However Jerry Falwell would have thought the dark ages to be an excellent
environment for "raising youth" (Read 'control') and this has provided an
Idea about how to illustrate Hobbs �leviathan� in a SF tale. Falwell is a
prototype of a controlling 'mentor' to give the story focus. He does not
even know he is evil.
Of course I will have to find an approprate name, Falwell would not do, it is
too wissy (and he would be really unhappy about it.)

They are like the Borg, if you get my point.
There is only their perception of what is real.
Therefore they are unaware of reality.
OBTW -- What is the 'meaning of "Boba Fett?"
Lucas is literal and direct in naming his characters, as in:
Darth Vador (masculine of vadis) = "Man of no virtue" From Latin.
Luke Skywalker (a 'skywalker' was a navigator in the old sailing days)
Anakin Skywalker (Anikin = renewed or the 'new')
etc.
