Please also remove "Wars" in "Star Wars"? I mean, too bad for people searching "Trooper", don't you think so? I am not sure what you are trying to say, since the comparison that you are making is not analogous. Not everyone on BrickLink is a Star Wars expert and knows the difference between the different types of clones. Is it redundant? Perhaps. But it's not really a big deal either way. In my OP, I acknowledged that names like “Clone Trooper Pilot” were correct; my issues are with their redundancy, their contribution to the inflation of already-long names, and their awkwardness when paired with the name of a character (e.g. “Clone Trooper Captain Rex”).
