She says she is 29, but he figures she has to be at least 37 based on this, and it's driving him nuts.

At one point Barney is putting up a slide show for Ted's students, which is meant to be part of an architecture related field trip that has been going horribly wrong, but instead he has all of these slides and facts about Ewoks, including a chart that shows when people were born in relation to whether they like or hate Ewoks. At one point he quickly skips through a bunch of slides to skip ahead, but as they are quickly show, he's got all of these charts, facts, etc about the anatomy of Ewoks, what they eat, and all kinds of other stuff.

In the end, it turns out that this woman was not lying about her age, but instead had only seen the SW movies for the first time about a year ago.

Separately from this plotline, Marshall (Jason Seigel's character) who works for an environmental law firm is upset because his company is accepting some big cash settlement over a legal case instead of fighting to protect the environment (which is what he would prefer), and at the party that the law firm has to celebrate the big cash settlement, the "Yub Nub" song from ROTJ was playing. It was hilarious!

That was hilarious! My fiancee was watching it and I caught that part where Barny was showing all of his charts to Ted's students. It was hysterical!
