Weird Secret Codes on the Death Star?

It’s Movie Night again and Stormtrooper Bruce has prepared plenty of tasty treats for the guys to enjoy. Clearly STB’s quarters are THE place to be if you’re in need of some R&R at the end of a long week.

 

STB: Guys, didja ever wonder why some people say something “cutesy” instead of just saying what they mean? It’s almost like some weird kind of secret code.

 

TK-432: Um, no offense bro, but I haven’t got the foggiest idea what you’re talking about!

 

TK-1110: Me neither. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree.

 

STB: Great Galaxy, you two are doing it now. For example, why say “It’s not rocket science” or “A miss is as good as a mile” or “Monkey see, monkey do”?

 

TK-432: Oh, I get it. Like saying, “That’s the icing on the cake” or “Easy as pie” or “You want fries with that?”

 

TK-1110: Oh, I get it, too! How about “Don’t look a gift tauntaun in the mouth” or “Close but no cigar” or “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

 

STB: Exactly! Why not just say what you... Oh, sorry sir. Didn’t hear you come in. Care to add your two cents worth since you’re here?

 

Vader: You Troopers are nuttier than last years fruitcake if you think I’m falling for your bag of tricks! Listening to your idiotic mumbo jumbo has fried my memory circuits. I’m outta here, exit stage left!

 

STB: But sir, why did you come here?

 

Vader: Why? If you have you ask, you’ll never know. If you know, you need only ask.

 

TK-432: Whoa! You know about the Room of Requirement?

 

Vader: Unfortunately, yes. The Emperor’s nephew seems to think my quarters are that blasted room, and just shows up unannounced! And whenever I ask him something he replies with that blasted line!

 

STB: Sir, if I may be so bold, if you’ve come looking for sanctuary from little “you know who” for the evening, I totally get it! If you don’t mind slumming, there’s enough grub and brewskies to go around.

 

Vader: Why, thanks! And, um, this will all be kept hush hush?

 

STB: Mum’s the word!
