Galactic Empire Responds to White House Petition

[Thk13421]

I for one welcome our new imperial overlords!

No, you gotta word your petition differently! I'm telling you, name it "Morning Star" or "Shining Star" or something like that it will sound more appealing.
Oh, and get rid of its middle weak point. Or at least cover it up or something.

I'm still surprised the White House actually considered this petition at all as opposed to dismissing it as a fanboy's joke. Which is kind of what it is. Guess they needed a quick laugh.

They couldn't. It gained the necessary number of signatures to warrant a response, which was given (Although the response was as much of a joke as the petition itself was).

To counter the whole weakness point. why not just make that shaft oh idk. offset. something so that torpedos cant just fly straight down into it.

Ot: as an imperial sniper in swtor. i feel good about the empire. it keeps the peace

Whoever writes these things is a f***ing champion.

8Billion dollars well spent by Disney if we get these sort of press releases if you ask me.

billion? look at those zeros again.

I don't follow, sorry.

Disney acquired LucasFilm (the owner of Star Wars) for 8 bajillion dollars, basically a whole bunch of zero's after an 8, I believe.

OOPS. I thought you were referring to the number in the story for the estimated cost of construction for the death star, which is 8.5 quadrillion dollars.

"Just in case, though, remember these magic words: The Rebel base is on Dantooine."

Cause that did Alderaan so much good?

Unless you're in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, because then you really are giving away the location of the Rebel base!

Move along Imperials, move along.

pfff, The Empire fails to realize the long game we are playing

Spoiler: But by the time our plan is in action it will be to late to stop, and nothing in their feeble forces will be able to stop it

 

[Strazdas]

I bet the goverment now is thiking "damn, it's a trap".

well realistically they probably didnt even see it. now lets make a new 100.000 votes petition?

We're almost 16 trillion dollars in dept, we haven't balanced the budget, the rest of the planet sees us as war mongerers, the last thing the US government can afford to do right now is build a gigantic super weapon. Unlike the empire we can't tax every citizen 90% and use droid/slave labour, perhaps the Emperor would understand that if he had even the faintest inkling of how to run an actual democracy.

But that's just it, the emperor doesn't know how to properly run a democracy! Even when he was a part of one and at the head of one, it was part of his plan to turn it into a dictatorship/empire. The man is an 'EMPEROR' that is destroying entire planets full of civilians to get at the rebels, I don't think he regards tax and economy as being all that important or he would realise the effect on the galactic economy wiping out entire ecosystems and planets from existence.
