And so what? What are you expecting when you go watch a movie? To know everything on every details? Not me.
I like when a movie has a part of mystery. And when you look closer about all the Star Wars stuff, you'll see that we all know names of some characters or vehicles, and those names have never been mentioned in the movies. I like that. Not you?

...and I must say that I love the "Sifo Dyas" name. It sounds very cool to me...
