Lucasfilm registers new (Episode II?) domain names!
Posted By Roderick on September 3, 2000
This morning T'bone posted a list of new domain names that have been registered by Lucasfilm. These names could very well be Episode II character names! Head over to T'bone's Star Wars Universe for the exciting report!
I (Roderick) wrote some first comments on the new domain names [highlight to read:] - ASKAAK.COM - There's also a new domain name "SENATORASKAAK". Senator Askaak (or Aska Ak) should be an important fellow in Episode II to merit his own domain name like this! :)
- BERUWHITESUN.ORG - Whitesun? Could this be Beru's family name? Whitesun is a name that already appears in the first Star Wars drafts (you can find these drafts in our multimedia section).
- BERULARS.COM - Beru Lars - after she marries Owen.. I wonder if we'll see their marriage in Episode II or III.
- CLIEGGLARS.NET - Cliegg Lars. Very interesting. Could this be another member of the Lars family? Lars' brother perhaps? His father? (after all, Owen is still young in Episode II). Cliegg and Deak were Starkiller's sons in the first draft... interesting!
- DARKJEDI.COM - Dark Jedi? Cool!
- ELAINSLEAZEBAGGANO.COM - Elain Sleaze Bag Gano? What a name! Related to Gasgano perhaps?
- HOROXRYYDER.COM - this is not a new name. It's senator Horox Ryyder, a character from TPM
- ISHITIB.COM - not a new name either: Ishi Tib was one of Jabba the Hutt's subordinates.
- KIADIMUNDI.COM - this is just Ki Adi Mundi..
- KITFISTO.ORG and .NET - Kit Fisto? Sounds new to me..
- KYBERDART.COM - Kyber Dart? Kyber?? This is VERY exciting. Could this be an indication that the idea of the Kyber Chrystal from the first drafts of Star Wars has somehow been integrated in Episode II? The Kyber Chrystal in the first Star Wars drafts is a small diamond-like object that intensifies either side of the force. The Chrystal was also appearing in "Splinter Of the Mind's Eye"
- LAMASU.NET - Sounds like the name of a city or a planet. Lamasu appears to be the name of a town in Tibet. It's mentioned on this website, and also here. However, according to T'bone, a Lamasu is an Assyrian 'guardian figure'... interesting!
- MADAMEJOCASTANU.COM - Madame Jocasta Nu?. Jocasta is a the name of Oedipus' mother in Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex". We know how much Lucas likes to integrate classic mythology in Star Wars, so there might be some clues there!!
- MASAMEDDA.COM - Mas Amedda is actually from TPM (he's the blue alien next to Chancellor Valorum in the Galactic Senate).
- PADMEAMIDALA.COM and .ORG - Padme Amidala. It looks like the name "Padme" is here to stay..
- SAESEETIN.COM Sae See Tin - a TPM name as well. Sae See Tiin is a member of the Jedi Council (thanks to Kevin Balla for the info). The weird thing is: Sae See Tiin is spelled with two i's on the official website. Did Lucasfilm make a mistake?
- SENATORASKAAK.COM - Senator Askaak (or Aska-Ak?) - could be one of the Senators we'll see in Episode II.
- SENATORLUMINARAUNDULI.COM Senator Luminara Unduli - Another Episode II senator? I like the sound of that name :)
- SHAAKTI.COM, .ORG AND .NET - Shaakti is the name of a Goddess in Indian Religion, and possibly an Episode II character from now on as well.
- TAUNWE.NET and .ORG Taun We? Or just Taunwe? Could be a name or a city or even a planet...
If you find any other new domain names or if you have any comments on the names already found, please send them in! In the mean time, we'll ask our sources if they can tell us anything about these characters...
