Happy birthday to Kumail Nanjiani (@kumail.bsky.social), who played Haja Estree in OBI-WAN KENOBI! May the Force be with you!

Happy birthday to C-3PO himself Anthony Daniels! May the Force be with you!

(George went to at least one Trek convention during the development of Star Wars, which is kind of wild to think about)
