Stay on Target

Move over Heriburt Illig, because papa's got a brand new favorite conspiracy theory. Drum roll please...

The destruction of the Death Star at the hands of the rebel fleet during the battle of Yavin was in fact an inside job! I know how implausible it sounds at first but the folks over at websurdity have raised some new and troubling questions about the official story as portrayed in Star Wars. Among my favorites:
Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?

How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to “bullseye womprats” on Tatooine? This shot, according to one pilot, would be “impossible, even for a computer.”

Grand kudos to you who invented this theory.

what about the "conspiracy" that there is no force?

Oh come on. I could do that. It would be just like Baker's Canyon back home.

do you mean the conspiracy that the force is not a religious phenomenon but is instead a result of microscopic mitichlorian secretions? yeah, I don't believe that for a second.

OH and BTW, I could do that at full throttle, and still have time to pull up. Despite any doubts you may have heard from my buddy Wedge (you can call him Red-2 if you like).
