Darth Who Contest



The winning entry in the "Darth Who Contest" will be the official Sith name of a major character to be revealed in the upcoming book Sacrifice, the fifth in the Legacy of the Force series. The contest ended at 12:00 am EST on December 1, 2006. The top five names were chosen by the editors at Lucasfilm and Del Rey, and the authors of the Legacy of the Force series. Their selections were announced on January 23, 2007.

Rules
The contest was open to all registered members of the Star Wars official site who are American citizens over the age of 18. Each member was able to submit one name only. The contest lasted from October 3 to November 30, 2006. Aaron Allston, Troy Denning, and Karen Traviss selected the top five entries, which were then posted on the official site on January 23 and will remain on the site for voting until February 27, 2007. During this time, registered members of the official site can vote for the winner.

Implications
It had been originally thought that the Legacy book series might determine whether or not Jacen Solo will become Darth Krayt of the Legacy comics (a common fan theory), but the announcement of the contest has altered this concept, as the Sith name will be determined by contest and Darth Krayt is not one of the potential names.
