It means Robau will actually die in a silly meaning less death involving a blind guy, a sarlacc and a sandpit while looking like an idiot.Does this mean Robau's father got decapitated by a bald black dude with a purple laser sword? Sounds sorta badass and appropriate if you think about it.
Just by googling Robau, I've seen people named Mario, Carmen, Omar, and Dave Robau. There's also an Alina Robau Garcia on Linkedin.
So Robau is the kind of name that actually exists.
Is this fad really any worse than the "Not.Dead" thing that started in denial of Trip's death?
Robau's just a fad people. Give it another couple of months to a year and we'll have moved on.
Somewhat more than zero; hence this thread.
Robau is quite a common surname in Puerto Rico, and one held at least by some in Cuba. The character of Captain Richard Robau was named for Roberto Orci's uncle, who was born in Cuba and later emigrated to Mexico.
See an interview from last year in which Orci talks about it.
Edit:
Hmmm...
Robau Fett?
Nahh.
Boba went out like much of a punk than Robau and people take him seriously and genuinley think he's badass. Sad, methinks.
The Robau thread is based mainly in humor - I don't actually think Robau could destroy Romulus with only half of an eyebrow when I say that he could.
Robau may be based in funny - but Fett is the real joke.
The comparison is void - a more apt memetic parallel would be Kyle Katarn.

Hm, sounds like we've got some Nobaus here.
You've done it! You've managed to google-map the location of Heaven!

A couple of months to a year!?!?
Maybe I should follow that old adage and join 'em!
Let's think of what Robau stands for!
Really Outrageous Bad Ass Uniformed-guy!
I wish MY name was Robau.
I don't get how this name is Spanish; it doesn't look like a Spanish word to me. Maybe a Portuguese word (Robão) spelled phonetically in Spanish or something. I can't find an etymology.
I found a Cuban history text where individuals named "de Robau" figure.
Here are the Sainted Soldiers of Vila Robau
Deteriorating Fresco in an abandoned Romanesque church in Vila Robau, Catalunya, España. How can you devotees let this happen.

Well Catalonia is a region of Spain with its own history, language and culture so there is a good chance its from that region. I don't know if there is a history of Portugues immigration to northeastern Spain. The ajoining area of France also speaks Catalonian.
How about "Captain Buzzkill-in-a-light-topic-where-people-just-want-to-hang-out-and-joke-a-bit"?
Just plain "USS Buzzkill" will do for short.
I was thinking more of a unique situation, like Irish mercenary Hugo O'Connor, who fought for Spain in Mexico and whose family name became Oconor.
Well, it's interesting that you should have mentioned above that the name was of French origin, because Catalan (the local language group of Catalonia) is distinctly different enough from Spanish that it's not considered a dialect, and is rather part of a Romance language family which also includes the Occitan languages of southern France (Languedoc, Provençal, etc.) The naming customs and spellings tend to get a bit blurry in such regions.
I also had difficulty finding much on the origins and history of the surname and even the origin of the village name is uncertain (one theory has it derived from the Germanic "Rotwaldi".) The village itself seems to have occupied that spot for a very long time, and would have seen Romans, Huns, various hordes of Germanic barbarians and other groups trooping through or staying for a while, over the centuries.
That sounds about right; even the name "Richard" is Norman, not strictly French. There must be a feature in the village to deserve its longevity, like a river crossing or confluence. And if you can't find it online, I'm confident it's pretty much non-findable online.
