Planning a January evening in Knoxville need not involve a council meeting, although an imaginary Jedi might request one before agreeing that hockey belongs on the itinerary. Knoxville Ice Bears Star Wars Night 2027 offers a practical answer: Knoxville Civic Coliseum on January 23, 2027. The invitation lists doors opening at 6:10pm and an approximate end at 11:00pm Eastern time; a separate game-start time was not supplied.

There is something satisfying about a plan that names an actual building rather than a remote moon with questionable directions. You can put Knoxville on the calendar and leave the interplanetary navigation for another evening. Whether your preferred subject is hockey or the maintenance demands of a famously temperamental starship, the date is now comfortably more specific than sometime after the next transmission. The council can consider the scheduling question settled.
