    With this brand of alphabet sheep, the chewbacca rule can come into play, often with hilarious results ::

    The Chewbacca rule :: If asked to name a non-humanoid character from star wars, you might be faced with the choice of Chewbacca, R2D2 or C-3PO. The +EV play is to pick R2D2 as picking one of Chewie or C-3PO is likely to split the vote :D

    There are going to be a good few "Chewbacca's" in this game ;)
