1. How to come up with a name for Star Wars?
You've probably seen how people come up with fancy names for themselves? But perhaps you don’t know how?
Using the formula below, you can easily come up with a Star Wars name for yourself.
There are several such formulas, here is one of them:
- Take the first 3 letters of your name.
- Add the last 2 letters of your last name.
It turns out your “Star Wars” name. After:
- Take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name.
- Add the first 3 letters of the city in which you were born.
This is your “Star Wars” surname.
Example: Let's say your name is Vladimir Putin. Mother's maiden name is Turina (I don't know the last name of Putin's mother). You were born in St. Petersburg. So, the first name is Vlain, the last name is Tusan. So, your name is Vlain Tusan. By the way, my name is Makov Sovor.
Another variation of George Lucas' formula to find out your name:
- Take the first 3 letters of your last name.
- Add the first 2 letters of your name.
Is that your name. The surname is determined in the same way as in the previous case. Then, if your name is Vladimir Putin, then your name is in Star Wars - Putvl Tusan. And then my name is Basma Sovor.
To change the name a little more, add a "Star Wars" appeal:
Darth Vlain Tusan
Grand Moff Vlain Tusan
Obi-Wan Vlain Tusan (at least "Obi-Wan" is a noble title)
2. Other names in Star Wars.
The names of Star Wars characters are not accidental. There is an explanation why Lucas came up with these names. Here's what he says: "I simply came up with names phonetically. I wanted part of the character to live in his name. The names had to sound unusual, but not trivial, like the sci-fi "Zeno" and "Zorba."
Darth Vader was taken from Danish and can be roughly translated as "Dark Father".
Anakin Skywalker's name was taken from the name of the race of giants from the book "Origins" (Anakin), and Skywalker - to show his character - is translated from English as "Skywalker".
Han Solo. Han is a derivative of John, a very simple name. Solo means that a person adheres to the philosophy of being alone.
Chewbacca. Some people like to chew tobacco. Previously, names were given according to occupation. How do we know that maybe Chuya's ancestors loved chewing tobacco?
3. Yoda's unique sentence structure.
Yoda, the great Jedi sage, constructs his sentences uniquely when he speaks. Here are some comments on his way of speaking:
"If Yoda is so powerful in the Force, why can't he form sentences correctly?"
"When you are 900 years old and look as good, you won't." - Yoda
Personally, I like the way he speaks :).

Obviously there is not and was not a problem with inventing your own heroes - the inhabitants of the well-known Star Wars galaxy. The characters in Star Wars are so varied and diverse that you literally marvel: bounty hunters, Gungans, Jedi infantrymen, Admiral Ackbar, droids, Twi'leks, imperial thugs, Corellians - and these are far from the main characters.
Han Solo vs Luke Skywalker
Without a doubt, there are many more Han lovers in the world than Lukomans; this can be explained extremely simply. After all, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) is almost a post-modern concept, a hero who deftly and successfully comments on the storyline of which he is a part. He is the best pilot (smuggler), a sarcastic, arrogant guy compared to whom even skilled Jedi “smoke nervously on the sidelines.” His fans are fervently convinced that neither Leia (in a slave bikini), nor the Death Star, nor the power and plot-shaping tragedy of Vader make the fantasy epic the very best in the world - it is personified by Han Solo. This is not some cloned Star Wars character, this is the real main character and Chewbacca's loyal friend. By the way, in a story where devotion and fidelity are quite rare, but deception and cunning flourish, the viewer is always glad to see such a powerful two-hundred-year-old Wookiee next to his favorite hero, especially when things get hot. Luke stands out among the other characters in that he is complacently allowed to grow up. Over the course of the entire story, the character not only successfully completes the Jedi training course, but also takes revenge on Khan’s “old friend” and manages to intimidate the Emperor. In the end, he dots all the “Is” both for himself and for the viewer. But his fans are much smaller than those of the impudent and liberated Solo.
There would be no story without antagonists
Darth Vader, in a long black cloak on his powerful shoulders and a hybrid mask of a samurai helmet and a stormtrooper with a gas mask, is the real axis of Evil (both visually and in the plot). The viewer is even impressed by the fact that he does not work for the Empire, his goal is Obi-Wan, whom Vader wants to eliminate in order to remain the last and only Jedi. And after the greatest confession (“I am your father”) in the backstory, most viewers sincerely wanted the hero Luke to betray the rebels, join the pope and build a powerful Empire. He undoubtedly ranks among the top Star Wars characters.
Darth Maul can compete with Darth in his hostility towards the Jedi - the embodiment of pure aggression and evil, who is simply fixated on killing the Knights of the Galaxy. He's truly creepy, which is why Lucas' decision to eliminate one antagonist at the end of The Phantom Menace was wise and correct.
The antagonists listed above - the Star Wars characters - are inferior in cunning and intellectual power to the well-thought-out villain - Chancellor/Senator/Emperor Palpatine. It was he who started the Clone War, it was he who was responsible for the destruction of the Jedi (“order 66” - the end of the Order), it was he who had been in the political life of the Universe for a long time. Undoubtedly, the Emperor is the most vicious hero in the history of the cult epic.
Robots
Everyone, without exception, loves the “non-living” mechanical heroes of the Saga - R2-D2Ar and C-3P0. Although they are very different, they evoke equal admiration and sympathy. They immediately became the most recognizable “emblem”, a symbol of the film epic “Star Wars”. The names of robot characters will forever remain in the people's memory, because they are unique in the field of design, smart, loyal to their friends and sometimes even sensitive. These two “cars” became a striking example of the unique (especially for that time) ability of the cult saga to revive the generally accepted dry cliches
Girls are not inferior
The Star Wars universe would be incomplete without representatives of the charming half of humanity. The two most prominent ladies of the saga: Padmé Amidala and Princess Leia - worthy representatives of the female gender, they are considered one of the best heroines of the fantasy genre. Imperious, irritable, self-confident and willful, Leia Organa is not just a princess, she is a senator and the indispensable brave leader of the Rebel Alliance. Padme is charming, smart and mentally strong. It is unclear how she could die from a lack of courage that was completely uncharacteristic of a strong nature! These are the different women who are the characters in Star Wars.
The best of the best
From an unidentified planet - Master Yoda - looks rather inconspicuous, but is positioned as a vessel of Jedi wisdom. He is 900 years old, he raised more than one generation of Knights of the Cosmos (some managed to go over to the Dark Side). The debate about the etymology of his name continues to this day. Some fans claim that “Yoda” comes from the Sanskrit term “yuddha,” which means “warrior.” Others authoritatively declare that from the Hebrew word “yodea” - the meaning is unambiguous - “knows”. The debate continues, despite this, the entire Star Wars epic, the characters from the photo (especially the female ones) have become revered relics for millions of film lovers.
Ben Kenobi managed to make Star Wars realistic and convincing. Kenobi is an explosive mixture of Gandalf and Merlin, a teacher-mentor who imparts the highest wisdom to the main character.
Anakin Skywalker is a so-called "questionable" character. Who, throughout history, transforms from a boy into a love-sick teenager, and then into a follower of the Dark Side. How could goodness turn into evil on a universal scale?
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a true hero and fighter. Shredded Darth Maul, reasoned with him (despite his light sabers) and neutralized Anakin.
Clones as an option
Without the stormtroopers, whose aesthetic perfectly balances menace and style, the epic would be bland. The cloned Star Wars character, a stormtrooper, looks extremely futuristic. Their popularity has stood the test of time; websites, communities and social groups are still dedicated to them. networks.
10. Kylo Ren
It's still too early to give final ratings to the Star Wars heroes from the current film cycle, but it is already obvious that Kylo Ren turned out to be a very interesting character. For the first time we see an aspiring Sith on the big screen - a guy in whom the conflicting emotions overwhelming him have not yet burned out. Passions control Kylo, and they throw him from side to side, making the young man uncontrollable and unpredictable. At the same time, he is very strong in the Sith martial arts and, as befits a warrior of the Dark Side, he is prone to deception and manipulation. So Kylo is extremely dangerous, which does not prevent him from being ridiculous and comical at times. Let's see where fate takes him.
9. Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka is unfamiliar to those who only know Star Wars from the live-action films. However, she made her big screen debut in the feature-length animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and she has well earned her place in the pantheon of the series' big heroes. Tano begins her adventures as a naively enthusiastic Padawan in training under Anakin Skywalker, and grows into a sophisticated warrior over the course of five seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Like Anakin, Ahsoka becomes disillusioned with the Jedi Order and eventually leaves it. But she does not go over to the Dark Side and continues the war, even when the Emperor is victorious. Some of Tano's further adventures can be seen in the TV series Star Wars Rebels, where she acts as an adult member of the Resistance and even gets the opportunity to explain herself and fight Darth Vader.
8. R2-D2 and C-3PO
Honestly, the droid duo should have been split up and given each a place on the list. But let’s not separate those who are usually together and who complement each other perfectly into different points. While robot translator C-3PO is talkative, cowardly and comical in every word and gesture, his beeping companion navigator R2-D2 is the bravest and most reliable bucket of bolts in the entire Galaxy. It would seem impossible to make the public fall in love with a creature that most closely resembles an urn with a lid, but George Lucas succeeded.
7. Luke Skywalker
Compared to his colorful surroundings, Luke seems like a bland and boring hero. But such is the karma of the central character - the core around which the plot of the first Wars trilogy revolves. Luke doesn't blow your mind, but there's a lot to admire about him. He goes a long way from a naive farm boy to a Jedi master, and he overcomes all trials with dignity, winning in the finale of the first trilogy not a military, but a moral and psychological victory over evil, which is rarely seen in genre films. Plus, now we not only have the bland Luke from the first trilogy, but also the colorfully quirky older Luke from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It's a controversial addition, but it definitely made Luke more interesting.
6. Chewbacca
Is it possible to become the audience's favorite without uttering a single word that the public can understand? Of course you can. Chewbacca did it very well. George Lucas created the Wookiee, inspired by his dog named Indiana (the same one who gave the name to Indiana Jones). The big dog often rode with his owner in the front seat of the car, and Lucas imagined that he was traveling through space with the furry first mate. The love for the dog helped the director make Chewbacca the most charming alien and a loyal companion for the main characters of “Wars.”
5. Leia Organa
There are a lot of stereotypical characters in adventure fiction, and Princess Leia could very well be one of them - the stereotypical sexy "damsel in distress" who is saved by the main character. However, George Lucas and his team were able to rethink the template and make Leia a fresh and original heroine. Yes, she has sensuality and sex appeal, but they do not define Leia, but turn out to be only two of the many manifestations of this determined and heroic woman. In Leia, the aristocracy of a princess, the courage of a warrior, the eccentricity of a society lady and the leadership of a general intersect. She is ready to become a slave for a while in order to save her friend and loved one - this in itself says a lot. However, in the end Leia turns out to be a bad mother. But sometimes you have to make a choice between your son and the Galaxy.
4. Emperor Palpatine
In the world of Star Wars, the Emperor is the embodiment of absolute evil, and he looks terrible. Such a villain could easily be a caricature, but the Emperor has his own appeal. He is very cunning and cunning, and he masterfully manipulates even those who oppose him. And the way the Emperor enjoys his villainy and plays with Luke like cat and mouse is simply mesmerizing. This scoundrel deserves to have his victory be one of the main events in the history of the Galaxy.
3. Yoda
What does a great Jedi teacher look like? Like a mighty warrior? Like a wise sorcerer? Like a powerful ruler? No, like a funny swamp animal, which at first looks more like a pet than an intelligent creature. In the end, Yoda turns out to be a delightful combination of hidden power, paradoxical wisdom and obvious comedy. He's both funny and deeply respectful - at least until we learn in the prequel trilogy that he fights the Emperor and fails to win. But, as they say, even an old woman can make mistakes, and Yoda does not pretend to be perfect.
2. Darth Vader
One of the most charismatic villains in the history of genre cinema, Darth Vader is etched into the memory of viewers as soon as he first appears on camera. His powerful figure, hidden under black armor, evokes horror, and it seems that there is nothing human in this creature. However, as the story progresses, we learn that Vader is much more complex than he seems at first glance, and that he can not only return to the Light Side, but also again become the Star Wars hero that Anakin Skywalker was in his youth. As the first trilogy of the series comes to an end, we understand that Vader was its hero to the same extent as the formal protagonist of the trilogy, Luke. After all, he also went through a long spiritual path and won victory over evil - not so much on the imperial throne, but in his heart.
1. Han Solo
“The most humane person” - this is not said about Han Solo, but it fully applies to him. Unlike the other main characters of “Wars,” Solo is not a born savior or conqueror of the Galaxy, but an ordinary smuggler who, at the beginning of the series, is just trying to earn extra money. And although he later becomes a Rebel general and a military hero, Solo remains to the end a dubious type with a penchant for scams and a love of adventure. That's why we love him. Khan hesitates, Khan boasts, Khan jokes, Khan makes mistakes, Khan does not always know what to do. At the same time, he is charming, courageous and loyal to his friends. His humanity shines through in his every word and deed, and it contrasts nicely with the epic pathos of Wars. Well, Harrison Ford's performance turns Khan into one of the most attractive characters in all of world science fiction.
