4. Characters Should Have Meaningful Names That Aren't Dumb
Names are important in Star Wars. Sometimes the meaning of names are subtle and cool, while others seem a bit lazy. The villain's name needed to portray darkness and death. Dernth maybe? No wait, Darth! Nailed it. Top it off with the Dutch word for Father and you've got Darth Vader. Good job George. Next we've got our handsome loner. You can't just call him Some Loner... can you? No wait, Han Solo. There it is. The bounty hunter that's after Han Solo is really greedy. Tacos are delicious, so just change the Y at the end of greedy to an O and you've got Greedo. Got another Darth. Can't name him Vader too. How about Insidious. Wait, that's already a word. Lose that first syllable and you've got a name. This general is very grievous. Can't name him Grievous, that's also already a word. Screw it. General Grievous it is. I don't know what the thought process behind Dooku was but it makes me think of poo. As a general rule you shouldn't give characters names that remind the audience of poo.
