- In the (wildly different) earliest surviving drafts he was named Starkiller. Now imagine this naming convention on all the good guys.

- 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.

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.
