    I found this totally at random and secured it last night.

    starwa.rs ​


    Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but thinking Star Wars related (obviously) either forum.blog/fansite etc.


    Thoughts on domain?

    I think it's pretty cool - Just be careful about the Copyright and TM infringement

    Thats a cool domain hack, it'd be a pretty sweet star wars site if you put it up right

    Neat name hack but this is a TM and Star Wars does protect it's name.
    Might be able to get away with a fan site but not something overly commercial.

    What he said. What you might want to do is get permission from them to use it before you go into ANY development, and probably limit development to a fan site unless they allow you to sell Star Wars products there. Interesting name though.

    Thanks for the comments guys. I'm going to do some kind of news/blog type thing on the root and attach whatever else comes along via subdirs.

    Nice! Develop it to something fantastich and I'm sure a lot of visitors will remember the url or domain name (DUH)!

    Very nice. I also own the following legacy domain:

    1. Tuskens.com - famous star war characters.

    That's a really memorable name. love it because it's really short too... This definitely has to be a fan site.

    Yes I think so. I don't know whether to illicit some assistance with this one though. It might come in useful to have someone with a bit of marketing experience to help me.
