Mine is basically a bad and unfunny joke based on the line 'Obi-Wan was your Father' which was originally delivered by Dave Prowse as Darth Vader on the set of ESB to keep the plot twist a secret (The line was later dubbed with 'I am your Father' by James Earl Jones). When I was signing up I had no idea I would end up being such an active member of the OT.com community so I didn't give much thought to my name - if I had it would be something cooler and/or easier to type (maybe just 'Yoda')


I thought the line was "Obi-Wan killed your father", but either way, your screen-name still makes sense.

I am called The Red Baron mostly because my surname is Redsell. Some of my friends call me 'Baron' from time to time, and 'Red Baron' has become my profile name in most videogames. I believe Halo was the first game I used it in, and it has stuck ever since. Seeing as 'Red_Baron' or 'redbaron' is always taken (and send me to the depths before I ever put a number in my username), I make a b-line for 'theredbaron' in every forum I sign up for. It's a pity the 'Red_Baron' name is nearly always wasted on some inactive schmo that never posts in any given forum.
