Hey, “Star Wars,” here are 23 better names for the new stand-alone Han Solo movie
In case you’ve been away from your computer scavenging scraps on Jakku, chances are you’ve heard that Lucasfilm has officially named its upcoming Han Solo standalone film. This morning, director Ron Howard took to Twitter to share that the untitled film will officially be called Solo: A Star Wars Story. It’s…fine.
Listen, it’s not that it’s a bad name per say, but the Star Wars franchise is known for poetic and ominous titles, so let’s face it: Solo is kind of obvious and bland. Plus, when the previous standalone film has a dope name like Rogue One, you gotta up the stakes a *little* bit.
We spent a lot of time thinking about potential names for the Han Solo project this morning and together (shout out to Entertainment Editor Rachel and Assistant Entertainment Editor Molly, who both love a really good Fast and Furious pun), we came up with a series of alternative names for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
