Page 2 of the papers features people with famous celebrity names. You would expect to find a Star Wars reference in the article... and yes, they have included Luke & Leia, the fraternal twins of... our forum member, vector_prime :)

Actually they were at STCC and we(sandtroopers) took a couple of photos with them. The dad was so proud when he told us his kids, who were twins were named Luke and Leia! :)
They also played Droid Hunt and with us and won a Vader lightsaber... The one in the article photo might be the one. lol

Let me see if I can find the pics...not sure if I have a copy.

SW Namesakes

Hmmm..........yesterday's article about naming children after celebrities inspired me. Of course if I were to have any children, I would give them SW character namesakes like vector_prime's.

For instance :lol: :-

- the ugly greedy one is Greedo
- the lazy fat slob is Jabba
- the smart alec is Yoda
- the one who manipulates truth is Ben Kenobi
- the good-looking one is named Han Solo
And so on and so forth..........

Maybe the one who can't say "I" in a sentence, and instead replaces it with a "mesa". :D
