> [@GIGObuster](#): > > How did King Saul manage to get an Ewok? You joke but clearly Lucas took that name out of the Bible. Lucas grabbed names for stuff from anywhere. Tataouine is a city in Tunisia, and Lucas filmed the scenes on Tatooine in the original film in various locations in Tunisia. Also, the Ewoks are named after the Miwok people who were indigenous to where Lucas lives in California. > **[The Names Came From Earth (Published 1997)](https://www.nytimes.com/1997/01/26/movies/the-names-came-from-earth.html)** > > Eric P Nash article on the significance of some of the names given to people, places and things in the Star Wars trilogy, which is returning to theaters with a digitally remastered soundtrack, new scenes and some visually enhanced effects; photos (M) ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Maybe he did and what we’re seeing is evidence on how messed up they left his brain. My totally untrained WAG is his addictive predisposition has latched upon a different set of neuroreceptor stimuli – about being “close to power” and about knowing “The Truth”. And like a classic addict, he’s letting sating the urge wreck his legit work and fortune. This is your every relative who has been sucked into the social media addiction rabbit hole, but _with money_ and a public presence. ---

You don’t have to posit drug use to explain his behavior. This looks to me like essentially the secular equivalent of a religious conversion. Of course he’s going to be all gung-ho about it. Many people pick up a new hobby or a new cause with extreme gusto and enthusiasm. It often doesn’t last, but while it does, it’s all they can talk about. ---

Having essentially lost his company his celebrity, such as it is, is now all he has left as a revenue scheme. And anyone who’s been paying attention to the last 10-15 years of internet celebrity knows that you can’t fall out of the public eye for even a minute and expect to climb back in. Too many other crabs in that bucket. So you’ve gotta keep tap dancing every minute of every day. ---
