It was supposed to be a big revelation.
Unfortunately, the confirmation that the Han Solo movie will be called exactly what everyone has been expecting for months has provoked a rush of fan memes, tweets and hilarious alternatives.
Now that everyone knows that the movie will be called ‘Solo’ it seems that the return of the galaxy’s most lovable rogue is being upstaged by the introduction of the galaxy’s most lovable (some might say annoying) new characters.
Take notice, Disney, this is the movie everyone really wants.
The Star Wars Anthology movie’s title theories have been bandied about for months and back in June images of crew T-shirts and baseball caps featuring a logo name (which turned out to be correct) were leaked on social media.
Replacement director Howard finally made the big reveal today online and was handed a huge sign by a helpful Wookiee extra in a cute short video.
Fans wasted no time in mocking up their alternative version and one name was a clear favourite.
Not even Han’s infamous charms can compete with a squawking little fluffy flightless bird from Ahch-To, it seems.
After the latest Last Jedi trailer the Porgs have become ubiquitous on social media and fans quickly worked them into a new poster.
One ever cleverly turned the ‘s’ into a dollar sign, perhaps commenting on the evident merchandising value of the new characters.
The power of the porg can work both ways, however.
One clever fan also used the trending clip of a porg screaming to represent their excitement about the Solo movie announcement.
SOLO WILL BE RELEASED IN MAY 2018
