Hear Me Out on the Death Star

It’s been an unusually noneventful week for Stormtrooper Bruce, and in his boredom, STB has come up with an idea he’s going to spring on the guys during Movie Night. And throwing in his Brewskie Buddies will only help his cause.

 

TK-432: Dude, this is all very interesting, watching a bunch of bears eating during a snowstorm, but, except for your Brewskie Buddies, this doesn’t quite live up to my idea of Movie Night. No offense!

 

TK-1110: True that. Granted, watching them knock everything over was unexpected. And they were kinda cute racing off like a bunch of speeder bikes… but … I’m used to real movies on Movie Night. No offense!

 

STB: Guys, you’ve been real champs putting up with this unexpected “break” in our usual routine, but I’ve been watching you watch these video clips, and you have actually laughed out loud, exclaimed in surprise, and jumped in your cushions exclaiming, “Did you just see that!” So now I’d like to present my latest idea. Please hear me out first before….

 

TK-432: Oh no! Not another one of your crazy ideas for pranking Vader, Fett or NuBie.

 

TK-1110: I knew it! I knew you were up to something. You love Movie Night as much as we do, and this, whatever this is, is not Movie Night.

 

STB: Well, so much for hearing me out first. OK, remember that last announcement the P made when we were all assembled the other day? He mentioned a new wing of the Petting Zoo will be opening soon, and he expects everyone, Troopers and Officers alike, to check it out.

 

TK-432: Oh that. Yeah, that one sent shivers down my spine. Mandatory attendance – big surprise.

 

TK-1110: What does that have to do with the price of tea in Endor?

 

STB: Well, I want to propose to the P to provide a live feed of the animal activity going on in his zoo. Upselling how not everyone gets the chance to enjoy the zoo since their duties keep them busy, sending them to other planets, other galaxies. But a live feed will allow them that chance from any location!

 

TK-432: Go on.

 

STB: I’ll show him some of these highlights, explaining how other worlds take great joy in wildlife cams, getting a sneak peek at the things that go on when we aren’t looking. I’ll make it sound so awesome he’ll want to do the same thing!

 

TK-1110: So, what’s in it for you?

 

STB: It’ll be a win win for everyone. The P wins because everyone on the ship will have 24/7 access to what’s going on in his Petting Zoo. And everyone wins because now no one will have to risk life or limb entering that crazy place to pet those creatures who’d rather eat you than be petted.

 

TK-432: Oh, I’m beginning to understand. This has real potential. But what about the talking animals clip you showed us?

 

STB: For his next talent show, I’ll suggest the P offers a prize for the funniest clip of his Petting Zoo’s animals. He’s bound to go for it! Making those beasts look all cute and adorable.

 

TK-1110: Well, you sold me. Now, if you don’t mind, put up your creepy, beastie props, and let’s watch some actual movies while it’s still Movie Night. And some Brewskie Buddy refills wouldn’t hurt either!
