"Lucasian anagram" is a term we just made up, but we think it will catch on. Throughout the Prequel trilogy, there are characters whose names are pretty lazy anagrams of George Lucas' friends, the actors who portrayed them, or other members of the crew working on the movie. The Lucasian anagram is a subset of the technique "Tuckerization" which also involves using the names of real people in your story as an in-joke, but the Lucasian anagram is differentiated by the lazy or haphazard nature with which the names are applied.

Notable examples include

  1. Antidar Williams, whose name is an anagram of the ship he co-piloted (and perished aboard)
  2. Coleman Trebor, anagram of Robert Coleman
  3. Coleman Kcaj, named for Jack Coleman, Rob Coleman's son, but no relation of Coleman Trebor.
  4. Senator Grebleips, whose name is just "Spielberg" backwards.
