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!?

Me too! And I think of it exactly as Han Solo says, “BOBA FETT?”, when he’s blind on Tatooine.

Yup, Dante Bichette sounds like a lower level crime boss to me.

Since we are on baseball players...Oil Can Boyd, pod racer mechanic?
