Star Wars Day is over, but let us remember the ones who died for the Empire.

I somehow made it through Saturday without saying "May the Fourth be with you!" to anyone.

but it occurs to me that we should also set aside May the Fifth and May the Sixth in Memory of Fallen "Sith Lords"

The Rebel Alliance gets their holiday, the Empire should have one too.

As for the Evil Empire, I believe they bought up the whole franchise earlier this year (and they don't believe in holidays)

Randal Graves: [talking about the second Death Star] A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers.

Dante Hicks: Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at...

Randal Graves: Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms.

Dante Hicks: All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction?

Randal Graves: All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed - casualties of a war they had nothing to do with.
