Trivia and In-Jokes

About the Story:
This is one of the stories I’d wanted to write for a while. I’d actually started before I got married. I decided to get it completed in time for Star Wars’ 30^th anniversary.

Chapter One:
Rescuing the ship from the scrapheap: AL went the way of her friend, the Doctor, and rescued her ship like he rescued the TARDIS.

Guessing at a translation: Luke was constantly guessing Artoo’s speech in the novel Truce at Bakura.

Chapter Two:
Benjamin Del Ponte: Frequent readers and people who know me know that “Jedi Ben” is the character of my ex. This is the first time in his timeline he’s met AL, however, this is the fourth time she has encountered him.

Chapter Three:
Trying to Ditch the Dodo: It’s a line from The Lion King.

“No one knows that.” “You do.”: A little homage to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, when Gillian says that no one knows the whale, Gracie, is pregnant and Spock responds, “Gracie does.”

Chapter Seven:
“I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of him.”: This is completely true. She just doesn’t know it, yet.
