“Yes, from a certain point of view.” Han Solo served for five years in the IMPERIAL NAVY (yeah, the bad guys!) before he was kicked out because he refused to skin Chewbacca the Wookie. (As a result, Chewbacca sticks with Han forever due to his Life Debt.) Since Lucas used the Nazis as a model for the Evil Galactic Empire, you get credit for being on the right track.[+3]

Welcome aboard.
The illustrated characters look nothing like the actors?
It only has one satellite: Charon. That’s all I can think of for now.
Wheat?
BONUS) “Its” is possesive. “It’s” is a contraction of “it is”. What makes this interesting, and confusing is, typically, in english grammar, the appostrophy “s” usually denotes possessiveness. Not here! No Sir-ee Bob! We need that “'s” for the contraction.

Dan Savage is my role model. I believe he was one of the best live theater directors Seattle has ever had, and The Stranger’s gain is Seattle theater’s loss. Maybe if he ever gets too old or cranky to enjoy writing Savage Love, the Emerald City’s punk-ass stages will get him back.[/hijack]

It only has one satellite: Charon. That’s all I can think of for now. [+1. [The other one I was thinking of is “Charon is Pluto’s tiny moon,” etc. when it ain’t all that tiny and it ain’t let Pluto win the center-of-gravity sweeps yet.]
Wheat? [Ooh! So close! I give you one point out of three: the full answer is BEER, including one or more of the farmed grains wheat, rye, and barley.]
BONUS) “Its” is possesive. “It’s” is a contraction of “it is”. What makes this interesting, and confusing is, typically, in english grammar, the appostrophy “s” usually denotes possessiveness. Not here! No Sir-ee Bob! We need that “'s” for the contraction. [For that, you win a billion trillion gazillion points! And I get one.]
