MEOW #229 The Real Menace

A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.

Unfortunately, experience has taught me that 35 is likely to be the end number. But hey, I liked the idea even if it was not universally popular...of course I'm a Star Wars geek.
Experience taught you wrong; just debagged the cat. Had the explicit part days ago; finally paid proper attention to the instructions to get the rest.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Well I was almost right, BarbaraK was the last back to the Rebel base coming in number 36.

Thanks to those who solved it, and for those who did not and want to know how, here it is:
