The surprise is when you think Luke Skywalker wasn’t named Gud Falla or something like that.
In the (wildly different) earliest surviving drafts he was named Starkiller. Now imagine this naming convention on all the good guys.

Hey wasn’t Starkiller a dude in one of the games? Interesting how they reused that.
The Force Unleashed. Not to be confused with the planet name for the death star rip off in episode 7. https://www.looper.com/1481594/starkiller-what-happened-galen-marek-clone-star-wars/
Nah, just George LUCAS naming his hero Luke. Luke S. even.
…wtf
Well, SKYWALKERS’s enemies are called STORMtroopers, so there’s that.
I mean, the Empire is basically space nazis, and the nazis had a division of stormtroopers (as did the not-so-evil [imperial German army](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtroopers_(Imperial_Germany) that existed before the nazis). I don’t know if “skywalker” came from “stormtrooper” but I don’t think these names are related.
Hiro Protagonist?
His dads name is “An A Kin Skywalker”.
The names didn’t start that way. In an early draft, the story began with Annikin Starkiller, his dad Kane, and his brother Deak.
Hell, in the first movie Vader wasn’t even going to be Lukes father. He had actually killed Anakin until they rewrote the story for the sequel.
But remember: Darth Sidious and General Grievous.
If I had a nickel for every Star Wars villain with a name that rhymed with Corsage Prom Dress, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s still weird that it’s happened twice.
