Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES.

Parking available very close by, but not directly in front of the cache. Difficulty rating due to the puzzle. Cache is fairly easy to find.

FTF prize is something in US currency! [:)]

In order to find this cache, you need to find the other caches in this series and figure out the puzzle below. These are the other caches in the series:

Jango Fett GC2ZXRG
General Grievous GC2ZXQX
Boba Fett GC2ZXQV
Darth Maul GC2ZXQR

In each of the caches from the series, there is a quote. Be sure to WRITE THE QUOTES DOWN, because they are necessary to figure out this puzzle.

---

In the Jango Fett cache, get the quote and do the following:

Take the 4th word and the 6th word and write them down.

In the General Grievous cache, get the quote and do the following:

Take the 3rd word and write it down on the same paper.

In the Boba Fett cache, get the quote and do the following:

Take the 4th word and the 6th word and write them down on the same paper.

In the Darth Maul cache, get the quote and do the following:

Take the 2nd word and write it down on the same paper.

You should have 6 words. Alphabetize them, then squish them together so it's one big word (still alphabetized).

Delete all of the vowels (y doesn't count), L's, and S's.

Substitute each letter for it's number value. (ex: A=1, B=2 ... Y=25, Z=26) EXCEPT switch it around so Z=1 and A=26. Remember, no spaces between the numbers.

Now: (this is just an example) If I want you to erase the 3rd 2, then I would say " -3_2 " (minus 3rd 2). the underscore represents the space between the 2 numbers.

-1_2
-1_7
-2_9
-1_1
-2_1
-2_4
-3_1
-4_1
-2_7
-5_1
-1_3

Now, we add some numbers: (this is just an example) If I want you to add a 5 between the 9 and the 4, I would say " +5 (9_4) " (add 5 between 9 and 4, so this turns out to be 954). The numbers in the parenthesis are always in order.

+6 (9_9)
+6 (6_9)
+8 (2_0)

Now: (this is just an example) If I want you to move the 2nd 5 in between the 4 and the 6, I would say " 2_5 :: 4_6 " (2nd 5 in between the 4 and the 6). A * indicates there is no number there (the end or beginning of the line of #'s).

3_2 :: 6_9
2_9 :: 0_*

NOW:

you have the coordinates of the Death Star, except for the 36° and 121°. I'm giving you those keep the numbers in order when you get the coordinates.
N36° ____.______
W121° ____.______

GOOD LUCK!!!
