Buckwheat Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 There is a character named Porkins? :lol: (I have just watched the 6 movies, so I have no idea about the EU or novels or cartoons or games or whatever other characters.) But yeah, I agree that it is probably just because I am used to the other names and know which characters they belong to that I do not find them silly at all. I actually really like the word Tatooine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyenon15 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 There's also the fact that 30 years ago it was difficult to get a character's name out there almost a year before the movie was released. My first experience of Boba Fett was seeing him on TV, not hearing the name for a year first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 And the other two Something, Something,Something Dark Side and It's a Trap We have to ease her into these things. I accidentally spoiled the whole Vader/Luke thing in TTTNE assuming she knew about it, and got told off! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawkcabi Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I always thought "Porkins" was just Family Guy making fun of that character, never believed that was his actual name until a short while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetiger Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 IMO the worst Star Wars character's name is Shev (Palpatine)... it sounds like 'chef' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 On May the 4th, my Facebook feed was inundated with Star Wars pictures and meme's of varying quality/humor. By far my favorite was a picture of Ben and Luke in his cave the first time Luke holds the lightsaber. The caption says "This was your father's lightsaber... he murdered 30 children with it." :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did not know was that Anakin is the one who turns into Vader because I only watched The Phantom Menace by then.

Never thought of that... :lol: "Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, though your uncle wouldn't allow it. No idea why. It's not like I took this out of the police evidence room because it's a murder weapon linking your father to over 50 deaths, including children who looked up to him. All to pay for your mother's life with blood. Then he killed her. Well, not completely. She actually died of a broken heart, even though she had you and your sis... um, future to live for. Never mind any of that. Here. Try not to chop off your hand with it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooog Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yoda, Chewie, Tatooine, Boba Fett.... Yeah, Phasma isn't a great name, but it's par for the course.

ab aeterno Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 But calling a slave on a desolate planet filled with moisture farms "Skywalker" is a great name... Yeah, but Skywalker is at least a plausible name, you could imagine it having been translated from other cultures. Besides, people don't have to be named after where they are from, it'd be like criticizing Dawn French for not being French. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
