LEGO Star Wars Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

What happens when one of the most popular lines of construction toys makes a series of models and figures based on cinema's most enduring franchise? You get the LEGO Star Wars line of construction sets, video games, and movies. The LEGO Star Wars line features many of our favorite Star Wars characters (a la Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and more) as well as a number of lesser known characters (such as Greedo, Max Rebo, and Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes). And as LEGO continues to make sets built on the new Star Wars movies and games, the list of beloved Star Wars characters who have been "legoized" will continue to grow.

Indiana

Despite what it looks like, we didn't get our Lucasfilm productions mixed up; when it comes to our LEGO Star Wars Spotlight dog, we're not talking about Indiana Jones (the daring archaeologist also played by Harrison Ford,) we're talking about George Lucas' own beloved Alaskan Malamute which he named Indiana. This big, beautiful dog was said to have been an absolute darling of a dog; back when George Lucas was writing the first few drafts of what would eventually become the screenplay for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Indiana was said to have sat beside her master during the arduous process in order to comfort Lucas when the writing process got a bit too stressful.

Indiana and Lucas were close - so close in fact that George Lucas has gone on record citing Indiana as being the primary source of inspiration behind Chewbacca's creation. Indiana is more directly referred to in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where the previously mentioned archaeologist extraordinaire claims that he took his nickname "Indiana" from his family's dog with whom he had a close relationship. This is clearly a nod to Indiana, with Indiana Jones' close bond with his dog serving as a quick yet heartwarming nod to George Lucas' bond with his own Alaskan Malamute.

Aside from Indiana, the most prominent canine character related to the Star Wars universe is easily Chewbacca. As of this writing, Chewbacca (or Chewie as he's often called by others) has had major roles in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story as well as having a minor role in Stars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

For all intents and purposes, Chewbacca is gigantic, bipedal dog; he's incredibly loyal, is not much of a talker, and is covered from head to toe in a luscious coat of fur. Chewbacca was almost never seen apart from his good friend Han Solo and has become just as instantly recognizable as any of the other characters from the series in his own right; Chewbacca's signature vocalization has become just as, if not more, iconic as the Predator's infamous "clicking" sound or Jason Voorhees' notorious whisper sound. To this day, Star Wars fans continue to try and discern which real-world dog breed best resembles Chewie.

LEGO Star Wars Inspired Dog Name Considerations

If you're already a massive Star Wars fan then you probably won't need much convincing here; as mentioned earlier, the LEGO Star Wars line has created small plastic versions of just about every Star Wars character that's ever appeared on the screen. Why should give your dog a LEGO Star Wars inspired name? Because the LEGO Star Wars line has done a pretty great job of representing the beloved and well known characters of the Star Wars universe to a T. The LEGO Star Wars games in particular do a great job of focusing on a character's most easily identifiable trait and playing it up for laughs; LEGO Darth Vader/ Anakin Skywalker is often depicted as an impatient, boorish individual who won't hesitate to use force in order to get what he wants. At the same time, he commands the respect of every Storm Trooper under him and has an unparalleled mastery of the Dark Side of the Force.

Since the LEGO Star Wars line doesn't alter the names of the characters they adapt in any way, shape, or form we suggest that you consider which Star Wars character has the most physical and personality traits that match up with your dog and name your pet after them.
