No guessing!
I didn't recognize the image till the end. Good work!

That's exactly how I solved it David!

WOW david

Fantastic puzzle, David. Very enjoyable solve. No guessing. Whoever marked it as needs guessing doesn't know how to do edge logic, and therefore should not rate solvability. Please go back and change it.

The image kind of looked like a Star Wars clone trooper, but that wouldn't go with the title. Is it a transformer from the 2011 movie? Do you have an image to share with us?

Beautiful image!
Helmet from the dark side of "Star Wars".

agreed on the logic
no guessing
great image

to me it IS a storm trooper from star wars (i feel it fits the title because the "dark side" of the moon and the storm troopers were on the "dark side" of the force)

plus the death star looked like a "small moon" (to quote luke from the movie)

anyway the tilted angle of this storm trooper reminded me of when luke skywalker first laid eyes on princess leia (although he is tilted the other way):

(pause it right as the time counter changes from 6 seconds to 7 seconds in the clip)

It is supposed to be an traditional Stormtrooper. I looked at a lot of images for reference, but these two were the ones that i was looking at the most:

...was going more for a "feel" than detail-accuracy. Then, of course, solvability had its hand in the final also :)

Now it looks like you're referring to Teresa's comment, so no harm done. :)

Great job, David!

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

This one has been hiding, partly solved and long forgotten. It's a super solve with a wonderful image and enjoyably misleading title, and no lookahead needed. Thank you x 10, David, one for each year gone by.
