The title of this week's contest is "I Spy " by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's contest is a proper name

Good luck with the grid and the meta.

Oh god, not again.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Please remove the cursed Cameo. I am very close but can't get across the goal line.

Edit 30 minutes later: Got it!

On Naboo. I spy something sandy brown... It looks like there's still plenty of room on this beach. ;)

Ashore and starting a new streak this week after taking the L with the last puzzle. And maybe page 1?

Ashore!

Though with lots of help. I suppose you’d call it a group solve, but one in which I mostly stood to the side and remained befuddled.

Needless to say, I won’t enter for the mug.

Good puzzle!

On shore, and on page one, my wife helped me figure the last piece out. Definitely not an easy puzzle.
