On Naboo. Easy landing, and as much fun as an attack of clone troopers. :D

On shore. Whew! It has been a while since I ROCKeted to shore--it will be nice to lay claim to my PIece of beach. The word GEographical caused a little worry when I read the meta clue, but I soldiered ON regardless. I'll have a sangria--a glass of red and a glass of white--so I can conduct a taste test.

Hi all… I’m Al; remember me? I used to solve metas. If I recall correctly, the verbiage is “I am on shore,” right? And then I request a beverage of some ilk? (now why did he bring me some milk?).

Got It. My kind of puzzle.
Saw that Al wasn't drinking, so waiting for the bartender to get it together.

On shore. No endless rabbit holes for me this week.
We've had ones where it's a 100%er before, but the way this was put together made me smile.

On the beach. Whew! Just made page 1. Y'all will have to get your own drinks. The cabana boy is visiting his grandmother. He’s such a good boy!
