Name that Name: Web 2.0 vs. Star Wars

Wedge, meet Qoop.
Qoop, meet Wedge.

In case you think the term "Web 2.0" isn't beaten to death already, here's a fun quiz. The goal of the quiz is to distinguish which word is the name of Web 2.0 dot-com business and which one is a name from Star Wars.

Here are a couple of freebies to get you started: Wedge is the name of a Star Wars character. Qoop is not.

The other 41 words in the quiz, including barada, kiko, bossk, brakiss, trumba, eskobo, callista, favoor, nuvvo, jango, meebo, pando, jarjar, nilo, oola, lulu, padme, agatra, sebulba, oyogi, renkoo, watto, yedda, greedo, django, zoto, panaka, riya, dooku, reddit, tarkin, daala, congoo, ning, thrawn, lando, squidoo, wicket, collectivex, tagyu and goowy, are up to you.

Full disclosure: I managed to get 32 of them right, though I have a feeling it's more due to my hyper-absurd knowledge of Star Wars movies than an award-winning expertise in Web 2.0 esoteria.
