I met a man in Seattle at a party and it turned out his name was Luke Skywalker, and this truly was his birth name. It was on his driving license and everything. Later, going back to his house, I was treated with a look at his enormous collection of Star Wars memorabilia, all in perfect condition, set in glass cases.
Many people had bought him items related to Star Wars over the years from when he was a boy, and so there were all kinds of models and characters, from spaceships to droids, and figurines of all the cast.
His situation was quite unique, and a company advertising combination door locks that he used found out about him, and they negotiated a deal where they interviewed him in his house, and made a professional YouTube video about him. It got a few million views, and he was able to take an income from the advertising revenue.
