[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 1428721, member: 607"] Lucas is perhaps the WORST namer in history... Tatooine -> It's the name of the city where the desert scenes of Episode IV were shot... Count Dooku -> Means "Count From-the-Arse" in more than one language Queen Amidala -> Just call her Amigdala... Ewok -> The original draft for Ep. VI would take place in the wookie home planet of Kashyyyk*, and wookies would tear loose on the stormtroopers. But then Lucas decided whe liked Chewbacca a lot as a handyman, so the battle between the low-tech wookies and the high-tech Empire was a no-go. He then decided to cut the wookies' size in half and changed the syllables of their name: Woo-kie -> E-wooki -> Ewok... Kashyyyk -> c'mon... Luke Skywalker -> So you're hiding your worst foe's son from him. Here's a genius idea! Give it to his brother to take care and (here's the catch) don't change his last name!!!! Why not have him be Luke Lars (after Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru) [/QUOTE]
