The other chick:

There’s a new development in the steamy saga of the two peregrine falcons dwelling on the 33rd floor of the Union Bank of California building on Figueroa Street.

When our last episode ended, you’ll recall, the female was still eggless this year. And, what’s worse, downtown bird-watchers had observed the male keeping company with a second female on the Department of Water and Power building.

Well, Union Bank’s Andrew Porterfield tells us that after the company finished some work on its outdoor signs over the weekend, he saw “two falcons swirling about. On Monday morning, one egg was found.”

He adds: “It looks like our wayward male falcon has spent at least a little time with his long-suffering spouse.”

Perhaps. But in this day and age, betrayed spouses have been known to exact their own revenge. If we were the male, we might request a DNA test.

LUKE SKYWALKER, ESQ.: We mentioned that the galactically famous name appeared on a 1978 list of individuals who had passed the California State Bar exam--at a time when the movie “Star Wars” was a smash.

Earth’s Skywalker really does exist.

Several people, including David McFadden, Kelly Reagan and Allen Rennett, ran computer checks and turned up Skywalker in the state of Michigan, where he fights the forces of evil as a prosecutor. He is a graduate of the Wayne State (Mich.) University Law School.

We couldn’t make contact with him. But Rennett added: “Fittingly enough for a Jedi warrior with a sense of his historic predecessors, Mr. Skywalker’s address is on Lancelot Court.”

HELP FOR CHRONIC PARKING VIOLATORS: Al Regal of Culver City came across an unusual school--one we would guess is for people who have a habit of leaving their car in the red zone.

AN ACURA DESCRIPTION? Sal Garcia of Pico Rivera, meanwhile, noticed a “for sale” ad for a car that appears to have several parts that need changing (see excerpt).

WHEN IN L.A . . . : Earl Standberry II, who describes himself as “a Gulf War veteran and homeless by choice,” says criminals have given “homelessness a bad name” and he wants to “re-educate” America about those who are down on their luck.

His solution: “I’ve created a television series about the homeless . . . a comedy/drama series.” He’s looking for a producer.

RETURN TO THE JEDI: This just in--Times research librarian Peter Johnson has unearthed a 1980 Associated Press story on Skywalker the attorney.

The AP reported that he was once named Stephen Peters and “changed his name to that of the ‘Star Wars’ hero shortly before his [law school] graduation in 1978.” The wire service added: “His motives for the name change remain a mystery. Skywalker refuses to answer reporters’ questions.”

And R2D2 isn’t available for comment.

A colleague of ours, whose subscription to Sesame Street Magazine lapsed, received a letter from the publication that issued this threat: “THE NEXT ISSUE WILL BE YOUR CHILD’S LAST.” What is Sesame Street--a street gang? Suddenly, the names of the characters who hang out there sound ominous . . . Cookie Monster, the Count . . .
