Obi-Wan Kenobi as Merlin?
A while ago, I created this cute little list comparing Arthurian legend
to Star Wars. (Primarily the first book and first movie.) My
father, for reasons unknown to me, has typically gotten credit. However...here
it is, on my web page, for once. It's pretty neat, too. Niniane gets
to be Darth Vader. ^_^
