Nine Star Wars characters with the weirdest names in the galaxy (HITC)

Jar Jar Binks, General Grievous, Count Dooku and even Luke Skywalker can be considered as names too weird to be anything but from the world of science fiction.

Being one of Luke Skywalker’s childhood friends, Biggs Darkligher is the unsung hero of the Star Wars story. General Loathsom sounds like a lovely character, but he is the only character on this list that doesn’t actually feature in any of the live-action movies. Savage Opress may sound like the name of the next big rap superstar but in reality, the name is one that brings fear to countless creatures across the Star Wars universe. In Solo: A Star Wars Story, he is the character sitting next to Lando Calrissian when Han first meets the iconic smuggler. Another Star Wars character known for a brief but iconic appearance, Elan Sleazebaggano is exactly what his name suggests, a sleaze. Therm Scissorpunch was a character that has only briefly featured in the Star Wars cinematic universe.

A New Class: Comparing Seahawks 2022 Draft Picks With Iconic ... (SeahawkMaven)

In honor of the holiday bearing the name of the famous franchise from a far, far away galaxy, reporter Corbin Smith breaks down each of Seattle's nine draft ...

While starring as a receiver, running back, and returner at Lenoir Rhyne, a Division II university in North Carolina, he also excelled in the classroom, graduating with a degree in engineering and physics. If Smith can emerge as a viable rotational pass rusher for the Seahawks, he could be a unsung hero just as Orrelios proved to be in the rebellion against the Empire. There's never been an athlete enter the NFL like Woolen, who at 6-foot-4 ran a 4.26 40-yard dash and jumped 42 inches in the vertical jump at the scouting combine in March. No player of that size had ever posted such ridiculous testing numbers, making it seem as if he had been created in a droid factory. Being compared to a pirate or smuggler may not seem ideal, but in the case of Bryant, the qualities he shares with the notorious Ohnaka give him the best chance to be an impact player in the NFL. Though he's far from an elite athlete - Bryant's 3-cone drill time of 4.33 seconds ranked in the eighth percentile among cornerbacks - he compensates with elite instincts and excelled at playing the role of robber in the secondary for Cincinnati. Opportunistic and efficient jumping routes, he picked off nine passes in four seasons while also producing 26 pass breakups and won the Jim Thorpe Award in 2021. Starring at Rutgers, Melton didn't have a chance to shine as he may have with other programs due underwhelming quarterback play. While the Seahawks will be keeping their fingers crossed he doesn't rip off any arms in the process, he will do whatever needs to be done to spring running backs and protect quarterbacks that he's loyal to as Chewy did for Han Solo and company. However, he was far more valuable to the Buckeyes' defense than his sack numbers suggest, much as Orrelios was a key cog for the Lothal rebels without always getting proper recognition for his efforts. While Ohnaka didn't always get the treasure he sought, he maintained a leadership role for one of those most feared pirate cells in the galaxy and pulled off plenty of heists along the way. He'll lower the shoulder when he has to, he can make tacklers whiff in space, and he has the burst to go the distance on any carry. Like Skywalker, he’s also highly intelligent and exhibits great leadership skills as a former team captain for Minnesota, but the young pass rushing apprentice still has much left to learn from Master Clint Hurtt and needs to complete his training to reach his potential. After finishing near the bottom of the NFL in sacks and pressure rate, the Seahawks need a savior to spark their pass rush and Mafe may be the chosen one. Many fans will be binging on movies and television shows or playing video games to commemorate the occasion.

Luke Skywalker is the son of Anakin/Vader and his late wife Padmé Amidala. At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Luke and his twin sister, Leia, were separated and he was sent to live with his step-uncle Owen on Tatooine. Luke’s journey began in Episode IV after meeting RD-D2, who had a message for Obi-Wan. Mark Hamill played the Jedi in the original trilogy and reprised the role in the sequel trilogy. Anakin Skywalker was a former slave on Tatooine, who grew up to become Darth Vader. Luke and Leia’s father was believed to have been the chosen one. Han Solo was the captain of the Millennium Falcon and portrayed by Harrison Ford in the original and sequel trilogies.

Jackson’s character was responsible for killing Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones. Mace sensed a plot to destroy the Jedi in Episode III. Before he was about to strike Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith, Anakin cut off Mace’s arm. Sheev Palpatine turned out to be the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. It was Palpatine who brought Anakin Skywalker to the dark side and saved him following his fight with Obi-Wan on Mustafar. He also issued Order 66 to have all of the Jedi killed. In the penultimate episode of Season 1, Mando told Kuiil that he wanted to hire him for services to protect The Child. Kuiil agreed to join, with his reprogrammed droid IG-11, though not for payment, but rather to protect The Child from Imperial slavery. Rey ( Daisy Ridley) went from being a scavenger on Jakku to fighting against the First Order in the sequel trilogy. Liam Neeson‘s character was killed by Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. Before dying, Qui-Gon asked Obi-Wan to train Anakin.
