What does Twitter have against\u00c2\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>? We’re not quite sure. But a list maintained by the social networking site of passwords you’re not allowed to use features that movie title plus many other familiar sci-fi words and phrases.<\/p>\n

The taboo terms include:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

batman<\/p>\n
gandalf<\/p>\n
matrix<\/p>\n
ncc1701<\/p>\n
startrek<\/p>\n
starwars<\/p>\n
superman<\/p>\n
<\/em><\/p>\n
thx1138<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
In addition to the banned movie titles and character names, there are also more generic ones, such as:<\/p>\n
dragon<\/p>\n
merlin<\/p>\n
monster<\/p>\n
rocket<\/p>\n
saturn<\/p>\n
<\/em><\/p>\n
wizard<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
Why are these passwords off limits to Twitter users? It’s been suggested that perhaps the company detected attackers trying to hack accounts with them.<\/p>\n
