Star Wars fans are on a rollercoaster at the moment.

If you thought the teases, little nuggets of information and hints were all just too much, wait until you hear this.

Han Solo is NOT Han Solo, at least that's not his real name. Why do the producers do this to us?

During a lecture at the University of Southern California on Thursday, Disney CEO Bob Iger gave a quick update on the new movie Han Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Iger said the movie will follow the hero from 18 to 24-years-old.

“There are a few significant things that happen in Han Solo’s life," he said. "Like acquiring a certain vehicle and meeting a certain Wookiee that will happen in this film,” Iger said. “But you will also discover how he got his name.”

Wait, hold on a second? Since when was Han Solo not his actual name? Disney , what are you doing?

Let's just recap here... "How he got his name.”

We already knew Han Solo was an orphan that later turned to smuggling, but this is a whole other kettle.

Fans can't cope with this unexpected revelation.

How Han Solo got to be his real name wasn't something we ever really needed to be revealed, because he's Han Solo and will always be Han Solo. Ok? That's like saying James Bond isn't James Bond.

There were plenty of suggestions as to what it could be *cough*.

We will just have to wait and see what on earth he's really called when the Han Solo movie comes out...
