Stuff they avoided telling us about Han Solo

In Solo, it’s clear that Han knew his father (who used to work on shipbuilding, iirc), yet he rather insistently never uses or reveals his original surname. Why do you suppose that is?


Because Disney Lucasfilm had unnecessarily changed his backstory. One of the few aspects of "Solo" I didn't like.
 
What backstory did we know?

Last I checked only the films counted and there's concept art of Han being in ROTS.
 
Han: "This is a Corellian YT-1300."
Lando: "Oh. You know your stuff."
Han: "I've been on one before. My dad worked the line at the CEC plant before he got laid off. He built these. He wanted to be a pilot, but..."
Lando: "You, uh, close with your old man?"
Han: "Not really."

I think that's all we need, really. He wasn't close with his old man and he considers himself to be alone; clearly, there's bad blood there that he probably doesn't want to talk about, nor does he want to associate with his father's name.
