Just as Tank was about to put one of the screws back into place, an incredible suction took all the screws, and the huge screwdriver from his hands before he knew it. All items clattered away into the end of the tunnel to vanish into its recesses.
"What the...Simon, did you turn the tunnel on?"
"No...I'm still getting ready to show you what I'd come up with." Simon's voice was muffled as he head was buried in the console, resetting the experiement.
"Well...uh..." Tank was at a loss for words for a second. "Your screwdriver and the screws for this panel just went into the tunnel."
"What!?!" Simons head popped out, covered in cables, with an odd fuse and transistor attached to his tunic. "That's my favorite screwdriver! Where could it possibly have gone!"
He rushed over, but before he could get to the tunnel to investigate, a roar filled the lab as a rather highly drunken wookie lumbered in, promptly tripping over a crate and fell flailing his arms. Which just so happened to smack the console.
"NO!" Both Simon and Tank cried, and the wind tunnel became active once again.
THONK
The lack of the panel created outlandish suction, and before either Jedi or Squadron leader could do anything to stop it, they'd been pulled against the panel.
What really sucked (pun not intended) was that the Wookie was also sucked towards the panel, roaring in absolute disbelievable confusion, wookie hairs smothering both men and the insides of the wind tunnel and beyond.

Tanker (tangk'er)n. 1. A dusty, crusty, grease-covered, dirty, sweaty, bright eyed, fuzzy faced, haircut-needing, beer-drinking, underrated, over-worked, underpaid, oversexed, little s%#* who can take a Tank and do more battlefield damage in ten minutes than a grunt squad can do all day.
