I agree...

It is a bit scary though...

Never made that connection... That's a good observation!

As a side-note, "Palpatine" may have come from the word "palpitation", which means "a violent beating of the heart." "Sith" may come from the word "Baobhan sith", which is an ancient-Scottish vampire-like creature.

I liked the pod-race, but it would have been better if they left out the asinine announcers, in my opinion... That's why i enjoyed the MagnoliaFan edit much better...

In response to my previous post above, some Star Wars names do have historical significance. They also mean certain things in other languages. For example, Dooku actually means "poison" in Japanese. Ackbar actually means "great" in Arabic. The name "Durge", as in the bounty hunter in the Clone Wars cartoons, may have been influenced by the name "Durga", the Hindu supreme goddess of warriors.

And Now, For Something Completely Different:

How about making those existing names sound more serious?

Dooku -> Dook (a bit like "duke", don't you agree?)
Greedo -> Gredder
Jar-Jar Binks -> Jarren Binnk
... (add your own here)

Maul... Tiberius?
Grevious... Caligula?
(I'm going for evil, notorious historical figures here... They tend to have meaning for me.)

I have to admit, I did enjoy the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoons... Without the PT they probably would have never been made...

With that said, the prequels didn't really have a guy named Sleazbaggno did they? Please say no. Because if they did this whole discussion has just become pointless.

Yes, sadly there is a character named such in Episode II:

Yep, It's True...

Come on! With names like Elan Sleazebaggano and Nute Gunray, is there any doubt of Lucas' imaginative genius?

(I'm being facetious...

Thanks. I just needed to know my options. I wasn't suggesting that I should go down the piracy route.

Thanks again every one.

Hello!
I’m looking for the OOT on DVD (I have it on VHS), however I do not wish to spend twenty-plus dollars per movie, plus buying the SE… I’ve looked on Ebay.com for the OOT on DVD, but it hasn’t helped either. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Shatner?

Is it just me or doesn't George look too amused from time to time?

I've noticed that too... Everyone else seems to be amused besides him in many of the shots.
