Position Available Immediately: Apprentice Sith Lord, Dark Side
Consulting Group.

An unexpected position has opened up in the Dark Side Consulting
Group for an Apprentice Sith Lord. The ideal candidate for this
position would like galactic travel and possess a complete
understanding of, and competence with the Force, or demonstrate a
willingness to learn.

Duties include: Performing competitive intelligence, hands-on
intervention in support of the Sith Master's planning initiatives,
ability to travel the galaxy widely, and operating a variety of
laser-powered hand weapons and high-powered space/air vehicles. Some
slaying of enemies of the Dark Side is also required, which may be
performed using the Force or hand weapons.

Qualified applicants would possess good communications skills
(especially when speaking in menacing whispers), and would be
action-oriented individuals and risk takers. A background in study
of the Force (light side or dark) is desirable, as would typically be
acquired by those with advanced degrees or significant course work in
Jedi Arts from the University of Coruscant.

Applicants should also be familiar with holographic projection
equipment, possess a valid galactic pilot's license (for all classes
of ships), and must show a willingness to give in to their hate. A
proven track record of using fear and/or Jedi mind tricks to control
others is also desirable, as is the ability to speak several galactic
languages. Ideal candidates for this position would also have no
children or other living relatives who are strong in the ways of the
Force. (A new hire would be given several weeks to meet this
requirement.)

Compensation for this position is commensurate with experience, and
is extremely competitive for this field. Benefits include a generous
severance package, a company starship, and a dark-colored clothing
allowance. The Apprentice Sith Lord reports to and works closely with
the Sith Master, and experience in such small, team-based
organizations is vital to the success of the master's plans.
Discretion is also highly valued, as is the ability to see the future
before it happens. Applications will be accepted until the end of
July. Transmit them to jobs@darkside.com.

You always wondered what the Emperor looked like under the robe and wrinkles ---- yep its Bill Gates ---- actually thats probably why the Tie Fighters were so easy to kill - their operating systems kept crashing ---
"I have you now!...oh bugger ANOTHER fatal exception error"

I am, however, rather concerned about where PaulB got this ad -- move in these circles do we PaulB ???

Were it not for the fact that I've never seen him before in my life I'd say that "I could just see him with a red lightsabre" However I havent; ever seen him so I can;t say that.

Instead I'll say - I think the Dark side have been at my PC and b0rked everything. Which is far more fact based.

(Come to think of it - Bill Gates with a lightsabre - that's a possibility)

Bill gates with a lightsabre ?
Only problem is that Luke and co could have got in duffed him up and been out of there whilst Gates' lightsabre was booting up and then asking him if he was sure he wasnted to delete the rebels

Old posts???

Oh yeah - wh00ps

You're right about the lightsabre though - assuming it did manage to load up it would presumably crash again at the most critical moment...

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, Star Wars Episode 1 Merchandising would be it.

The long term profits from buying Star Wars merchandising have been consistently stated by collectors, who's "Wookie with bowcaster still in its original box" is now worth enough to put all their kids through college, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your Death Star. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your Death Star until its been blown up, twice.
But trust me, as you tumble down the shaft towards the main reactor you'll look back and realize that putting a lid on that exhaust port would have solved this whole problem in the first place.

You are not a Jedi yet, young Skywalker.

Dont worry about the fact that young Anakin and Queen Amidala are supposed to do-it in the next film. Or worry, but know that worrying is about as
effective as the world and his dog telling Lucas the Jar Jar sucks.
The real troubles in the next film are likely to be plot and casting choices that you'd have never made yourself in a drunken fit

Go and see the film once a day until it bores you.

Sing along with the theme tune

Quit moaning about how certain aliens sound like Japanese or Jamaicans
Dont put up with people who can't quit moaning about it.

Do or do not, there is no try.

Don't waste your time betting on Sebulba.
Sometimes Anakin was ahead and sometimes he was behind.
The race was long, but you knew, in the end, he had to win it.

Keep the good bits of the films and edit out the mindless dross.
If you succeed in doing this, please send me a copy.

Keep your old film posters. Throw away your old cinema tickets

Trust in the force.

Dont feel guilty if you dont know when you're going to grow up and get a life.
The most interesting people I know were having lightsaber battles with their friends at 22.
And at age 50, George Lucas owns half of California.

If you're a stormtrooper, get plenty of your mates before trying ANYTHING!

Learn to speak over 3000 languages yourself and shoot your protocol droid.
Believe me, you won't miss it when it's gone.

Maybe you'll finish what you've begun, maybe you wont
Maybe you'll become a Jedi, maybe you wont.
Maybe you'll reach your 800th birthday, but look this good you will not.
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself too harshly.
Your choices are half guided by the force and so are everybody elses.

Enjoy the force. Stretch out with your feelings. Dont be afraid of what some burnt out old smuggler who can do the Kessle run in under 3 parsecs might think of you. He's just jealous.

Dance, even if you have nowhere else to do it than at the end of a long chain in Jabba's palace

Ignore the person who has a bad feeling about this, everybody else does.

Dont ever read the reviews in film magazines. They'll only tell you what some bitter old has-been film critic thought.

Get to know your family. Or run the risk that the girl you're trying to score and your arch enemy will turn out to be your sister and your father.

Be nice to wookies. They're seven feet tall, bad tempered and you never know when they might rip off your arms and beat you to death with the wet bit.

Understand that blockbusters come and go, but with a precious few flics you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps of credibility and consistency, because the older you get, the more youre going to think that everything they release these days is crap

Live on Alderan once, but leave before it gets blown to smithereens
Live on Tatooine once, but leave before you become a moisture farmer.

Drool at the special effects.

Accept certain inalienable truths :
Plots will have inconsistencies
Special effects will take priority over script
And the comic sidekick will annoy the hell out of you.
And when he does, you will fantasize that when you were young,
Plots were always consistent,
The scripts were so sharp you could cut yourself
And the comic sidekicks were NEVER as bad as Jar Jar.

Worship Bobba Fett.

Dont expect to beat the rebel alliance.
Maybe you'll have 20 of your best legions on the surface Endor moon.
Maybe you'll have the entire star fleet and a frikin Death Star in orbit around it.
But you never know when 200 furry muppets and a fleet of space gypsies are going to blow you all to hell.

Don't mess with Obi-Wan Kenobi, or by the time your 40, you'll sound like someone who breaths with the aid of a dustbuster.

Be careful which films you buy the directors cut of, but be patient with the directors that supply them.
Releasing a directors cut, wide-screen, remastered edition is a form of rip-off.
Dispensing it is a way of taking the same move, adding in 30 seconds of extra footage and selling it to the same bunch of spineless zombies that bought the last 5 editions.

But trust me on the merchandising.
