The Lonesome Death of Joe Alderaan
There was nothing particularly strange about this Thursday morning as Joe Alderaan, a chartered accountant from Newark, downed the last of his coffee and headed out the door to work. At least, not until he got outside, and found a giant mettalic orb filling the sky. Ironically the last thing that went through his mind was
“That’s no moon…that’s a space station”
He was obliterated instantly.
Many miles away, Obi-Wan felt a disturbance in the force, as if one, non descript voice cried out…and was suddenly silenced.
The Empire continues to deny the incident, saying that “the Galactic Empire doesn’t make mistakes.” Further questions from the press were halted when the Galactic Press Corp all began to choke simultaneously.
