Do you guys think it would be a definite bad idea to give a character the last name of Solo? I mean Han Solo is, like, an iconic character from a mega-franchise. But, surely there have been other characters in other stories with the (in my character's case self-given) surname of Solo. But again, Han had it first. What do guys think? Should I give this character the surname of Solo, or should I not?

Hmm. I understand where you're coming from, being freshly introduced to the Star Wars world. I don't see any harm in it, as I've done little references like that myself when I was SW-crazy. ^.^ It might look obvious, though, so if you're writing something that you want to look professional, you might have to think of a different surname.
I'm exaggerating a bit when I say that, but...<.< Yeah! I've been having fun with that stuff, especially watching Star Wars! ^.^ Ooh, that's awesome! What does he think of them?
Yeah. XD
I get what you mean... Cool! ^v^ He loves it, a little scared of Joba the Hut, but otherwise he just gets so excited about it.
Yep! ^v^ Aww, Jabba is pretty creepy. xD That's awesome!

If the story isn't space themed and doesn't have a Star Wars vibe it should be fine. Also if you paired it with a really unquie name that sounds nothing like Han you should be good. It would also help if your character isn't like Han Solo as far as personality, looks, and they way they dress.
You sticking around for a little bit or are you leaving like you said?
I’m headed out. It’s a staggered exit, meaning I’m gonna hop back on for, like, one or two days, just to say any final goodbyes to people, but that’s about it. Not really participating in any more threads. Also taking this time to close up any open threads. But I’m definitely leaving! I just didn’t want it to feel super abrupt, ya know?
Yes I do actually. In all seriousness that makes sense. I can kinda relate. While my Ninjago fan fiction is mostly fiction, there are some elements from reality I have included. Writing it has become something really important to me.
Thanks. I edit at snail speed though...
Well, sadly I don’t anymore... If I was sticking around though, I’d be glad to tell you more. Who knows, maybe if I get it published, you’ll see it floatin’ around! I mean, you wouldn’t know it was me, but hey, nonetheless! Yeah, glad you get it! Writing has become a way for me to vent. I’ve been dealing with a lot of stuff lately, so writing helps. I want to write things that mean something!
Don’t we all? xD Pleasure talkin’ to you, ninjagofanmam! Good luck out there!

I think I'm probably gonna go with another name. Thanks for your help though! ^.^

Well, it does take place in another galaxy, though it doesn't have much of a SW vibe to it. The name's pretty different from Han though. As far as the character's personality, looks and how he dresses, he's nothing like Han, at all. xD I think I'm probably gonna use a different surname.
