Willow's equivalent to Obi-Wan would be the High Aldwin, whose rustic wisecracking vaguely resembles Yoda, especially after he delivers a speech about magic that sounds strikingly similar to descriptions of the Force. Willow Ufgood has several traits in common with Luke Skywalker, a simple farm boy pressed into adventure by forces beyond his control, nudged along by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Not coincidentally, it shares an alarming number of plot and character similarities with the Star Wars universe. George Lucas, renowned for writing and directing Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), both wrote this film's story and served as executive producer. All of this was lost in the final film but does appear in the novelization as well as the comic book mini-series by Marvel. Sorsha was originally the daughter of the king of Tir Asleen, who was a good man (he is in fact the regal old man seen at the end after the fall of Bavmorda and Tir Asleen is restored, and can be briefly seen in stone), which suggested that Sorsha had the capability to be good during the battle at Tir Asleen between Bavmorda's troops, Madmartigan, and the monster, Sorsha encountered her father and he struggled through the stone to ask her for help, which prompted Sorsha to switch alliances from her evil mother to the good side. Madmartigan had a chance to regain his honor in battle, but he ruined the chance by deserting this explained some of the bitter antagonism between Madmartigan and Airk. Madmartigan was originally a knight of the kingdom of Galladorn (the kingdom that General Kael mentions having destroyed to Queen Bavmorda) and that the character Airk was the only real friend he had, but Madmartigan's recklessness got him into trouble, as did his love affair with an Eastern beauty that tainted the family name. The earlier drafts of the screenplay contained more background information on the characters Madmartigan and Sorsha.
