Star Wars Nomenclature

I do get out more often!  I went and saw Phantom Menace this weekend.  Did
anybody notice that the young Greebo alien did not use ejectives, unlike
the adult alien in Star Wars IV.  Unless they edited that as well in the
new release of the original films!

I come from somewhere named after a throat lozenge!  It was either that or
the better-sounding but FOUL-tasting laxative I took for my colonoscopy!

A lot of interesting names, some of them were more challenging than
anything pronounced in most SciFi movies I have seen.

        Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restored;
        Light dies before thy uncreating word:
        Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall;
        And Universal Darkness buries All.
