"Star Wars Insider attempted to interview Korman in 2003 for the 25th anniversary of the Holiday Special; the phone call with his agent was unintentionally hilarious, as the confused man kept marveling, "Harvey was in Star Wars? Harvey!?"

"WNYX news time, 1247 mark 59. Tragedy struck today in Sector 9, as rebel terrorists blew up the Death Star, killing thousands. The Rebel Alliance, a fringe group of Anti-Empire fanatics, has claimed responsibility for the terrorist act. Fortunately, Lord Vader escaped without harm. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims."

"Oh, look who learned some of the actual names of stuff after you guys yelled at me for making everything up for the first four episodes. I owe it all to Wookieepedia, which lists these binoculars as belonging to the Galactic Empire. These ones must have fallen off a space truck and into Rebel hands."

Cloak of Deception (+3)
"It was theorized&mdash;by those who devoted themselves to such things&mdash;that one could fall from the roof of the senate dome and land directly in the medcenter at which the delegates enjoyed exclusive privilege, assuming, of course, that the winds that blew through Coruscant's chasms were just right, and that one managed to miss being struck by passing vehicles during the plunge through the traffic lanes. A safer and more certain method for arriving intact at the Galactic Senate Medcenter was to ride a turbolift from the rotunda, or be delivered there by skycar, as Senator Palpatine had chosen to do."
