    Best names: Obi-Wan Kenobi(flowing), Barriss Offee(exotic)

    Worst: I don´t know yet. Tyranus is crappy and Siri sounds cliché , though the character herself is great.

    Best: Leia. It's short, simple. And it sounds like it's not totally coming from Earth. And it's poetic too. ;)


    Worst EVER: Jobal and Ruwee. It's NOT poetic. Come on, Jobal goes better to a MAN and Ruwee goes better to a WOMAN. Yet it's the opposite... Just awful... Awful!!! Pooja too... *Shudders*

    Count Dooku is terrible too. Especially when you think of it longly... Count Dookula. Please, George :oops:


    Worst NICKNAME ever: Ani. Especially when they write it in books 'Annie'. It's a GIRL'S NAME!!! And you still wonder why that kid turned out a psychopath :rolleyes:


    Special prize for non-originality: Shmi and Padmé. Why? When you find out a Hindu Goddess and an Indian actress are both named Padma Lakshmi, you understand how imaginative George really is.

    I can't believe only one other person brought up Lobot as worst name.

    The guy is obviously a human being, so the "obot" thing makes no sense. And the fact that "Lob" comes into play because he wears a mechanical device on his ears(hence "lobe") is on the same level as naming characters Yak Face and Walrus Man.

    Best? Han Solo.

    Actually I thought Lobot's name came from the fact that he had a LOBOTomy.


    Best Name- Lama Su, it sounds cool and methodical much like the Kaminoans themselves very methodical and clean.

    Worst- I'm not sure about this one

    Worst: Awww, come on people! Good Golly! If you ain't votin' for Jar Jar Binks as the absolute WORST name in the Star Wars series, then you need your Bongo stolen!

    Coolest: Darth Vader. The idea behind the Darths as a sort of military title then a character description (Mauler, Tyrant, Invader, Insidious) is pretty cool.

    Best: Boba Fett. No contest.

    Worst: Any "Darth" other than Darth Vader or Darth Maul.

    Honourary Mention: Obi-Wan Kenobi. As others have said, very flowing, but too Japanese sounding; makes me think of Toshiro Mifune. I prefer plain ol' Ben.

    Best - Palpatine. Luke Skywalker. Han Solo. Tarkin. Chewbacca. Boba Fett. Obi Wan Kenobi. Darth Maul. Darth Vader.


    Worst - Mace Windu. Doofus. Grevious. Yaddle. Annie!

    I must admit though, I haven't been that responsive to any of the names in the PT so far.

    Best: Kyle Katarn, its roles off the tough so well.Perfect for a no-nonsence getting-the-job-done-kinda-guy.

    Worst: Farl Cort,a very, very minor character in one of the X-Wing series books. My best guess it was a result of Stalkpole having a nasty bought of writers block. Happens to all of us.

    It was mentioned once already but...

    Best: Droopy McCool

    Worst: Droopy McCool

    Contradictory you say...

    Well ESB is one of my favorite movies and AotC is one of my least favorite. Lucas has that effect on people.

    Worst: Count Dooku (even though I think his character is great; "Dooku" is just too close to "Doodoo").
