Research:The first thing you should do is research the galaxy far, far away to see what other names sound like.

Research the Antecedents of the Characters in Star Wars
In Star Wars, there are many different characters, with different backgrounds, that have a significant impact on the main plot. We can use Obi-Wan Kenobi as an example.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Master who was once Qui-Gon Jinn’s apprentice. His goal is to train Anakin Skywalker in the ways of the Force and to defeat Darth Vader and his Empire.
Consider These Questions First When You Choose a Star Wars Name
There are many ways that you can choose a Star Wars name.
The first thing you should consider is your character’s personality type. For example, if your Star Wars character is an introverted person then the last thing you want to do is choose a name that will make it hard for people to remember. That being said, if he or she has an outgoing personality and likes to be the center of attention, then a very memorable name might be the way to go.
The following questions can also help you come up with a good name:
What do you already know about your character?
What's their gender?
What's their occupation or position of power?
What are they good at doing or enjoying most?
Who are their friends, family and rivals?
What religion or culture do they belong to?
Where do they live/originate (e.g. Tatooine, Naboo)?
