The person doing the live captions for this conference is not a Star Wars fan. The current presenter is using clips of Star Wars and the Star Wars Holiday Special to lead into topics about accessibility, and the transcript keeps spelling Chewie's name as "Chubaca".

Oh, and looking back at the transcript, it seems we also have "Bobofet".

...using clips of Star Wars and the Star Wars Holiday Special...

...triggering traumatized flashbacks among the audience members who have seen the Life Day Special.

If you have time/inclination, I'm curious as to how they're using Star Wars & the Holiday Special to lead into topics of accessibility.

I'll try to remember to give it a go when we get copies of the presentations (and, I hope, the captioning transcript because I have a hard time paying attention to talking heads). I can't at the moment because it was the eighth presentation of the day and by then I was totally zoned out, and only coming back to consciousness briefly to go "Ooh! Star Wars clips!" Accessibility is a very important topic in web design, but eight hours of presentations totally melts my brain no matter what the topic! XD

I can vaguely remember him showing the clip where the Rebels were using the stolen Imperial shuttle to get to Endor and Chewie roared a complaint and Han said "I don't think they designed these shuttles for Wookiees," or some such, and used that to lead into a section of discussion.

Oh, I totally understand. I have 2 three hour classes back to back on Fridays and by Friday afternoon I can hardly remember my name, let alone what we talked about.

Looks good to me! But then I've never seen the movies. I'm guessing Chewbaca and Bobafett?

*gasp of horror* Never seen them? Blasphemy!

Kidding aside, Chewbacca and Boba Fett. :)

Technically my dad took me to the original first movie when they re-released it it to theaters some years ago but I fell asleep... People are often surprised as I can get most references without seeing the movie as it is just that popular. Also I read a random Star Wars trivia book back in the day so I know what the TIE in TIE fighter stands for, but not the names of main characters.
