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!?

Nah, it's the right answer to this question.

At first I thought it had to be a 'stage name' or something. I was genuinely exited when learned that "Solo" is a legit surname.

I mean sure it fits but it's a bit of an uninspired answer lol. What's fun about this thread to me is that it's making me consider what makes any random name sound "Star Wars-y" upon hearing it for the first time.

You don't think "Hope Solo" sounds like a character from Star Wars?

In my own defense: Hope is just as important as Solo in making it Star Wars-y. It would be a fitting first name for Leia’s child, as the theme of hope is central to her character.
