Today's writer of Gameplay reminded me (again!) how much older I am than many of the devotees of the Saturday crossword puzzle. I remember going to the movie theater to see "Harry and Tonto" so the fact that Ms. Lovinger had never heard of the movie--sigh! Art Carney's Oscar win was well-deserved!

As a "Star Wars" fan, I liked the link to Kessel Run in Tricky Clues! Every time I watch the original movie (or "The Force Awakens") and hear Han Solo misuse the term "parsec" I cringe! Still love the movies though!

I don't know if anyone else remembers, but the clue "British rock group" appeared in a New York Times crossword puzzle a while back. And the answer to the clue back then was the same as in today's puzzle!

As others have noted, this was not a particularly difficult Friday puzzle. For me, as one of the world's oldest "Star Wars" fans, the 21-Down clue was a real treat! And may the Force (Ford?) be with all of you!

I had some problems with the theme clues, but after solving enough of the across clues, I was able to figure out the theme clues. Interestingly, 7-Down was the easiest theme clue for me (maybe because I used to have a number of these items!). I wish I didn't have to point this out, but the answer to 62-Across is rather problematic due to the actions of the current occupant of the White House!
