In honor of Star Wars Black Week, it’s the Poe Ghostal’s Points of Articulation Star Wars Black Week “Trygg Poftu” Contest! The prize is a Star Wars Black 6″ Series 2 Boba Fett! Here’s how it works. I’ve created a name for an original Star Wars character: Trygg Poftu To enter the contest, write a bio for Trygg that, in classic Expanded Universe fashion, somehow ties him to major events or characters in the Star Wars universe. We’re looking for humor here, but how you approach that is up to you. Extra effort can’t hurt (i.e., drawings, custom figures, an entire fake Wookieepedia entry, etc.), but the bare minimum requirement is a 250-word bio. Submit your entries to poe@poeghostal.com with the subject line “Trygg Poftu Contest” Rules:
- PGPoA Power Pals, friends & family not eligible
- Open to Poesters in non-U.S. countries
- Enter as many times as you want
- Entries must be received by Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 11:59pm U.S. Eastern time
- The “canonical bio” for Trygg Poftu will be selected by Poe no later than November 20, 2013

Did you come up with the name using one of the old "make your own Star Wars name" generators? I still use the name I made years ago in my D&D campaign and any RPGs I play just because it's so awesome.
Poe Ghostal
No, actually I came up with this one myself. "Trygg" was one of those actual names that sounds kind of exotic anyway (like "Han") while "Poftu" is just a play on "PofToo!", the old figuretoons from the 1990s that used Power of the Force 2 (POFT2) figures.
