The Villanous League of Silly Names

By ficklegreendice, in X-Wing

Hey guys,

so the most recent FFg spoiler revealed us the intimidating, but amusingly named Morlao Eval which has cemented my belief that S&V pilots turned to a life of crime because their parents did not love them

Moralo Eval joins the illustrious ranks of Cobraaaaaaaa~ Talonbane, Dace Bonearm, Torkil Mux, and "Graz the Hunter" as ace pilots that fill the galaxy with more guffawing than fear

my question to you EU buffs out there is "are there yet sillier pilots out there, awaiting Wave 8 and beyond?"

the possibilities are limitless, including

Nasty Mcnotnice

Darth Icky (actual suggestion by George Lucas regarding the Force Unleashed Starkiller's sith title; probably spiteful)

Frank Dastard

Anita Kil

Coldsteel the Hedgehog

and Ettu Brutus

A true force of EVIL!

Every Villain Is Lemons

Baaa

Cheers

All these pilots started out with names like "Leslie Butterbottom". They got picked on at school a lot, got in fights, and eventually that led to a life of crime. Since Nobody uses their real name in criminal circles anyway, they were free to make up a new name, probably lamely passing it off as a nickname that their old gang gave them "because they were so awesome/brutal/villainous".

apparently, the rebellion/imperial ace with a dubious record, Fickle Greendice, would be "Ebequnr Starsmuggler" if he took up a life of crime

Using my real name I got "Daphber Syrma - A Padawan Learner from Hok"

And using Baaa (twice) I got "Lyosat Clusterblast - A Troublemaker from Callos"

so do you just go first name + last name or is the descriptive title mandatory too? :P

No point in having a dodgy pseudonym without a description. Methinks it gives you a little backstory.

Well, there's Cad Bane and Talon Karrde, who may have some matters to discuss with Mr. Cobra.

Speaking of bad names, whenever I hear Poe Dameron, all I can see is:

There are a lot of silly names in Star Wars. Many are found in the Clone Wars or at least the prequels. But sometimes silly works, like for Cad Bane.

Other names include:

Bosso Weex - the leader of Zygerian spice runner whose team got captured (I guess he was a weak boss)

Jasper McKnives - a sword-wielding gladiator defeated by Asajj Ventress

Nim Mindbend - a Siniteen criminal (Siniteens have large heads that look like brains)

Lama Su - a Kaminoan named after a llama? Yeah that's subtle.

Savage Oppress -

Darth Maul's brother

Nute Gunray - He looks like a newt

But don't forget there are names we accept that are pretty hokey too. Han Solo? Really? Solo? But we all love it and think nothing of it, probably because most of us heard it when we were younger.

EDIT: And it looks like my name is Heat Lightningleap - a prince from Foerost. Or with my screen name, Elmuthalleth Esthite - a stormtrooper from the Meridian sector.

Talon Karrde's ship is also named the Wild Karrde :)

I'd stab my best friend for an Ettu Brutus

Han Solo.

I'm sure George intended that to be his real name. Sure.

The weird thing is he's never alone, he's got a 7 foot walking carpet shadowing his every move!

I think "Savage Oppress" is the crowning achievement so far :P

Savage Oppress

Right, I forgot about him! He might be the reigning champion for ridiculous Star Wars names.

Jasper McKnives

Oh, come on.

Fat Han.

Han Solo.

He's named Solo ironically. Probably drinks PBR too.

Cypher Raige.

Sheev Palpatine is forever canon. I both love and hate that.

On a more serious note: I am just glad star wars names are generally pronouncable. So many scifi franchises have names filed with x's and z's to the point that word of god is the only way to figure them out.

The Kihraxz Fighter would like a word with you as would the Scum Z-95 pilots.

Callista Flockhart.

No, wait.

Callista Flockhart.

No, wait.

Ballista Flockhard. new ship. just a space ballista. must be flown in swarms.
