I might as well be the one to post the obvious. It’s Raymond Luxury Yacht. (pronounced “Throat Warbler Mangrove”) The real shocker is that Luke Skywalker’s real name is Luka…and he lives on the second floor. ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > I think he meant it in the sense of “earned his reputation” and he misspoke. Nah. There’s just a flashback to when he’s born, and we see how he gets his name. Turns out, he was a twin. Han is the family name, and they named him Solo in mourning. ---

In the old EU, he was a cashiered Imperial officer. If they go by that then he probably changed his name when he became a smuggler. Jabba probably would not have accepted Lt. Law Andorder ---

I always thought it was weird that Han Solo and Leia Organa would name a child Kylo Renn. Either names work differently in the Star Wars universe or I’m guessing that Han’s original surname was Renn. It’s all very needlessly silly. I’m much more interested in how he & Chewbacca became such friends. ---

I’m much more interested in how he & Chewbacca became such friends. His given name was Ben. He was renamed Kylo Ren when he turned to the dark side and joined the “Knights of Ren”.
