You are making to much out of the diction, Yoda. "Do or do not. There is no try." In this context, "attempts" means "executes." In fact, had the committee written "tries a try" it would mean exactly the same thing, but would be even more ungainly in my opinion.

How about simply "shoots", rather than "attempts a try" or "tries a try" or "executes a try"? IF that is what is meant, and I do think it is.
