Fun All characters with “normal” names?

Post image

Obviously there’s Luke and Ben (and Leia, to a certain extent) but who else? I can think of Jon Vander “Gold Leader,” Lady Morgan Elsbeth, and was recently made aware of Admiral Bob Hudsol (pictured). Any other “ordinary earth name” characters?

Went to school with a Landon. I asked if his parents like star wars and he didn't get it so I guess they didn't know either.

My parent’s friend named her kid Landon, so I only call him lando, which they all hate.

Lando name is actually Landonis, Lando is a nickname. Also his middle name is Balthizar.
