Why is he named Ben? Leia only knew Obi-Wan as Obi-Wan and never even met the fucker. Han didn't even care about him beyond getting paid.
Bail or hell even Anakin would make more sense

in da old books he was called anakin and he had proper force austism. like he could use the force to see how all the wires and pipes in buildings were routed and had some kind of empathic connection with machines (is the shuttle okay?) at least that's how i remember it

Well, she knew of Obi-Wan to send him a message on R2-D2. Obi-Wan brought Luke along, reuniting him with Leia and allowing them to defeat the Empire.

This plus presumably Luke told Leia all about Ben Kenobi and how awesome he was.

That might actually have been better

>>Han didn't care beyond getting paid.

>>Came back to help blow up the Death Star

Pick one.

that has nothing to do with ben kenobi

Anakin Solo was the chosen one reborn, but it was his older brother, Jacen, that went to the evulz.

Luke named his kid Ben since that makes more sense.

Because they want Kylo to ultimately be the "hope" of the sequel trilogy and thought they were being clever. Just watch. They've already had Rey call him their last hope and had a line spouted that if you lose hope when you can't see it, you'll never make it through the dark. Nothing they do in these movies isn't calculated for one reason or another, even if it's just calculated to "fix" something that came before, be a weak "subversion" or piss someone off. The name was very deliberate and they made some weak excuse as to why Han and Leia chose it to throw off the metaphor.

Ben is a cool name. Obi-Wan is probably one of billions of Bens in the galaxy.

what was lucas trying to tell us?

ben means "son" as in "the son of"
Ben solo= the son of solo

Leia, Luke and Han owed their lives to Obi-wan as he sacrificed himself to allow them to escape the Death Star, Bail told Leia about him as a great general and he was one of the only other Jedi they knew and they knew their kid would prob have the force

You forget to add Space Chad dies like a bitch from his own son.

>Anakin Solo was the chosen one reborn
Explain the events of this book, then

>your retarded virgin friend fucks up teaching your son so badly he literally becomes evil

What the fuck? She knew Obi-Wan, she sended the message asking for help straight to him, Luke was only colateral.

Teenage Jedi torture porn.

Because your virgin wizard friend tried to murder your son, and as a result he became another murderer virgin wizard.

Leia literally refers to Obi-Wan as "Ben Kenobi"

Han named him after his childhood podracing hero, Ben Quadrinos.

This.

Given the chance Han would name him some stupid shit like Greedo. Leia gave the kid a normal name using her brother as a wedge.

> OH YOU'RE NAMING HIM AFTER MY MENTOR?! THAT'S SO SWEET! THANK YOU HAN, YOU'RE THE BEST BROTHER-IN-LAW IN THE GALAXY! GOSH IF YOU CHANGED HIS NAME NOW I WOULD BE CRUSHED! BUT YOU WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ME, I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET MY NEPHEW BEN! I HOPE HE'S STRONG WITH THE FORCE, THEN I CAN TRAIN HIM! THAT WILL BE GREAT!

How about Chewbacca Solo
