Happy Star Wars Day! Did you know that Golem Grad is an island in North Macedonia? Totally the reason why I made this puzzle (and not because it just got a glittering new implementation in pzprxs).

Rules: Draw paths through the centers of cells connecting each circle to exactly one other. Paths may not cross each other, themselves, or through cells containing numbers. All cells used by paths (including the cells with circles) must form one orthogonally connected area. No 2x2 region may be entirely used by paths. Each number represents the size of the area of cells not used by paths that the number is in. An area contains at most one number.
