Dar Weider

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2005)

I'm a big fan of a sci-fi literature and have read a lot both in Russian and English. The reason I'm putting my comments here is my curiosity. There's a Russian sci-fi book "Tumannostj Andromedy" written in 1930 by a Russian writer Ivan Efremov. The main character's name is "Dar Veter". What is it a coincidence, that it closely resembles "Dar Weider" in the Star Wars series, hardly ever because the spelling is too close. I'm not sure when the book "The Star Wars" was written, but it sure looks that someone liked the name and used it, but who? I wonder when The Star Wars was written? Maybe earlier, like the 20-s? I'm not expecting your comments, just put my notes to make it full 10 lines of required space.
