Wasn’t trying to be mean to him. I thought the name would pique his interest and we’d have a laugh together. Kept hoping he’d get it really. He just never bit. He and I are still good even though we don’t work directly with each other anymore.
So, that’s what sparked my memory of this “confession”. Just like Tony Pizza it was random. I really didn’t think of him as a drone or anything, but he was a “head down” type of worker for sure. Super smart with an engineering mindset and no depth of pop culture knowledge. Definitely did not know what I was talking about and so I ceased once the joke failed. Live and learn. This was 20 years ago.

look at it from the point of view from someone who doesn’t know Star wars much at all. It sounds like a license plate lmao

It’s a pretty good nickname. I’d’ve appreciated it.
