I had thought it was just a generic word for robot, or the name for the latest phone from Verizon.

Apparently, "DROID" was mentioned once or twice in that "Star Wars" movie and if someone wants to use the term in an official product name, they've got to clear the rights with George and company.

Say you're a phone company like, oh, I don't know, Motorola. Now say that you've got a new Android handset coming out for Verizon and you'd like to call it the Droid. In order to do so, you've got to clear it with Lucasfilm. Now, say, you get permission. All of your ads and such, from here on out, will have to carry fine print that says something to the effect of "DROID" is a trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. and its related companies.

So what apps would you want on your Star Wars inspired Droid phone? Here is my short wish list;

• Midichlorian Counter
• Droid Identifer
• Tauntaun Opener
• Trash Compactor Deactivator
• Natalie Portman's Cell Number
