Haha.

Oh oh, how could one not love Star Wars.
Star Trek is somewhat ok but Star Wars is just great. Without I'd never
find names for software releases, servers, workstations, domains,
whatever.

I don't mind. I'd happy to provide further names but also would be
happy to see any other naming scheme for the codenames. As we are going
to bump the version number for no such a great reason, let's reason it
like 'new codename choosing scheme'  :).
