De acordo com Solo: Contos de Vandor (um livro canônico contendo várias lendas que são contadas sobre Han Solo e os protagonistas do filme Solo), as "formas de consumo" do Imperial exigem um sobrenome sem exceção . Solo é uma solução comum para indivíduos que não têm segundo nome ou não estão dispostos a compartilhá-lo.
Then just the other night, this retired Imperial intake officer said the Empire's standard Military intake form requires a last name, and the computer system rejects any application if the last name is left blank. So if you come from a culture where people only have one name, Joining the Empire means getting a second one whether you like it or not. She said different intake officers -fill in different last names, and two of the most common choices are NA - for 'not applicable' - and SOLO.
If that’s what happened to Han, I guess he's lucky. He could have become known as Han Na
Han parece considerar seu nome como um nome . Toda a sua família está morta e ele não se sente suficientemente ligado a ninguém (além de Qi'ra) para usar o nome da família como substituto.
No romance júnior do filme, a implicação é mais que ele não sente que há alguém que é digno dele. Ao recusar um segundo nome, ele está cortando seus laços com Corellia.The man waited, but Han didn’t say anything else. “Han what?” he asked. Han frowned, confused. Han was his name. It had always been his name. He didn’t have another.
“Who are your people?” the man pressed.
His people? His family was gone. The White Worms hadn’t been family. The closest thing he had was Qi’ra and he didn’t know her people’s name, either. Neither seemed to be the answer the officer was looking for.
He shrugged. “I have no people. I’m alone.” The words hurt more than he had expected.
“Han. Han what?” The recruiter gazed at him impatiently, eyebrows raised, fingers poised over the keypad to complete the application form. “Who are your people?”
Glancing over his shoulder, Han cast one last look at the world he was leaving behind. And Qi’ra. That final image of her—her face on the other side of the glass, her voice giving him permission to leave as Rebolt and the others pulled her away from him—would be burned into his brain forever.
