I wonder if it would be possible to slice off the “forty” in “forty-two” when 3PO says that the celebration only occurs every 42 years. That way it would only be every 2 years, which is slightly more believable.
Yeah, I know it’s meant to be the difference between 2019 and 1977 (release year of Star Wars), but honestly that’s a really strange easter egg considering the fact that it no longer has any meaning in 2020+.
Yeah, I’d be down for that. Remove plot contrivance #11,646. I wonder if we could even just trim that line entirely (“Oh boy! It’s the Acky Acky Festival!” “Well, that’s lucky.”), or replace it with something else (“What is this?” ”I know what this is!” “Well, that’s lucky.” “It’s the Acky Acky Festival.”).
