Part Four: Star Wars (With Luke, Leia, Solo, Bots)
This puzzles was originally posted on the NY Times games forum
With Part 1 of the Star Wars "hexology" due out soon, I thought a puzzle honoring the film might be appropriate.
Star Wars, of course, is one of many movies that consist of two words, each with the same number of letters. Each of the clues below leads to either the first or last word of another such movie. Each one of the first fifteen clues will have an answer matching an answer to one of the second fifteen clues.
The numbers provided do not indicate how long each word is. Instead, they'll help you get a clue. All movies range from (2, 2) to (8, 8)
Set one:
- Hoisting (7)

- Headline (3)
- Something just as pretty (3)
- A band, if repeated twice (3)
