Some people never watched MASH and it shows.
Stuff they avoided telling us about Han Solo

HA! One of my favorite episodes had Hawkeye going crazy trying to find out what B.J. stood for!
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.

And after all of that, we never did find out.HA! One of my favorite episodes had Hawkeye going crazy trying to find out what B.J. stood for!
Is it clear? Do we know the truth or do we only know the story Han told himself or what someone else told him?
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.

Given Han's age and the assumed time he's been a street rat, his father working for CEC would have been before the Clone Wars, and possibly during the Clone Wars, depending on if he was laid off by the Empire, or prior to the war and Han's falling out with his father somehow related to the war (mind you Han was a child during the war, being something like ten years old when the war ended).
