In George Lucas's first draft of the script for Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the Luke Skywalker character was originally named Monticello von Hapsburg after a neighbor's dachshund, but the name was changed following a property dispute.

Strangely also in the first draft it wasn't called 'A New Hope'. It wasn't called that until 1981.

When John Stewart asked him where his favourite character is from George replied "From planet StuJon" terrible! That being said! Awesome name for a dachshund too!
