pavonis Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm remarking over the revisionism of the character. Not whether being for injustice is a good or bad thing.How much of that "revisionism" is simply stuff that just doesn't match your own pre-conceived notions of Han's backstory (I.e., head canon)?

Poe Dameron Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The most consistent backstory about Han was that he freed Chewbacca from slavery, which destroyed his imperial career and left him to be a smuggler. In that sense, Leia's saying that would be somewhat accurate. That said, if the description of her eulogy is correct, it also feels instantly dated by present-day concerns.

Filthy Jawa Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Social Justice Warrior. It's used by some people as a dirty term for people that actually care about other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Therm Scissorpunch! And you thought Snoke was a stupid character name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wader Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Not like Star Wars has a good track record for character names. I'm still shaking my head at Dooku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Jawa Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Who is Therm Scissorpunch? Is that a main character or an Elan Sleazebaggano who is never named? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 "Scissorpunch" sounds like a nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 "Scissorpunch" sounds like a nickname.Sounds like a finishing button mash combo move from Streetfighter II if you ask me. I found this image. Might be the Jabba-type character of the Solo film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 He is probably going to be sitting in the background of some bar and have no lines and his name never mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Is that for real? A giant lobster will be a character in the new Han Solo movie? I found some early concept art for Therm Scissorpunch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 He is probably going to be sitting in the background of some bar and have no lines and his name never mentioned. Yeah. Personally, I love the horribly cheesy names they come up with for background characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Here is the full set of Denny's 12 Solo trading cards. You can also see Therm Scissorpunch (presumably) at 0:15 of this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16&v=s8q-y2NkIK0 Is Therm Scissorpunch the strangest name we have seen in Star Wars since Elan Sleazebaggano? Makes me wonder if George is still working at Lucasfilm. "Scissorpunch" sounds like a nickname. Now that I think about it... Therm is probably short for Thermidor. People typically use scissors to help them eat lobster.https://www.amazon.com/Lobster-Shrimp-Seafood-Scissors-Kitchen/dp/B00W31NSCQ ...and maybe punch refers to the new Lobster Lover's Punch at Red Lobster? https://www.redlobster.com/menu/specials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robin Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Youre overthinking it, Wicket. Lobster claws open and close in a scissoring manner plus punching you know with hands and this dude has claws for hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Wicket Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Youre overthinking it, Wicket. Lobster claws open and close in a scissoring manner plus punching you know with hands and this dude has claws for hands.I guess...but I still feel fairly confident that Therm is short for Thermidor.

And why are starfighters and 'droids labeled with our alphabet rather than Aurebesh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
