Bespin
Does anybody remember the argument as to why Bespin was supposedly Puerto Rico?

Bespin was kept under the Empire's thumb and treated poorly. That, through a haze of smoke, was kinda like Puerto Rico *almost* getting statehood but not quite.
From there, it spiraled out into jokes about prejudice vs. Bespinians (Bespinites?).
