But then a phantom menace struck. George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, "In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it looked really good, but he didn't like [Mason Briggs'] name. We're like, 'What do you mean, George?' He responded to the effect of, 'It doesn't really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart' "So everybody's like, 'No, he's gotta be f--ing with us? He's absolutely not. So when something like that happened - in the middle of the campaign, mind you - we have to go back through that entire naming convention again... from scratch." From that second session, Jet Brody was born. Coincidentally. Jett is the name of Lucas' son.ALT
A similar situation arose with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed's protagonist, Starkiller. "[That name] was only supposed to be a nickname or call sign, not a proper name from the beginning," a former LucasArts employee says. The development team hoped that Lucas would give Vader's apprentice a Darth moniker, which at the time, was something that didn't happen often. "The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a 'Darth' title," a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. "He threw out 'Darth Icky' and 'Darth Insanius?' There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say 'just kidding, but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point."ALT
