Title: Vader's no good, horrible, really stinky day
Author: Jade Pilot
Genre: humor
Timeframe: ROTJ
Summary: Who says the movies aren't funny? For our first workshop, we are going to try taking something not funny… and making it humorous and no more than 500 words!

Notes: Well, as usual, I saw this challenge through my somewhat warped senses and wrote it from a different POV.

Return of the Jedi: While waiting for clearance to land on Endor, the occupants of the Imperial shuttle get a little nervous.






Darth Vader leaned in close to the tracking screen and paused. “What is it Captain Piett?”

“Admiral, sir.”

“What?”

“It’s Admiral Piett, my Lord.”

Vader folded his black clad arms across his massive chest. “When did you become an admiral?”

“I believe it was right after you choked Admiral Ozzel, Sir.”

“Ozzel…Ozzel…which one was he?”

“The one after Motti, my Lord.”

Vader tapped his finger against his mask. “The one from Tepasi?”

“No sir, that was General Tagge.”

“Did I choke him?”

“I believe he died on the Death Star, sir.”

“Dang it…I so wanted to choke him.”

“Yes sir.”

Vader sighed. “Well, there’s always Tarkin…”

Admiral Piett swiveled his chair to face the Sith Lord. “I regret to inform you—”

“Argh! Don’t tell me he died on the Death Star also!”

“I’m afraid so, my lord.”

Vader pounded a gloved fist onto the console. “Man—I hated that guy!”

“Most people did, sir.”

“It was always ‘Vader do this and Vader stop choking the moffs’!”

“He was well known for his condescending nature, my lord.”

“I really, really wanted to choke that guy.”

“Yes, sir. Lord Vader, if I may interrupt for a moment…”

“Yeah, I guess…”

“Sir, there’s a shuttle requesting clearance to Endor. They have the proper clearance codes and claim to be transporting technical parts and crewmembers.”

“Maybe I could get Palps to clone Tarkin, run up a couple copies for my own personal use…”

“Sir?”

“Hmmmm?”

“The shuttle, my lord?”

Vader flexed his hand. “Oh…uh, ask them if they have any middle management officers on board. You know…someone that would not be missed much.”

“Yes, my lord.” Piett leaned toward the comm. console. “Attention Shuttle Tydirium—”

“Wyaaaaaaaarrrrr….”

“I don’t know… fly causal, Keep your distance though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance.”

“Wyaaaaaaarrrrr…”


“Sir, I appear to have been mistake—” Piett looked over at Vader who was clenching and unclenching his fist. “It appears the shuttle is being piloted by rebels.”

Vader stopped pacing. “No Imperial commanders?”

“No, sir.”

“No generals or lieutenants or captains?”

“I’m afraid not, my lord.”

Darth Vader hung his head and sighed wearily. “Why does everything always happen to me?”

“Uh…sir?”

“Yes?”

“The shuttle full of rebels?”

The Sith Lord waved his hand dismissively. “Blast them.”

“Sir, don’t you want to interrogate them?”

Vader tapped the baseboard with the toe of his boot. “Just…blast them. Blast them-blast them-blast them.” He turned and marched away. “I’ll be in my quarters…”

“Yes, sir.”

“Getting my brain fluid suctioned.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“And tell cook to send up a slice of that sponge cake with the little candy cherries I like so much.”

“At once, Lord Vader.” Piett turned back to the console, initiating the targeting sequence, but froze with his finger over the firing indicator. Rubbing his chin, he activated the commlink. “Attention Shuttle Tydirium…before I blast you to pieces, could I interest anyone in a middle management position in the Imperial Navy?”

end

The ENTIRE piece was great - but what an ending! laugh

LOL moment:


“I’ll be in my quarters…”

“Yes, sir.”

“Getting my brain fluid suctioned.”

“Yes, my lord.”


I think we all feel that way some days, don't you?

Brilliant, Jade. You have a singular talent. :-)

Y'know, I'm starting to suspect that Vader was really a Rebel sympathizer since he knocked off most of the Imperial officers himself!

A fantastic viggie, Jade!
