1. How to come up with a name for Star Wars?
Have you seen how people come up with fancy names for themselves? But perhaps you don't know how?
Using the formula below, you can easily come up with the name "Star Wars".
There are several such formulas, here is one of them:
- Take the first 3 letters of your name.
- Add the last 2 letters of your last name.
It turns out your "Star Wars" name. After:
- Take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name.
- Add the first 3 letters of the city where you were born.
This is your "Star Wars" surname.
Example: Let's say your name is Vladimir Putin. Mother's maiden name is Turina (I don't know the name of Putin's mother). You were born in St. Petersburg. So, the name is Vlain, the surname is Tusan. So, your name is Vlain Tusan. By the way, my name is Makov Sovor.
Another variation of the George Lucas formula to find out your name:
- Take the first 3 letters of your last name.
- Add the first 2 letters of your name.
Is that your name. The surname is determined in the same way as in the previous case. Then, if your name is Vladimir Putin, then your name is Star Wars - Putvl Tusan. And then my name is Basma Sovor.
To change the name a little more, add "starwarsnews":
Darth Vlain Tusan
Grand Moff Vline Tusan
Obi-Wan Vlain Tusan (at least "Obi-Wan" is a noble title)
2. Other names in Star Wars.
The names of Star Wars characters are by no means random. There is an explanation why Lucas came up with these names. Here's what he says: "It's just, I came up with the names phonetically. I wanted part of the character to live in his name. The names had to sound unusual, but not trivial, like sci-fi "Zenon" and "Zorba."
Darth Vader was taken from the Danish language and can roughly be translated as "Dark Father".
Anakin Skywalker's name was taken from the name of a race of giants in the Origins book (Anakin), and Skywalker - to show his character - Skywalker means "skywalker" in English.
Han Solo. Han is a derivative of John, a very simple name. Solo means that a person adheres to the philosophy of loneliness.
Chewbacca. Some people like to chew tobacco. Previously, names were given according to occupation. How do we know if Chuuya's ancestors liked to chew tobacco?
3. Yoda's unique sentence structure.
Yoda, the great Jedi sage, builds his sentences in a unique way when he speaks. Here are some comments on his manner of speaking:
"If Yoda is so powerful in the Force, why can't he build sentences correctly?"
"When you're 900 years old and look just as good, you won't." - Yoda
Personally, I like the way he speaks :).
Star Wars is a cult epic fantasy saga that includes 6 films (the seventh is currently being filmed), as well as animated series, cartoons, television films, books, comics, video games - all permeated with a single storyline and created in a single fantasy universe " Star Wars, conceived and realized by American director George Lucas in the early 1970s and later expanded. The saga, and especially the first movies, had a huge impact on modern Western culture, became one of the masterpieces of science fiction cinema, and, according to various polls, was even recognized as the best in the history of cinema.
First movie released May 25, 1977 year called Star Wars. The film was a huge box office success, effectively saving 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy. When doubts about the payback of the project disappeared, the first film received the subtitle "A New Hope", and soon two sequels appeared after it - in 1980 and 1983.
In 1997, 20 years after the release of the first film, the original trilogy was remastered with computer-generated special effects and re-released. The films grossed $256.5 million, $124.2 million and $88.7 million respectively in re-release.
In 1999 The movie Star Wars was released. Episode I: The Phantom Menace ", which marked the beginning of a new trilogy - the prehistory of the original.
According to George Lucas, the idea for the film was influenced by Joseph Campbell's research on comparative mythology (The Hero with a Thousand Faces, etc.).
The beginning of the history of Star Wars is considered to be 1976. It was then that the novelization book of the same name by A. D. Foster and George Lucas appeared, telling about the events of Episode IV: A New Hope. The producers at 20th Century Fox feared the film would fail at the box office, and decided to release the book earlier to gauge its success. In 1977 at the Congress of the World Science Fiction Society, George Lucas received a special Hugo Award for this novel.
10. Kylo Ren
It is still too early to give final marks to the Star Wars heroes from the current film cycle, but it is already clear that Kylo Ren has turned out to be a very interesting character. For the first time we see on the big screen an aspiring Sith - a guy who has not yet burned out the conflicting emotions that overwhelm him. Passions control Kylo, and they throw him from side to side, making the young man uncontrollable and unpredictable. At the same time, he is very strong in Sith martial arts and, as befits a warrior of the Dark Side, is prone to deception and manipulation. So Kylo is extremely dangerous, which does not prevent him from being ridiculous and comical at times. Let's see where fate takes him.
9 Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka is unfamiliar to those who know Star Wars only from feature films. However, she made her big-screen debut in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars feature-length cartoon, and she well deserves a place in the pantheon of "big" heroes of the series. Tano begins her adventures as a naive, enthusiastic Padawan in training with Anakin Skywalker, and she grows into a seasoned warrior over the course of five seasons of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. Like Anakin, Ahsoka becomes disillusioned with the Jedi order and eventually leaves it. But she does not turn to the Dark Side and continues the war even when the Emperor is victorious. Some of Tano's further adventures can be seen in Star Wars Rebels, where she acts as an adult member of the Resistance and even gets the chance to explain herself and fight Darth Vader.
8. R2-D2 and C-3PO
To be honest, the droid duo should have been split up and given each a spot on the list. But let's not separate those who are usually together and who complement each other perfectly. While C-3PO's interpreter robot is chatty, cowardly and comical in every word and gesture, its beeping companion navigator R2-D2 is the bravest and most reliable bucket of bolts in the galaxy. It would seem impossible to make the audience fall in love with a creature that most of all resembles an urn with a lid, but George Lucas succeeded.
7. Luke Skywalker
Against the backdrop of his colorful surroundings, Luke seems to be a bland and boring hero. But such is the karma of the central character – the pivot around which the plot of the first Wars trilogy revolves. Luke doesn't knock you off your feet, but there's a lot to admire about him. He goes a long way from a naive farm boy to a Jedi Master, and he overcomes all trials with dignity, gaining not a combat, but a moral and psychological victory over evil in the finale of the first trilogy, which is rarely seen in genre films. In addition, now we have not only the bland Luke from the first trilogy, but also the colorful and quirky old Luke from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. This is a controversial addition, but it definitely made Luke more interesting.
6 Chewbacca
Is it possible to become a favorite of the audience without uttering a single word understandable to the public? Of course you can. Chewbacca did it really well. George Lucas came up with the Wookiee, inspired by his dog named Indiana (the one who gave the name to Indiana Jones). The burly dog often rode with his owner in the front seat of the car, and Lucas imagined that he was plowing through space with the furry first mate. Love for the dog helped the director to make Chewbacca the most charming alien and faithful companion for the main characters of "Wars".
5. Leia Organa
There are many stereotypes in fantasy fiction, and Princess Leia could very well be one of them - a stereotyped sexy "damsel in distress" who is rescued by the protagonist. However, George Lucas and his team were able to rethink the template and make Leia a fresh and original heroine. Yes, there is sensuality and sex appeal in her, but they do not define Leia, but turn out to be only two of the many manifestations of this determined and heroic woman. In Leia, the aristocracy of a princess, the courage of a warrior, the eccentricity of a secular lady and the leadership of a general intersect. She is ready to become a slave for a while in order to save her friend and loved one - this in itself says a lot. True, in the end, Leia turns out to be a bad mother. But sometimes you have to make a choice between your son and the Galaxy.
4. Emperor Palpatine
In the world of Star Wars, the Emperor is the epitome of absolute evil, and he looks terrible. Such a villain could easily be a caricature, but the Emperor has its own charm. He is very cunning and cunning, and he is a master at manipulating even those who oppose him. And the way the Emperor enjoys his villainy and plays with Luke like a cat with a mouse is simply mesmerizing. This scoundrel deserves to be one of the main events in the history of the Galaxy.
3. Yoda
What does a great Jedi Master look like? How mighty warrior? Like a wise wizard? How domineering ruler? No, like a funny swamp animal, which at first looks more like a pet than a rational creature. In the end, Yoda turns out to be a delightful combination of latent power, paradoxical wisdom and sheer comedy. He is both funny and deeply respected - at least until we learn from the prequel trilogy that he fights the Emperor and fails to win. But, as they say, there is a hole in the old woman, and Yoda does not pretend to be perfect.
2. Darth Vader
One of the most charismatic villains in the history of genre cinema, Darth Vader is burned into the memory of the audience as soon as he first appears on the screen. His powerful figure, hidden under black armor, evokes horror, and it seems that there is nothing human in this creature. However, as the story progresses, we learn that Vader is much more difficult than it seems at first glance, and that he can not only return to the Light Side, but also become the Star Wars hero that Anakin Skywalker was in his youth. When the first trilogy of the cycle comes to an end, we understand that Vader was its hero to the same extent as the formal protagonist of the trilogy, Luke. After all, he, too, had come a long spiritual path and won victory over evil - not so much on the imperial throne, but in his heart.
1. Han Solo
"The most humane person" - this is not said about Han Solo, but it fully applies to him. Unlike the other protagonists of The Wars, Solo is not a born savior or conqueror of the galaxy, but an ordinary smuggler who, at the beginning of the cycle, is just trying to earn extra money. And although he later becomes a Rebel general and military hero, Solo remains a dubious type with a penchant for scams and a love of adventure to the end. For this we love him. Khan hesitates, Khan boasts, Khan jokes, Khan makes mistakes, Khan does not always know what to do. At the same time, he is charming, courageous and loyal to friends. His humanity is visible in his every word and deed, and it contrasts pleasantly with the epic pathos of "Wars". Well, the game of Harrison Ford turns Khan into one of the most attractive characters in all of world science fiction.
