When I was a really young kid, I thought it was "Dark Vader". Then I turned 5 and realized the error of my ways.

Here in france they slightly renames some characters, for they were not easy to say in french, so it ended as:

- Dark Vador

- Z-6PO in the OT, then renamed C-3PO in the prequels (what a mess)

- Chicktabba (Chico) in the first film, then regular Chewbacca (Chewie) in all the other movie.

- Yan Solo

Oh, and Avatar is a good movie. Not an original story, at all, but it was somehow needed to make half the planet earth go to the cinema to see a SiFi movie in 3D. JC has taken a story that he knew could work on the masses because he needed some money back. I can understand that. Even people who don't like SiFi (and it's more or less 70% of the audience IMO) go to see this movie! The theaters are full even almost a month after the release. That don't make Avatar a GREAT movie, but Cameron made a movie he likes, people like it also. And now he can do sequels with more complexe stories because he knows people will go.

Really, I can only applause to this.
