    Im not sure if you guys knew this but it's news to me, but the AVCO production code name has finally been explained.

    It's named after the Avco theatre in Westwood, California where J.J. and Greg Gunberg first saw Star Wars back in 1977. Gunberg talks about it in an interview.

    I take it then that AVCO became the production code name after JJ came onboard. I guess Foodles must have been the pre-production code name with Kennedy and Arndt.

    I'm still trying to figure out Space Bear with Rian Johnson.
    But yeah, the name Foodles must mean something to Arndt.
