  • The “ball droid” is BB-8
  • Oscar Isaac is Poe Dameron
  • The Sith is Kylo Ren
  • Daisy Ridley is Rey
  • John Boyega is Finn

 In every measurable category, those names are light years ahead of Plagueis, Sidious, Maul, Dooku, Grevous, and Mace.  Lucas was a complete idiot with his moronic character names.  

Absolutely loving the names, as well as the total awesomeness that is the trading card homage.  Fantastic stuff.

 Any name is better than Dooku.

George pronounces it Doku, which I would have been okay with.

Those names aren't entirely terrible but they are strange. Hopefully there are some other more common names for us to identify with.

An issue I have with some PT era character names is that they are difficult to pronounce, Which shouldn't really be a [common] thing when most people are speaking the same language.

in my everyday life I run into a lot of people with my name - there are three of us in the same office. There cannot be only one Luke in the galaxy.
