It's a truly awesome opportunity that Lucasfilm is giving Star Wars fans -- a chance to give Jacen Solo his Sith name: Darth ______. See this page for details and submission form.

After getting quite excited and emailing the link to all my fellow Star Wars fans here in Australia, I go back to read the dreaded Fine Print (TM), to find that the competition is only for residents of the USA.



I'm expecting the usual response of "for legal reasons". If Lucasfilm can legally make millions of dollars in profit from its international fan base, employ authors from outside of the USA, and film the saga in other countries, then why can't it also extend this invitation to name a Sith Lord internationally?

Just a thought.
