Star Wars Name Generator

Star Wars names have a house style that George Lucas set in 1977 and every writer since has followed: short, punchy given names (Han, Luke, Rey, Din, Jyn, Cal) paired with two- or three-syllable surnames that sound vaguely Earth-adjacent but never quite real (Solo, Skywalker, Dameron, Erso, Kestis). Core World aristocrats get softer, longer names (Padmé Amidala, Bail Organa, Mon Mothma); Outer Rim scoundrels get clipped ones (Beckett, Vanth, Mayfeld). Many human names are ordinary words or names with one letter changed, which is why Biggs, Wedge, Hobbie and Dak feel like pilots you could have gone to school with.

Species carry their own conventions. Twi'lek names often run the clan name together with an apostrophe (Nyl'ara, Ahna'shee). Mandalorians use a given name plus a House or clan (Kryze, Vizsla, Wren, Ordo, Beroya). Sith take a Darth title and a single invented word, usually built on a Latin or menacing root (Vader, Sidious, Maul, Plagueis). Droids are designations with a hyphen and a spoken nickname.

This generator mixes canon characters from the films, The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, Andor, Jedi: Fallen Order and Legends with original names that follow the same rules, so your OC will sit naturally next to the characters everyone already knows.
