This Week's Geek Reference in the 5 on 5

So, I made yet another geek reference in the RedEye 5 on 5 today, putting out the offer of a 'no-prize' for the reader who can tell me where the reference came from, so comment below with your answer and I'll be reviewing all comments for a winner!

I just need to you tell me who used the term 'bantha poodoo,' what is it and who was it in reference to.

I think this is an easy one, but then again, that's just me.

Be sure to leave a valid e-mail address so I can send you your 'no-prize' if you get it right!

Good luck!

This is a reference to the language on the planet Tatooine, i.e, Wookies. Like Chewbacca.

Sorry Jay. While it IS a Star Wars reference, the character was not speaking wookie.

Nice try!

Oh, and wookies live on Kashyyyk...not Tatooine.
