That's not super worse than Solo, Maul, Skywalker, Grievous, or Darth Vader as far as aptronyms go, though.

Star Wars is dumb, but the names are extremely dumb on purpose.

There's a sith named Freedon Nadd, which is considerably worse than all of those. The absolute loving worst names were Lucas' proposed names for Starkiller in The Force Unleashed: Darth Icky, or Darth Insanius.

Darth Insanius sounds like an awesome alternative rap group lead name.

I'm imagining a 400lb black guy wearing a sailor moon mask introducing himself as Darth Insanius before dropping some sick beats on the stage and getting everyone going.

How is that worse? I'd guess it's meant to invoke "no freedom", but that's infinitely more subtle than any of my examples.

This is the same guy who created Watto (fun fact: The racist Jewish caricature was originally supposed to be C-3PO), Ewoks, Jar-Jar Binks, put a musical number into Return of the Jedi, and just the prequel trilogy in general.

Lucas is NEVER just loving with people when he throws out stupid poo poo like that.

quote:

- "JJ Abram's has listened to critics - The new star wars movie features the most diverse cast yet!"

- African American actor John Boyega will be the new lead actor

- All the female characters will again be strong independent womyn who don't need no man, and African actress Lupita Nyong’o will be playing a prominent role.

- The white female lead (Han Solo's daughter), will fall in love with the black lead character played by John Boyega (A PG sex scene is confirmed).

- All the white characters will be privileged, or evil (Expect the theme of ingrained privilege to be repeated throughout the film)

- The "bad guys" will be generic Disney villains, played by white actors - whose primary motivation for being evil will be that they are racists.

- The overarching plot will be that the Sith are trying to bring back a great Sith leader who died thousands of years ago, and presumably his ideology (This sith leader will subconsciously represent Adolf Hitler).

- The subconscious idea of Sith being right wing fascist Nazi's will be further reinforced by the use of a cross pattern red light saber (reminiscent of a Red Swastika in shape), and Nazi style military uniform.

- The film will rely on exploiting fan nostalgia (e.g "Look! It's Chewy again! Haha remember when he did x in the original and now he's doing x again!") while also pushing as much leftist pro-authoritarian ideology as possible in order to get decent fan-reviews for what is objectively an awful film.

- There is rumored to be either a gay, or inter-species romance briefly depicted in the film.

:lol: Neo-Nazis are such fags. Not sure how you're gonna be an Aryan superman if all you do is get mad over shows about space wizards.

It really is though, except maybe for Grievous. Darth *anything* I can let slide since it turns out those are (Title)+(madeupbadguyname). Perhaps the only positive contribution the prequels and EU have given us.

J J Abrams made a good Star Trek reboot but ruined it with a half-assed sequel, so it's a good thing he's passing on the director's chair to the guy who made that lovely Breaking Bad episode about the fly.

Why did Obi Wan Kenobi go into hiding under the alias Ben Kenobi? Luke guessed his identity within seconds, anyone could've figured it out.

Leia knew his pretend name based on her first meeting with Luke. Really? What good is it that the daughter of some guy you knew long ago knows where you hide and what your assumed identity is? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Obi wan didn't think this through.

Kenobi also didn't even bother changing Luke's last name, and put him with his real uncle and aunt. Guy didn't even try.

It helps that Tatooine was supposed to be a backwater shithole in the middle of nowhere nobody would ever be unless they're a subsistence farmer or a lowlife drifter. Or wait, did Lucas intend for Darth Vader to be Luke's father by the first movie? Because that would make it a bit dumber, but again, even if he used to live there, Darth (remember that was his first name) might not have bothered sending anyone to check on his former family, perhaps assuming they just got eaten by the Tuscans.


But no, the EU has established that Tatooine is like, the single most important place in the universe where basically everyone cool shows up at one point or another.

Kenobi is just bad at hiding.

If I remember right, Luke being Vader's son and Leia's brother weren't things Lucas intended while making the first movie. They're things he came up with much later.

I think the movies do a good enough job on their own establishing Tatooine as the center of the universe. It's visited in four out of six of the films, more than any other planet, and we'll probably go back to it for the new trilogy if what we saw was Tatooine.

Five of the six, actually. Empire Strikes back is the only one where Tatooine never appears. Revenge of the Sith only has it for like a minute but its there.

So why do I keep hearing people say that Stormtroopers are clones? Where in any of the films does it even suggest this? Even in the DVD cuts where they went out of their way to redub Boba Fett to sound like Jango Fett because hes a clone, they didnt redub the stormtroopers. Who started spreading this lie? The films themselves certainly didnt.
