I particularly recall that in *Return of the Jedi*, Chewbacca can be heard howling the "Tarzan yell" as he swings on a vine to attack stormtroopers.David Birrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973889429164886381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-25776798298752500352016-09-23T08:29:56.724+01:002016-09-23T08:29:56.724+01:00Sean,

Gandalf, Frodo Baggins, and Aragorn comes most easily to my mind.<br /><br />And, of course, we see Nicholas van Rijn in "House Rule," one of the Old Phoenix stories. Which means Old Nick came from a timeline where Technic Civilization was REAL.<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
