If there’s one thing about Star Wars movies, it’s that they’re going to have some funny names. Grogu? Okay, bet. Anakin? I see where you’re going with that, but then it took a left turn I wasn’t expecting. Jar Jar Binks? Now you’re just messing with me. 

These names, outlandish as they are, have cemented themselves in culture. Everyone knows that you’re referencing Star Wars when you’re talking about Chewbacca. They know you didn’t just get something stuck in your throat while you tried to pronounce a Canadian province. They’ve become household names, just like «Kleenex» or «Jennifer Lopez.» And for that, we have to thank the fans cough cough, you’re probably sitting right here. Once upon a time, folks didn’t know Mace Windu from «More Windex.» But thanks to the tireless effort of fans like you, who watch the movies, bring your friends, create online forums, wear merch, and most of all create memes, these characters are icons.
