This is mostly for my Brazilian buddy Wampa, the biggest Star Wars geek I know. But for anyone else that might be as well, go read this post written on Careful With That Blog, Eugene:Awful Star Wars Character: Jek Porkins
This is the kind of passionate discussion of minutiae that the world needs more of.
11 people have chosen wisely: on "For all you Star Wars geeks out there..."
But Porkins is such a lovable slob!
That was a really long anti-fat post. I have filed the necessary paperwork to officially take offense.
Well, his name was Porkins, not Slim. Wait a minute. Porkins, Slim Pickens, Slim Porkins. Man, that's weird.
I always thought that it was weird how people in the Star Wars universe seem to match their name.
Porkins - Fat Bastard
Ben Quadinaros - Just happened to have 4 engines on his podracer.
Walrus Man - Seriously? No name?
Hammerhead - What if he wanted to be called Bob?
Snaggle Tooth - I feel bad for Jewel...
Anyways, great post, a bit long, but very true.
"I always thought that it was weird how people in the Star Wars universe seem to match their name."
Weird, or just unimaginative and simple "for the children?"
Also: Han Solo - kind of a loner.
Hilarious! I agree that this is what blogs were made for.
"I always thought that it was weird how people in the Star Wars universe seem to match their name."
This also applies to Admiral Ackbar -- good ol' fish face... "It's a trap!"
The Force is strong with this link Fletch.

Actually, those were movie prop names. The EU took care of real names for those:
Walrus Man - Ponda Baba, an Aqualish
Hammerhead - Mamaw Nadow, an Ithorian
Snaggle Tooth - Takeel, a Snivvian
Wampa the Geek will be here all day, and don' forget to tip your waitress.
MTFBWY.
Hey Fletch, thanks for the plug.
Wow Wampaone! I thought I was a Star Wars nerd...I bow to your mastery of the Star Wars universe.
Yeah...you don't mess with Wampa. He's the best, Jerry - the best!
He not only knows what midichlorians are, he knows every element they are make of and their place on the periodic table.
He can not only name all the ridiculous planets in the "Expanded Universe," he can plot them on a spatial map with his eyes closed.
He can not only name every Rebel pilot to have ever lived, he knows their kids names and their kids' pets' names.
Scary, scary stuff.
