Do you think some of the SW names are a bit weird ?

    Han Solo

    Leia Organa

    both have a kinda sexual overtone/underone to them

    Obi Wankenobi ( sounds a bit pervy in Britain!)
    Chewbacca
    Padme
    Yarael Poof

    do you think Lucas had any intent with the way he named them ? any others you think are weird?

    Hmm...maybe to others, not to me though. Obi-Wan possibly, the crudest use of the name of them all.

    The only thing I think of when I see Chewbacca, is chewing tobacco!

    (I know, boring!) :p

    Han means "he" in Swedish. Solo of course means alone. Han Solo is a loner, man alone, etc.

    In Greek Leia mean 'white or light'. In Semetic it means 'night'. this is symbology being used as leia and Luke are twins of light. Organa means "pure".

    Padme is something about jewels.

    Luke is not only alos light but is some odd offshoot of Loki. Loki stole boots which allowed him to fly, hence Skywalker.

    Everything I typed here have multiple meanings. None of the above is a singular absolute.

    I just said Obi-Wan Kenobi in a kent accent, all i can say is that is the most pervy-sexual thing i have ever heard.

    To me Mace Windu is always weird because i keep thinking of him as Mace Window. Curse my mind
