thing about Martha is that it's a solid beat in principle - Batman dehumanizes Superman, but then sees his humanity by connecting him to his own loss. But you have to earn it, and BvS didn't. Superman randomly calling his mother by her first name makes no sense.

      Whereas "Solo" is just dumb. I mean, it would have worked as a throwaway line, like if Han was telling one of his buddies about it as a joke. But as a huge, ponderous moment like they tried to make it to be in the movie, it's absurd.

      It also is sort of an awkward attempt to dodge the fact that "Han Solo" was obviously made up to sound like an Asian name of some sort without talking to any Asian people and without any intention of casting an Asian actor

      Replying to @BootlegGirl @NussbaumAbigail

      I mean I guess "Solo" is a real surname, like Hope Solo and Ksenia Solo (it's Italian for "alone", which is where we get its English meaning, but it's also corruption of the Hebrew/Yiddish name Shlomo) And "Han" is Dutch for "Hans" (which is German for "John")

      (I am a native Dutch speaker and have never heard of anyone called "Han". "Hans" is a common Dutch name. Translating "John" to "Hans" is not exactly correct either, "Jan" would be the german/dutch for "John".)

      "John"/"Jan" and "Hans"/"Han" both come from the original Latin name "Johannes" (from the Hebrew "Yochanan"), they're just taken from different parts of it Like "Jacques" and "James" both being short for the Latin "Iacomus" (from the Hebrew "Yakov")

      Incidentally, every famous Han there was born before Star Wars.

      I think the damning thing on this page is pointing out that Isaac Asimov used "Han" as a major character name twice before Star Wars

          And for all that Lucas swore he wasn't into written science fiction and Star Wars was a totally original sci fi series it has a LOT of eerie similarities with his books

          And yeah the Star Wars formula for names for human characters is almost exactly like the one Asimov did for his futuristic books You take a familiar sounding name for an American audience and tweak it just slightly to make it "foreign"

          Oh, ha - I actually was thinking that the name went out of fashion in the Netherlands once it got so famous.
