Iger revealed "you will also discover how he got his name."
Because now Han Solo isn't his actual name. Total crap - the deal on this film just keeps getting worse...

The fact that he's 18-24 is what turns me off even more. If Disney wasn't pandering so obviously to a specific age group it wouldn't be so odious. But this is clearly a move to capture a young demographic so that they can milk, milk, milk them for the next forty years. I can't conceive of anything that would make Han Solo interesting at that age. In fact, I expect that the film will be a random assortment of action pieces with very, very little to set it apart from any other generic action film.
Even though I was a pre-teen when I saw Star Wars, I found Harrison Ford's older look and maturity were a great offset to the youthful Luke and Leia. Here was a man who'd seen enough of the dark underbelly of the Galaxy to become jaded and selfish. But when a young man and a beautiful princess needed his help, he found the hero inside. THAT was interesting.
I couldn't care less how he met Chewie, how he won the Millennium Falcon in a card game, or what it's like to live on Correllia. Wanna bet there's a scene between him and Lando running from something, explosions and mayhem erupting on all sides, shouting quips at each other as supposedly dangerous assassins miss them with every shot? Or that there will be a space chase where they take that "hunk of Junk" for a spin and discover that the Millennium Falcon is a better ship than they thought? But that's what we're going to get, as sure as sin. Do you think they'll be stupid enough to portray a "young" Chewbacca when the Chewbacca from Star Wars was 200 years old already? Are we going to get cute baby Chewie so Disney can fill the shop outside of Star Tours II with plush toys?
I used to have a positive outlook about Disney taking over from Lucas, but they're even more greedy about merchandising than he was. And their ideas have taken the franchise absolutely nowhere so far.

I tell you what - I would bet every single last penny on this film"hilariously" featuring the Kessel run being done in less than twelve parsecs 😩 and furthermore the probability has got to be high that it will be in a race against everyone's favourites - the "my friend doesn't like you" cantina cameo boys...

You, my friend, have a future as a spec scriptwriter for Disney.

The directors have just been given the 'Death Star' treatment by Disney so expect the screenplay/film to have major rewrites/reshoots before it hits the big screen. But if they're planning on revealing his real name - that sounds a dumb idea. I'd leave it as it is. Han Solo is a cool name. If his real name is Eric Solo, that ain't so cool.

If they introduce any of Han Solo's siblings, parents, cousins, etc., I swear I'm storming out of the cockadoodie theater.
I'm so sick of family members in Star Wars films! Jango Fett, I'm looking in your direction.

Perhaps you feel you are being treated unfairly?

Well, you know they just had to shoehorn Boba Fett in there somewhere. I remember as a kid Boba Fett was the sleeper hit of a character between Empire and Jedi. It was like, whoa, whereTF did the love for this guy come from all of the sudden?

They should have let Harrison Ford appear in a cameo playing Papa Solo.
He'd be a grumpy old man but still have an eye for the ladies (and Wookies in dresses).

Yeah and neither does the kid that plays Ren. Looks nothing like Solo or Leia. Maybe's its Marilyn Manson's kid? Was Leia a groupie?

Hey!! This did happen didn't it (i.e. the Kessel run)?
What about the Cantina boys - did they make an appearance?

No Cantina boys but of course Kessel run. Lando was on it as well.
