Wow, what a fun Zoom call! Thank you to Eric Porter and Heidi for sharing their bull's-eye insights -- they opened the floodgates for literally dozens of solvers. It was great to see everyone -- this is a truly wonderful community!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

On Naboo. So many distractions and... too much flickering on the dashboard ... veered off course, of course... but got it ... now time for a drink. 8-)

Also ashore with the help of the Fri Zoom group, which managed to get me down to earth from drifting 29A in the stratosphere.

I really have to start going to the zoom meetings. Can I get a small nudge please?

Edit: thanks for the nudge. No further help needed!

On shore thanks to the Zoom meeting. I never would have figured that out on my own.

Great puzzle naturally, which I now have solved thanks to a nudge. I'm grateful to @hcbirker of course for the nudge but sooo mad at myself because I did what I should have done to see what would have solved it for me and then ignored the obvious signpost. Ah well, I got last week's at least.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Needed the zoom room for this one. Very “crypticy” Mr. Shenk!
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward. ;)
