Enjoyed this,despite not being a star wars fan! Particularly enjoyed box 5 logic!

A bit congested graphically, but the puzzle itself was very nice.

I agree with the substance of @asp1310's comments, but not with their tone.
All the contributors here are rendering us a free service. I believe they deserve our thanks and appreciation, rather than any kind of opprobrium.
Thank you, Ceedrich (and others) for your (high-grade) generosity. May the force be with you!

I have seen multiple people make multiple comments on multiple of your past comments: Stop using such thick, dark lines. It makes it very hard to pencil mark.
Yes, we understand it is thematic, but you could always simply just show the Star Wars theming in the image and then have a normal actual Sudoku in the link. Or even just two links: One normal Sudoku with normal lighter lines, and then another for your Star Wars style one. Hell if you use tinyurl, you can even track how many people click each one and see for yourself how unpopular the thick, dark lines one is in comparison to the normal one yourself!
