Until the 9th movie comes out and they know what story arc they're working with? And then a little bit of prep time after that. I thought that was in one of the news blurbs above the commentary, but it looks like they moved it...

That's how long the whole interlude is gonna take. I'm specifically talking about this bit.
I suspect they may be one and the same.
I suspect that in another 4 week we'll finish with this episode. As for what's next? Luke might split off on his own, and go after ... Homer Simpson?
Something something its not easy being green.
So, midichlorians allow for infinite re-sleeving? Just when I thought I couldn't hate them any more...
If anyone has forgotten the quest:

They need Yoda's midi-clorians (not Yoda, just his MC's) to search a large area to find the adults with purchasing power.
I did always wonder about that name. My guess is some other aliens had already established trade with the Wookies and Kashyyyk, in their language, meant something like third-planet-from-the-local-sun. Either that or someone invented a phonetic system for Wookie using letters already in use ("k" represents "grr!" "K" represents "GRRR!!!"). So, people who don't get out the "what this letter means in Wookie" guide just try to say it with the sounds those letters mean in their language.
Of course, no one's proven anyone in the Star Wars galaxy can read (I thought that would change when they brought up the Jedi books in the last movie, but Luke hadn't read them. It's not clear if he didn't or couldn't. Yoda probably could, since he said page-turners they were not, but kids who can't read often try to cover by saying they didn't read something because it was boring. Maybe 900 year old Jedi do the same thing.
Um, there are lots of written letters in Star Wars? They even have a name for it, because of course they do. Its just paper, specifically, that doesn't show up.Quote:

Oh cmon, you even got Kashyyyk right! Wookiees. 2 E's.Quote:

Not going to argue for or against it today, but it's an interesting premise I've seen debated elsewhere.Quote:

Well, yes, you do have a certain notoriety about Woookiees, Pele. :smallwink:Quote:

Then who wrote the books, and for whom were they written?Quote:

So, is Mark Luke's clone? Or just someone who mysteriously resembles Luke? His cousin from Scotland or something like that.
Clone for sure, but it would be a funny twist if he was actually his long lost brother separated at birth and given to the kaminos for safe keeping. They just told him he was a clone to keep him safe from Vader.
They were triplets!Quote:

I don't recognize the song from #1774, however.
I like the shout-out to Dr. Seuss's Fox in Socks in today's title.
I've definitely heard the song in #1776 before: Swim, said the mama fishie, swim if you can,...
