Discussion Post: Han Solo No More?

[redrikki]

I don't have time for a real meta this morning, so let's try something new. A discussion post! Today's topic:

Did Han Solo keep his maiden name after marrying Leia?

My gut instinct says no for a couple of reasons.

1. Star Wars has multiple examples of men taking their wives names when those wives are noblewomen who outrank them. Examples include Bail Organa and Alrich Wren.

2. Solo was a pun inflicted upon Han by an Imperial recruiting officer.

3. In TFA, when Finn and Rey asked him if he was Han Solo he answers "I used to be."

I rest my case. Make yours in the comments below.

Yeah, I think I've seen that before, or at least the first half. ::sigh:: on the Kylo Ren bit. They're all millenials, he's just the dark side of our generation.
