What is the weirdest name in Star Wars?

There are some truly weird names among Star Wars characters.

But in a hotly contested field, our prize for the weirdest goes to Elan Sleazebaggano.

That’s not a name we’d want to give to anyone we loved!

What is the longest Star Wars name?

There are so many characters that it’s hard to know for sure.

But Padmé Naberrie Amidala Skywalker has to be up there.

And if you include Star Wars books, Hekis Durumm Perdo Kolokk Baldikarr Thun probably wins the prize.

How do you come up with a Star Wars name?

There are various ideas for how to do this.

One is to take the first three letters of your surname, then add the first two letters of your first name.

The result is the first part of your Star Wars name.

The first three letters of your mother’s maiden name form the second part.

So if your surname is Skywalker, your first name is Luke, and your mother’s maiden name was Amidala, your Star Wars name would be:
Skylu Ami.

Okay, why does that sound so cute?
