Why GL named Dooku Darth Tyrannus...

Of course you don't.

stay ontopic

Three guards on the "ship" in ROTJ are named after a phrase from another sci-fi movie

hmm nobody answered me on the LEIA ORGANA thing?

Actually they did, but it was not at all impressive.

not impressif to you that is

Oh come on, yerss, surely you don't count it sounding vaguely like 'organic' as one of your best name meanings?

I'm surprised no-one has meniotned that Dooku means something.

I like to wait with that till after EpII

I think Duku means poison in Japanese. And it means money in Papiamento or something like that.

people, face facts' some names just sound cool,
i.e. sand person no. 10,
i should run a fashion label.

"for all your desert wear, come to sp10, the only place for inline tuscan gear."

Wow ... with a catch phrase like that you'll make a killing .....
on Tatooine.

You could add to that : " Check out our new range of russet red habits for jedi over 50 years old. If you're into brown, we got that shit down."

And Count Dooku sounds too much like Count Dracula.

hmm nobody answered me on the LEIA ORGANA thing?

Yes, there are indeed names that mean absolutely nothing, I never said all had a meaning, like C-3PO, or R2-D2

Well, at least we know where those names come from!

You may not have said that every name means something, but you have consistently tried to make out there is meaning behind names when there is not.

never said that about 3PO nor Chuwbacca nor R2 ...

You have done it with a ton of other spurious ones, though. And all three of those names DO have a definitive story behind hoe they came inot being!

I'm talking about the meanings

Finti: Organa is a play on words and it's supposed to suggest "organic". It is also an Old French name meaning "Organ Maker". This fits in well with the present "organic" definition. Both give a feeling of anti war - anti "hard -edged technology" as Alderaan certainly is. Lucas originally spelled the name Ogana

Yup! I told you it wasn't convincing.

Its all just a bunch of names that George made up. Thats all.

Indeed!
