Vader Wants You to Know: Obi-Wan is Dead

The best part about that page is the comments thread that keep in character at the bottom.

Yeah, the comments were the best part. Fuckin' A man.

This just reminds me that I can't remember WHY The Empire is evil

They blew up Alderan killing billions.

But if there were no Rebels, would they even blow up Alderan?

 

[DTWolfwood]

lol fantastically done.

 

[MetalGenocide]

I....need...a video of that...

Maybe Chad Vader could make it?

 

[beema]

This is really fantastic satire!
Even the comments section is hilarious and in-universe

paganeer exercise

If you are able to follow Padme's logic (which you would deserve a prize for), I think it's something about their leader taking special wartime powers.

Which would make just about every government of all time evil.

I saw this on /b/ last night. Laughed for life, five minutes after reading the whole thing.

the only thing that betters this post is the comment feed below it ^_^ Masterful.

Brilliant! Hopefully it wasn't only a one-time thing. Would I make a satire site like "the Galactic Empire Times" a daily read if they ran with it?

YOUBETCHA!

The best bit are the comments there that are a mock up of all the commentaries from the actual geronimo event.

I'd like to think Darth has two birth certificates, one for Anakin and one for Darth

They started construction of the Death Star a generation prior to the rebellion's existence. I imagine that they did that with some level of genocide in mind.

Bullshit! Where's the frakkin' body?!

[small]seriously, how did no one beat me to that joke?[/small]

Take a look at the "comments" on the news page itself. They're even better than the article.

LOL, that was a good recommendation. You guys should totally go read those comments. There's even a spammer selling space weapons.

That was pretty damn epic, perfect situation for satire and well done. However, would have been a lot funnier if in video form.

 

[Jyggalag]

Those were the terrorists we were looking for...

 

[standokan]

Brilliant, just bloody brilliant.

Perhaps it was some sort of defensive weapon?
