Han Dardell Thorpe, a celebrated male chief pilot in the galactic fleet, commanded the well-known cruiser called Tarnack. He was the father to Chuiee Two Thorpe, who served as the padawaan to Jedi-Bendu Mace Windy.
A two-page summary from 1973 for the movie that eventually became Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, known as Journal of the Whills (Part) I, included a reference to Han Dardell Thorpe. The final version of A New Hope features Han Solo, a character who shares his first name with Thorpe.
