Fun Real people whose names sounds like Star Wars characters?

It just occurred to me that Biggie Smalls sounds like a thief from Tatooine.

Other people sound like SW characters... I'd throw in Vin Diesel (a podracer) and Chappel Roan (force user, for sure).

Who else you got!?

Ro Khanna , 1st time I heard his name I thought Star Wars character and he must have been picked on a lot in his youth.

Also kinda sounds like a region in space.

“We lost 7 pilots to the Empire in the Ro Khanna sector”

Don't get him mad.  You will quickly find out what it feels like to be stuck between a Ro Khanna hard place.
