That was a good episode. Disturbing. But good.

Bah! Marin County is in NorCal! Invade away!

Southern California is better. and was where most of the OT was made, the SE's were made at the Ranch, in NorCal.

NorCal is just where the invasion is starting. Next on the list is SoCal because that's the home of Hollywood, the evil Empire that corrupted GL so much that he thinks he can just tinker away with the movies and deny the existence of the originals. That's steaming the Empire even more.

And I always thought the empire would start by invading Tokyo... I mean, every monster/alien/civilization invades and destroy Tokyo first...
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

The Empire just thinks that attacking Tokyo is so cliche.

Nope...eastward expansion, baby. It's manifest destiny in reverse.

"And I always thought the empire would start by invading Tokyo... I mean, every monster/alien/civilization invades and destroy Tokyo first..."

Nope. Too much TV. The Empire is scared to death of Godzilla. His flaming breath reminds them of Palp's Force lightning.

Don't forget the Dragon Breath Syndrome. That gets inside Stormtrooper rebreathers and it never escapes. They all die of asphyxiation.

Skyman, awesome pics. The moon was just plain cool. Even Bossk's observation was great. ^_^

BTW, I live in NorCal. The Empire can have the central valley, but Silicon Valley is great. Burn Modesto for all I care......

The Empire is invading the USA!?!

We've got to stop them! They won't take my country while I'm alive!

That armor's too strong for blasters, Warbler.

Let's use our harpoons and tow-cables. GO FOR THE LEGS!

We don't need all that Chaltab...

We've got secret weapons.
1. Cramming Michael Moore into a speedo. The stormtroopers and AT-AT drivers will throw up inside their helmets, obscuring their vision. Then we can strike.
2. We have a german translation of the Funniest joke ever written. If we can safely translate it into Huttese...

simple, if they are invading our country, that means they must be landing space craft here. We will take one over, fly it to the Death Star and fire a torpedo right at its exhaust port and blow it up.

We would have to use a computer controlled torpedo and program it to change direction just at the right moment.

Since it's a forth Death Star(counting that one that gets destroyed a rebuilt over and over again in Anaheim) It may or may not even have an exhust port. What then?

We wait for the reactor heat to suffocate and/or melt the skin off everyone inside.

And hope they don't have blasters.
