"...Yeah, fair enough. I guess even terrible people do non-terrible things sometimes. Or less-than-maximally terrible, at least."

"The Valar are a really mixed bag."

"Oh?"

"I mean, Valinor's nice. Really nice. All peaceful and post-scarcity and anyone who dies comes back and we learned and developed and invented a lot, with their help wherever they could offer it.

Just don't try to leave, yeah?"

"Gilded cage."

"People get really mad when you say that back home."

"Because they're worried the Valar will object violently and/or have Stockholm Syndrome?"

"I'd like to say so, but - mostly because things are great and unless you're of a certain turn of mind all our complaints seem petty."

"What, the turn of mind that values personal autonomy?"

"It's not that I disagree with you it's that I expect if you were summoned by someone happy in Valinor, you'd find the place a paradise, and - that is a thing you should know about it."

"Yeah, fair. I just--I'm thinking about something I read about when I was alive. Panem et Circensis."

"We should trade 'entire media library of home world' sometime. What language is that?"

"Latin."

"Meaning?"

"Bread and circuses. Rome kept its population from rebelling by giving them food and entertaining them."

"Yup, sounds right. Though I've got to say, of all the ways of keeping your population from rebelling... I don't think the Enemy's using bread and circuses..."

"Yes, there's that."

"Got a plan for how to land on Endore?"

"It sounds like an engineering problem, and I am not the engineer in the family."

So he summons Emily back.

Emily has ideas but probably not much Feanaro hasn't already thought of.

So there's no great way to land discreetly on Endore or convince Endore to summon people. That leaves their original plan: giant space battle as distraction to get a couple radar-shielded shuttles to plow into the ocean at lethal-to-Elves speeds, hope the Enemy assumed that they got caught in the giant space battle and that the people on board were in fact Elves.

For these purposes would it be useful to use the forks who do in fact look like Elves?

Probably! As far as everyone knows there are no Elf daeva so they will be assumed not to be daeva, that's a pretty significant advantage.

Okay, well, the forks' names should be either also Edie and Emily, or Ada and Amelia, depending on how forking interacts with names.
