Me too, I always wondered the same thing. I thought I read somewhere what it meant!
To Google............
Eo/eos is "dawn" in Greek. Also used to indicate "early."
(Captain EO brought dawn to night, light to darkness.)
"With the acquisition of Marvel and now of Lucasfilm,
Disney may have finally found the grail. You don't need
imagination or art. All you need is a brand."
- Neil Gabler
I found this:
Michael said himself in his book "Moonwalk", that the name "Eo" came from the Greek goddess of dawn, or the Greek word for "dawn". Even two thousand years ago, there were different Greek dialects, so while I too have heard the form "Eos", the goddess could very well have been called "Eo" in another dialect. For example, Mother Earth was called both "Gaia" and "Ge", so there were different forms of the names of the gods. And even if the name would be misspelled, it still is the goddess, or the greek word for "dawn", that Captain Eo's name refers too.
Captain GE just doesn't have the same ring to it. It sounds like a mascot for the conglomerate that sponsored the Carousel of Progress.
That is very interesting!Originally Posted by Mr Wiggins

Sorry...just made me laugh!
I'd always wondered what it stood for as well...
i never really thought about it, cause i had a friend named leo, but we call him eo for short (i know how much shorter can it get) so that was just my assumption
You know what they say- The party don't start 'til Jordon walks in.

Eleven Only.
I think that could have been the name of the ship. I'm not sure, just a guess at this point.
I thought it was a sour cream substitute. Oh wait, that was Captain IMO. Sorry. The ship does kinda look like a baked potato. Sorta.
Far from the frenzy of the frantic world above.
