Episode Notes

After combining my Monorail Transport System and Monorail Transport Base into a single track, I discovered there was just one snag... the train from 6990 is too big to fit through the twirly radar station of 6991!

Now, on Tranquility Base what might cause such a snafu? Yep... incompetence - this time supplied by everybody's favourite astromech droid.
