It was just something that the pilot made up, and they only said it once 30 minutes before the movie ended. If the movie wasn't named Rogue One it would have been a minor detail at best.

 

The title is pretty much what I expected. Simple and to the point. I just hope the story turns out to be good after all the behind-the-scenes director drama.

 

If he does not go meet Marla then this movie is entirely fail.

 

I'm fine with the title.

 

Yeah, could have called it Life Debt: A Star Wars Story or Shooting First: A Stars Wars Story.

Personally I like

Star Wars: A Han Solo Story

 

Doesn't change the fact that that's still who the movie was entirely about: the team that made up Rogue One. No one ever says "Guardians of the Galaxy" in that movie until the end when Star-Lord answers a question with it, and you only hear the team term "The Avengers" once in that entire movie, yet those are the names of those movies because of the same reason: that's who those teams are and who those movies are about.

 

In reference to a comparison made a while back, I would call it Space Ventura.

 

It's a more interesting title than Peter Quill.

 

Heh, I see, so it's just a minor passing reference in Rogue One that shouldn't dictate the title, but it's okay for Guardians to do it because it's more interesting (to you) despite each of them (incl. The Avengers) being titled what they are for the exact same reasons. That's perfectly sound logic.

 

It doesn't matter. I'm not saying Rogue One is a boring title, it's just a boring movie. Solo is a uncreative movie title in a series of uncreative movies.

 

Surely Guardians is named after the comic of the same name?

 

Pet Smuggler?

 

Titles That Would Have Been Better Than Solo: A Star Wars Story

They suggested.

Han Solo: A Star Wars Story
The Rebel: A Star Wars Story
Kessel Run: A Star Wars Story
Han & Chewie: A Star Wars Story
Smuggler's Run: A Story Story

How bout Star Wars: A Solo Story.

 

Yes, it could be about Han delivering a baby rancor to Jabba.

 

Now THAT I do completely agree with you on 100%.

Haha, or better yet, how about none of these silly "A Star Wars Story" movies at all. It's just such unnecessary overkill.

 

I'm sure when we get more details on the plot, we fans can come up with something else.

 

Ron Howard came in 3/4ths the way there to redo the whole thing basically. Not Whedon/Justice League levels of redo, but Disney wasn't happy with what Lord and Miller made.

 

So there will be a scene of a fake Dewback with Han stuck inside and he finally makes it out by stripping and sliding out a crack he made (on the rear portion of the dewback)? Boba Fett, observing from a distance is just like "WTF?".

 

How did you get a hold of the script?

 

I was under the impression Ron Howard was re-doing more on this than Whedon was doing on JL.
