Is there a more popular, more enduring, more famous movie series than Star Wars? Probably not. You may have grown up with the trilogy playing in the background at all times (was that just me?), or maybe your kids are now as hooked as we were as kids – but the minute you hear the theme tune, it just takes you right back to your childhood – what a classic. Am I right?
Turns out it’s not just the music people love, but some of the names used in the movies, and as the latest chapter in the Star Wars series launches this week, we thought we’d enlighten you with some Star Wars-inspired baby names – don’t worry, there’s not a R2-R2 or Chewbaca in sight. Promise. These are all the realistic names we could muster up for you – maybe there’s a little Leia in the making out there?
