Star Wars does n’t have a great chronicle in China . While The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi have been record - set megablockbusters in the United States , in China they ’ve done considerably worse , with The Last Jedi netting only $ 41 million in the area during its meagerly three weeks of panoptic covering .
So for Solo : A Star Wars Story , it appears that the marketing is take a slightly unlike tack . Namely , by not calling it a Star Wars movie . As reported by a media analyst following Chinese film , the movie has a more unsubdivided title in Chinese :
fit in to local media Mtime , Official Formosan title of Solo : A Star Wars Story is Ranger Solo(游侠索罗 ) . And STAR WARS(星球大战 ) is abandon in Solo ’s local rubric after Star warfare : The Last Jedi flop in China.pic.twitter.com/FsOTZcxENW

While every Star Wars film let go of thus far in China has included the character for Star Wars in its Chinese Title , Solo is being pertain to just as Ranger Solo . No Star Wars involve apply .
Whether or not that shift will convert the tenor of the motion-picture show ’s marketing or reception is unclear . But it is a pretty attention-getting name — albeit one that sounds more like that solo Green Ranger Power Rangers pic I ’ve been dream of since childhood than Star Wars . As a interlingual rendition , “ forest fire fighter ” is sort of a fun way to think of the moon-curser , renegade , and hotshot pilot that is Han Solo . It ’s clean , too .
