I just realized that the Star Wars sequels begin and end with one of the leads randomly changing their name to something somebody else gives them

Also, that (and this could have been nifty but of course got ruined) that the two original main leads both lacked proper names

Solo also made a big deal out of Han coming up with the nickname "Chewie"

Also it seems pretty obvious General Grievous wasn't actually born with the name Grievous but I guess the book that established what his birth name was is no longer canon

Absent canon evidence I am going to assume he was born with both the name and the rank

So before he enlisted, he was General Grievous, and then he was like Private General Grievous and Major General Grievous and then he was General General Grevious. Kay.

I was gonna make the reference and then I didn't I've never actually read CATCH-22, but some of the details have become memes, like Major Major Major.

One of my favorite parts of that book is that the elder Mr. Major considered such names as "Drum Major" or "C Sharp Major" for his son, but went balls to the wall and named him Major Major Major.

Yeah and a computer algorithm put his name up for promotion to be an actual major despite his total lack of qualifications because that's just how the universe works
