Name Origins: Star Wars (Fan Fiction)

 As with the Bionicle post before, here is a guide to how I got the names for my Star Wars fanfic characters.

    I won't be including characters whose names are just normal Earth words (with Darth names being an exception, and unless it's a really major character).

Destiny (2011)

Characters

I: The New Republic

    Toah Jarsan, Jedi Knight - name I had created long ago; "Toah" is "Noah" with a T, and Jarsan is from the name generator in KOTOR.

    Viic Argen, Imperial admiral - "Viic" is from a name generator; "Argen" I had made up some time ago.

    Ethril, clone - an alleged unused first name for Palpatine that I had come across on Wookieepedia long ago but can no longer find it.

    Dem Hazon / Kal Nkai, Arcona bounty hunter - "Dem Hazon" is literally just "Hem Dazon" (the Arconan cantina alien in ANH) with the first letter of each name swapped. "Kal Nkai" was a concept name for Hem Dazon himself.

    Jahlan, Weequay bounty hunter -

    Kanaj, Zabrak bounty hunter - took "Janak," a name I came up with years ago, and spelled it backwards. No idea why I didn't just use "Janak."

    Treb "Smarty" Retarc, Siniteen bounty hunter - "Retarc" is "crater" spelled backwards (as "Crater Head" was the nickname for the original Siniteen, Pons Limbic). Not sure where "Treb" is from (might be "Bert" spelled backwards, but I don't know any Bert).
