New "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Character Names Revealed

[Güicho]

Rey would be better if it's short for Reyna.

Reyna Organa Solo.

Sounds great! (short Rey)

[teej]

Pretty cool names.

The important question though, are the characters going to call the new droid Beebee, or Beebeeeight.

[Biff Pow!]

Poe Dameron is very Con Air.

Not bad. They're slightly odd, but more in a 'Han Solo' or 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' kind of way rather than the weird letter-salad names Lucas was using for some of the Jedi in the prequels. To be fair, I also imagine that if a character named 'Han Solo' were announced today, with the character having not existed previously, there'd be some eye-rolling, or if a character named 'Skywalker' were introduced without the existence of Luke in '77, it'd sound off.

Topps still makes all sorts of trading cards. It's very likely they will have real trading cards for the movie. Less likely is that they will come with gum.

Question: Has it officially been announced that the cloaked character with the crossbar lightsaber is Sith or does EVERYONE just assume that? After all, Luke wore a black hooded cloak in ROTJ. Does the RED lightsaber automatically make Kylo Ren (and Stimpy?) Sith???

I heard lucas would hold the characters up to his very young child whose uttering would be the name for said character.

[DebkoX]

Could be more than one Sith.

Lucas adapted Jett's "D'gnnn" (trucks) into "Gungan." Which is kind of sad because Gunjan is an Indian name meaning "buzzing of a bee," which would help to describe the efficiency of the race as a whole and why Jar Jar didn't fit in. Sometimes it's just better not to be honest.

[Crimson Knight]

Could be more than one Sith.

Yeah, sure, usually is.

Count Dooku, Asaki Ventress, Darth Maul, Savage Opress, Darth Sidious, all at the same time, at times.

Or, Maul and Sidious, Tyrannus/Dooku and Sidious, Vader and Sidious.

Might be same here, or Hordes of Sith, Academy, trio. Never know if Rule of Two is still in effect in here.

The old EU already used the name for Darth Vader's apprentice. That isn't canon any more but it was a popular game and could cause brand confusion.

[Mgoldman14]

Whats the EU?

[Floyd Fenris]

Whats the EU?

EU=Expanded Universe=All the books and comics stories that are now no longer canon.

Traditionally the darkside practitioners use artificial crystals which result in a red blade while the Jedi mined some special cave where the crystals resulted in blue or green blades and occasionally Mace Windu's purple blade.

Doesn't have to be Sith in particular but usually a bad guy
