Quiz: 'Star Wars' name, ballplayer, or Thai food?
Wookiees and Ewoks enjoy word games as a way to pass time while awaiting the space-elevator.
(Credit: Daniel Terdiman/CNET News.com)Star Wars just turned 30, and with it, a whole slew of silly names just turned 30, too.
Greedo? Oola? Pablo-Jill? Isn't anyone in space just named Steve?
There are enough silly names in the Star Wars universe to inspire an equally silly game, so I've gone ahead and done that.
Of the words below, all you have to do is figure out whether each one is a Star Wars character, a baseball player from the days of yore, or a Thai food dish. You'll be amazed at how hard it can be.
