Star Wars Sound Effects

The much-loved song the Cantina Band performs in A New Hope is undoubtedly a catchy earworm, but Eclectic Method’s latest toe-tapper turns all of the Star Wars movies into a thumping house remix we’d love to dance along with at the club—or, more likely, in our cars on the way to work.

The sound effects used to bring a galaxy far, far away to life lend themselves remarkably well to being remixed. Blooping droids, lightsabers, and blaster shots re-assemble into a track you probably won’t be able to listen to just once. It is quite an achievement in sound design.

This is a safe space. We all love Star Wars here, warts and all. That’s part A. Part B is that just about every character name in the entire franchise is beyond stupid. There’s no two ways about it. As much as we love him, Luke Skywalker has a pretty dumb name. But just making up spacey sounding character names is fine, and even expected nowadays; it’s part of the old-timey Flash Gordon-esque nature of the saga. What we take issue with is when the names are just lazy embellishments of the character’s physical attributes or personality.

Since there are so many characters on screen, and each has a name, species, and planet of origin–shortcuts need to be taken. At least that’s George Lucas’s logic. The squid-looking aliens are called Mon Calamari. I mean, guys. Han Solo is a loner. All the Darths are some kind of modification of a bad thing. General goshdarn Grievous! So that’s where we’re starting with this list, the silliest and needlessly literal names in Star Wars. These 11 are in no particular order, but to start, we have the most recent.

The new Twitter hashtag #StarWarsMoviesIn2028 has people wondering what the sci-fi franchise might look like in a decade. Will Luke get a hip replacement?

Star Wars hit Earth with A New Hope just over 40 years ago, and the franchise is still going strong with the latest sequels The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. But Twitter is starting to wonder just how long the Force can continue to strike back. (Yeah, you try writing a Star Wars story without bad puns.)

The hashtag #StarWarsMoviesIn2028 started trending on Twitter Thursday, with the tweeting masses imagining how the franchise might look 10 years from now. Obviously, there are plenty of jokes about characters being older then, but you might be surprised at just how creative people are getting.

I’ll start with the old jokes, because they’re pretty great:
