Solved on a 737 aircraft back from a Boeing visit- that's kind of a meta in itself...

Seems I’ll be here awhile, so next round at Isaac’s on me… drink up, my fellow laggards!

Dinner started at 3:55 today. Fortunately hubby didn’t see my sweaty palms as I downed the steak and spinach salad and got dessert to the table in record time. Still, I didn’t start the puzzle until 6:30. Happily, I am on the beach and keeping warm by the bonfire. What a fun puzzle! Good luck everyone. (Uh, anybody bring coconut coated marshmallows for the fire?)

On Naboo. Made decent time while traveling at warp speed (Galactic Standard Time).

I'll have whatever @vandono is having....
[btw, I'm hoping to attend the ACPT this year (end of March) and looking for someone to share accommodation or a local willing to let me crash their couch! Please PM me if you're interested. Thanks.]
I hear your breathing is really loud. And most hotels don't allow light sabers.

Unbelievable construction, as others have noted. The thing that seemed fishy... was in actual fact fishy! That helped a lot in the effort to not chase rabbits.
We are on the Muggle beach, and how we wish it was the real beach!

Isaaac, pour me another. Not even a red herring or a rabbit to keep me company…

Closing out my tab w Isaac…finally! Pretty great AHA after digging deep in myriad rabbit holes. It’s late so just a wee dram of rye as a nightcap

Just when I was about to abandon hope…the mechanism revealed itself! On the beach! I’ll take a gin and juice.

Well that took a little longer than I’d hoped, but safely Ashore!

On the beach (finally!) That metanism took me a long time to see.
I really need that G & T now, barperson!
