Why GL named Dooku Darth Tyrannus...

Ok, you got a picture of Dooku, ... in the trailer you have him (same dude) with a curved red lightsabre... you have him fighting with Anakin (and he's still alive after that)
You can't say it was a lucky shot

I never said that palpatine was breaking the sith code, i merely asked how long sidious could have gone without taking an apprentice.
Even in rotj i think vader is still the apprentice, obviously palpatine has been studying the dark side longer and so in terms of just experience palaptine is far more experienced than vader and has mastered the darkside better. I suspect if vader was pitted against palpatine without the hep of luke, vader would have lost. Palpatines greater ability is expressed in his statement when he tells luke that his friends are falling into a trap, i don't think vader saw that one coming.

Just have to throw my meager 2 cents into this thread....

That "Luke" is derived from "Lucas" is correct.

As most of you know, I'm sure, R2-D2 was named after a reel of film and C3PO was the result of George messing around with some number & letter combinations. Chewbacca's name was inspired from Lucas's dog Indiana. (Hence the dog referral by Sean Connery in Grail) BTW, in Close Encounters that was Spielberg's own dog that came off the ship at the end.

Leia, Han and Ben are not uncommon "earth" names.

While most (not necessarily all) other SW names can be traced to many meanings in many different languages, I don't think they are meant to have "hidden meanings" in the films. George hates writing scripts; I just don't see going to the trouble of researching the possible meaning of names before he decides on them. IMHO OC.

Ben is a normal name around here actually ... Ben comes from Benjamin means "son of luck"

Ben is Hebrew for "Son"
Obi is an African name which means "heart."
Wan is an Old English word which means "dark." Webster's dictionary gives the definition "unnaturally pale from grief."
Ken means "Knowledge of.."
(from a website)

now i know i'm now high on coffee but is it not possible the gl just used names because he thought they sounded cool. there's a radical and out there theory for ya all. he obviously thought ob1 sounded cool because its the name of the nightclub in "Temple of Doom".

it's the other way around

Spielberg got it from Lucas (they are very good friends)

i know, i'm just trying to emphasise that if a name sounds cool, and it fits the character then who cares what it means. not george lucas me thinks.

Wonder what Jar Jar REALLY means..... 😂

I don't have an idea yet about that one

If Vader was pitted against Palpatine, my money would be on Vader - no amount of sith lightening would overwhelm Vader - whereas Palpatine doesn't use a lightsabre - and as far as strength with the force is concerned - Vader has the highest midiclorean count of all. He's the chosen one you must see ( with apologies to yerss ! )

Also Ackbar is very similarly to Akbar, who was probably the greatest of all the mughal emperors to rule India in the middle ages, and he was a great general of war.

Well Obi is very similare to OB which is the same as tampong, shall we read more into that?????????

but who was first? OB1 or OB?

We have an oriental food brand called Suzie-Wan, maybe that's his sister.

No! It's a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away remember?

So? IS there anything about Suzi-Wan you want to tell me?

yes, wrong galaxy, wrong time

You seem to know a lot about Suzi-Wan. Does Lara know that?

Because I said it's in the wrong gal, wrong time?

And I said, you seem to know a lot about Suzi-Wan. So many details about where she lives, what time she gets up...

I don't know what you are talking about!
