From the Dec. 24, 2015, Chicago Tribune by Meg Jones.
"Luke Skywalker, the swash-buckling, light saber-rattling hero of George Lucas' imagination, could be based on a Civil War hero born in Milwaukee.
"Emphasis on 'could.'
"Some 'Star Wars' fans will likely scoff at the idea that Darth Vader's son was inspired by a soldier who lost his father at an young age and left home to wage war in a land far, far away.
"But an amateur historian and Civil War buff from Milwaukee thinks he can draw a fairly straight line from Howard Bass Cushing to the hero of the blockbuster franchise."
Whose Father? --Old Secesh
