On shore, what a solid metanism

I think you'll know it when you see it!

Yes, I definitely know I found something! It's just I'm not really familiar with the something, and not entirely sure if it makes sense. It's possible I missed a step, although on the whole I think I did submit the right answer. Just wanted to report a slight bit of doubt in case I turn out to be wrong :-)

Ashore! Close to page 2 (if not squeaked in at the bottom…)
Edit: alas. I blame spotty WiFi on the plane, lol.

Just getting started. If this is music based as it seems to be I am a goner. Complete musical dunce.

I may be asking someone for a nudge on Sunday...

On Naboo. After a bit of turbulence in the landing pattern. And it looks like Din Grogu beat me to the grog! ^^

Ashore. I had a bourbon and a cigar while solving it, so I guess I will stay on that train

Got it all by my little self, after patiently trying out a bunch of theories based on the clues offered. This was really fun once one of these theories finally worked!!

I’ll sip on just a little a Woodford on ice, thanks!
