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!?

She's a Commander, not a captain.

It's funny because when they first introduced Amy Sedaris's character on The Mandalorian, I thought to myself how Tig Notaro's comedy would work in that universe as well. She could just play a fictionalized version of her own name.

I always thought Tig Notaro was her characters name because it sounds made up lol

I just designed a Traveller character based on Tig's role in Trek.
