Universal war on terrorism

[Longinius 1]

CORUSCANT -- Presiding over a memorial service commemorating the victims of the attack on the Death Star, the Emperor declared that while recent victories over the Rebel Alliance were "encouraging, the War on Terror is not over yet."

"We will continue to fight these terrorists, and the rogue governments who harbor them, until the universe is safe, once and for all, and the security of the Neo-New Cosmik Order ensured."

It was one year ago today that the Death Star, perhaps the greatest symbol of the Empire's might, was destroyed in an attack by fanatic Rebels, who used small, single-person crafts to infiltrate seemingly impenetrable defenses. Thousands of mourners were on hand to remember and pay tribute to the victims and their families.

"We lost our innocence that day," reflected one mourner. "I guess we thought we were immune from the kind of violence that happens in other galaxies. We were wrong."

"I lost hundreds of buddies that day," said one teary-eyed Stormtrooper. "Guys whose only crime was trying make the Universe a safer place."

Although the day was colored by sadness, the mourners found some relief in the news of a decisive victory over the Rebels.

In an attack led by Darth Vader, Empire forces were able to rout hundreds of Rebels from a network of caves underneath the surface of the planet Hoth. "We're not sure we got them all," says a Vader spokesman. "There are a lot of places to hide in those caves. But we've delivered powerful blow to the terrorist's infrastructure, that's for sure. Today, the Empire has struck back."

Initial reports are unclear as to the fate of Luke Skywalker, a hero among the Rebels, who is rumored to have delivered the fatal blow to the Death Star. Skywalker, a former desert-dweller from the planet Tattooine, became a part of the Rebellion after family members were killed. Skywalker was trained by a militant wing of the Rebels, known as "Jedi Knights." Fanatical in their religious beliefs, the Jedi Knights claim to derive their power from the mystical "Force."

It's believed that Skywalker was specifically trained by infamous terrorist O bin Wankanobi. Wankanobi, occasionally called "Ben" and easily recognized by his bearded visage and long, flowing robes, achieved near-martyr status among the Rebels after his death last year during a spy mission. His more fervent followers believe that Wankanobi lives on within them today, some even claiming to hear his voice during times of duress.

The attack on the Death Star came shortly after the Empire's destruction of Alderstaan, a planet whose government was known to harbor terrorists. Responding to criticism over the total annihilation of the planet, Vader stated, "There is no middle ground in the War on Terror. Those who harbor terrorists are terrorists themselves. Alderaan was issued ample warning. The fight for continuing Freedom is often burdened by terrible cost."

The cost of this war can still be seen today in the continuing efforts to build a coalition government on Tattooine. Longstanding animosities among the planets various ethnic groups, including the Jawas, Tusken Raiders and scattered human settlers, have been an impediment to the peace process. The Empire continues to maintain a small peace keeping force until a provisional government is finally in place.

Much of the difficulty in fighting the Rebel forces stems from their lack of a central organizing structure. "They don't play by the traditional rules of war," complained one spokesman. "They come in all shapes and sizes, united only by their single-minded desire to destroy the Empire before it destroys them."

The Emperor closed his comments today by stating that "the cowardly attack on the Death Star left a deep scar on the Empire. However, we will not stop fighting until every last evildoer has been brought to justice." He paused for several moments, wiping away a tear and then added with determination, "We will never forget."

"I wish we could all just get along," said one of the mourners. "But it's hard to offer an olive branch to a cult of religious fanatics whose main tool is violence and who insist on calling us the Dark Side."

How is destroying a massive weapons platform terrorism? It is a valid military target.

[Antichrist 0]

Well I wasn't a military platform, laser was basically used to sign autographs on the planet's surface

Damn all those egocentric VIPs!!!

I used to go for holidays there...

[Tovarish 0]

Well, this is a very clever and somewhat humorous analogy likening the Rebel Alliance to the Taliban and Al-Quaeda, but as USSoldier11B already pointed out, there is a slight difference between the Death Star and the WTC

lol "O bin Wankanobi"

Isn't the economic power the strongest weapon of the US?

Do you want to tell us that if there is one civilian employee in a military complex that this comlex is no longer a valid target? And don't tell me that the Pentagon is not a military complex

Did I say that? No. I just said that the Pentagon is a questionable target since there aren't any hard military assets there. Is it a fat juicy target? Yes, it is. Not gonna argue about this here. Supposed to be a humerous thread.

[WhoCares 0]

No hard military assets, but it is supposed to be the head of the 'beast'... No need to argue about that

How about Generals sitting on the toilet when the Airliner hit pentagon???

Terrorists use shitty weapons.... Airliners.... what's next... Flying pooh's with C-4

Nah.. terrorism ain't what it used to be...

Maybe one day it will change.

Joke: Osama Bin laden Calls terror phone calls (calling and hunging up several times) as an act of terrorism towards the white house....

[WKK Gimbal 0]

But the DeathStar must also have been full of non military people and workers.

Especially the 2nd DeathStar under construction. Imagine all the contractors in there!

BTW, try explore the directories of that movie - there's an audio file with Yoda LOL

And how about the fact that the people were pulling down statues on corasaunt when the deathstar blew up?
