Darth Who?

Name the Newest Sith Lord!

 

What's in a name? A great deal, indeed, for those who choose to take that final, fateful step and join the dark side! Each and every Dark Lord of the Sith must leave behind their old identity-and old name-in order to assume a moniker befitting their fearsome new status. As it was for Darth Bane, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, and a long line of dark disciples before them...so it is now, for Jacen Solo. But what name shall he take to seal his allegiance to the dark side? How shall he be hailed by those who honor, respect, and fear him? Now, YOU have a chance to be part of Star Wars history. Because this time, this privilege of naming the newest Sith Lord...is YOURS.

 

One Grand Prize winner will have his or her Sith name featured as the official character name in Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice by Karen Traviss. The Grand Prize winner will be recognized on the acknowledgement page of the aforementioned book. Visit http://www.darthwho.com for details.

 

Warning:Have to be 18 or older and a boring member of http://www.starwars.com(edit by d3: and a resident of the US)

I'm 17, so I can't participate too...you're not alone, Pottsie :xp:

 

I would have called him Darth Brachus. Just because it sounds cool, imo...

You can't join anyways, it's only residents of the USA...WHICH SUCKS!!!

 

Where'd you hear that? I'm not a resident of the USA and I joined (without lying in the registration form, or anything like that, all perfectly legit) and I, as I said already, put in Darth Krayt just to see if they might decide to connect the books with the comics.

You didn't put that in quotes as

Contest is open to all legal residents of the United States who are over the age of eighteen as of October 3, 2006
is direct from the starwars.com website.

 

I wonder why LucasCo. is limiting the contest to residents of the U.S.? Perhaps there is some legal reason? *cough*Darth333*cough* The "Grand Prize" if your name is chosen is having your name credited in the book.

5. PRIZE

One Grand Prize Winner will have his or her Sith name featured as the official character name in Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice by Karen Traviss. The Grand Prize Winner will be recognized on the acknowledgement page of the aforementioned book as well. Prize is not transferable and cannot be assigned. No substitutions allowed.

So it's not like the winner has to be present to accept the prize. It just seems wrong that the rest of the world's Star Wars fans don't even have a chance to participate. :disaprove

Probably have to be 18 to be able to sign some contract with LA giving permission to use your name in the book since it'll be out in the public. I have to sign permissions for my kids to have their pictures used on any school publications/websites.

My uneducated, non-legal thought about the US thing is that they didn't want to have to mess with international law in that contract allowing you to have your name printed in a book that's written and published in the US. And when the books are published in other countries, they won't have to worry about how the international laws regarding the winner's name are affected in other countries, since they already know about the US stuff. For instance, say the winner was British. Now say the book is an American product and released in Japan. They might have to work with another British lawyer to get some kind of different permission for the Brit's name to be in an American novel that's released in Japan. So you're now not only dealing with US/Japanese laws, but US/Japanese/British law, and that costs more money. Of course, I could be completely wrong, too. But that's my guess, anyway.
