Dogs Of Star Wars: These are the 10 most popular Star Wars names for adorable dogs - including Yoda 🐕
Today is May the Fourth (be with you), which is now the date for an international celebration of everything to do with the Star Wars films and television spinoffs.
To celebrate we thought we’d look at the most popular dog names inspired by the sci-fi franchaise, whether it’s ‘Chew-bark-er’, or ‘Dog Vader’ (neither of which, sadly, make the top 10).
Pet insurance provider, Animal Friends, who have more than a million animals on their books, have analysed their internal data to see just how many British pets have a Star Wars-inspired name, and which prove to be the most popular.
And while some will be no surpise – with the likes of Yoda and Chewie making an appearance – Force fans might be shocked to see some of the notable absences, including Grogu, Jabba and Skywalker.

5. Kylo
Another, perhaps surprising, entry from the most recent trilogy of films is Kylo. Named after (spoiler alert) the alter ego of Ben Solo, the villainous-yet-complex Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver, was responsible for one of the most shocking moments in Star Wars history. If you've not seen it, we'll not give it away. Photo: JUSTIN TALLIS
6. Rey
A former scavenger who was abandoned on the planet Jakku as a child, Rey becomes one of the main heroes of Episodes VII-IX. Played by Daisy Ridley she's clearly also a hero to all the dog owners who name their pet after her. Photo: Canva/Getty Images
7. Chewbacca

8. Solo
Han Solo was the smuggling scoundrel, played by Harrison Ford, who eventually came good in the original Star Wars film. The character would no doubt be outraged to be less popular than Chewie. Photo: YOSHIKAZU TSUNO
