Yeah, it's kind of like the Ellis Island scene in Godfather II, except everyone who is by themselves now has the same last name.

i dunno, i kind of like the idea that "Solo" is sort of the SW universe's equivalent to, like, "Esposito" in Spanish, a last name you're essentially given if you don't have one

like, it sort of sounds stupid but it's not an idea without real-life precedent

He literally directly tells Rose that's what he's doing :psyduck: she doesn't believe him at first but the audience is never given any reason to assume he's lying

to be honest i have a feeling this is partly because finn is very black, rey is very white, poe is white-passing and also a guy, and disney has all the balls of a gelding horse (and the right wing crowd getting Very Mad about TFA probably didn't help things)

e: also it's amazing that, upon forgetting poe's name, i typed "pilot guy from the new star wars movies" into google and it immediately pulled up the loving wookieepedia page for Poe Dameron

I just think it’s funny that Disney basically refuses to design a new spaceship in a franchise about space wars involving spaceships going pew pew blammo

i mean, it makes sense in the context of the new trilogy- the First Order is basically a cargo cult version of the Empire, so of course all their kit is pretty much based off imperial designs, and the Resistance just straight up can't afford new ships and is using old Rebellion gear.

i'm not gonna lie, i kind of like the Trevorrow script?

like, it's really weird and goofy, but it's a weird and goofy that fits Star Wars fine.
