For every French and Italian reader here: WHY did they re-named the characters in Star Wars? Did they sound like curse words?

Ricarleite: For the French version, I don't see any other reason than lack of foresight: no word sounds remotely near anything French, and like I said these errors do not reappear in ESB and ROTJ (I haven't seen the PT in French yet). They probably went for sounds that "fitted" for better lip-synch or something. Still funny, though!
