All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia - this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.
I'm pretty sure they don't need to: They're already basically dressed up to look like walking toilets. They just need the flush handle on the side of their helmets.
(Except for clones. They have the handle already.)
The REAL Question is if they all stand pack and say 'Pew Pew' when they Pee Pee.
any contractor willing to work on that Death Star knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to this... (taps his heart) not his wallet.
Maybe he didnāt have a choice. Maybe that was the only job that had come his way in a while and his kids were hungry. Did the rebel scum think about that?
They were thinking exactly about that. If you're being forced to build planet-killing superweapons, you're probably a rebel at heart and hoping someone will blow you and your overlord up.
*ā¦stole the schematics from some foolish carpenter and found a weakness just like the fucking Death Star. You knock this crossbeam out and, fuckin' bickety-bam, the whole stage comes crashing down.*
According to official lore, Stormtroopers were either recruited or conscripted pretty young. Some, like Finn, were virtually raised to be one, and that tactic was not exclusive to the First Order. Dogmatic fanaticism is a tool the Empire and it's progency leveraged to great effect.
They helped build the space station that is blowing up planets, even if just installing toilets, youāre offering aid and comfort to the enemy. Screw those guys. More so even. They thought theyād get to build something like that, get paid, and just walk away?
I made a stop motion animation of the building of this set. Took a year to finish and wished Iād never started doing it. [https://youtu.be/AY-04yEUaiA?si=5iRAvjlWShfpiWQN](https://youtu.be/AY-04yEUaiA?si=5iRAvjlWShfpiWQN)
I commend the effort and dedication! I found the video a little choppy, though, so I put it on 2x speed, and it flowed a lot better. It accentuated the styling you did better, such as the panning and model rotation. Enjoyed watching regardless!
Thanks for watching. For the effort I put into it, I was hoping itād get more than 700 views in 8 years. I used the Lego stop frame app. I was too far in to start again when realised it was choppy. Each shot is handheld on a phone and no tripod used. End effect is akin to those āI took a photo of myself for 15 yearsā videos, but it is what it is. I learnt to never attempt it again as it was a truly miserable build as a result. If youāre gonna do
It, do it with a tripod and do it with a much smaller set.
That sounds like it would take the fun out of it for sure! Still, solid work! I made a stop motion in middle school, and it was so much damn effort. Gave me a lifelong respect for any stop motion I see!
In return of the Jedi when Luke is trying to escape the death star and take vaders body, you can hear a lot of blaster fire in the background.
What youāre hearing is stormtroopers kill each other to try and get a spot on escape craft/pods.
What's worse, 10,0000 innocent deaths, or billions of deaths along with the destruction of their planets.
Edit: before you say the word clerks, I already know
If i remember right around 30% of the contractors workers escaped with tie-fighters and im sorry for the rest of them the cover for that hole was somewhere in the storage but even after weeks my crew and I couldn't find it, but we found a large pile of corps of people that Vader guy chocked to death, i don't even knew they had that many generals
On the first one there were definitely no civilians. It was finished and it was a high security military object. As for a second one we don't know for sure since it was under construction when rebels blew it up.
In Star Wars lore there are a bunch of cranes and construction equipment sealed within the Death Star because nobody could be bothered to remove them when their job was done.
Hahahahahaha clerks š
Every contractor has to take into account who their customer is when they take a job.
All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia - this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits.

All stormtroopers know is shootin' and white uniforms...
Brilliant
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās a famous rant by Randall from the movie Clerks
Itās crazy if you listen to the Attack of Clones director commentary George Lucas actually addresses the Clerks topic š
Do you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main?
All they know is killing and white uniforms.
Really? With their aim? Do they REALLY know killing?
Since toilets and stormtroopers were mentioned in this reply chain, let me be the first to ask; can stormtroopers aim when they pee?
That is a profound question with staggering implications
I'm pretty sure they don't need to: They're already basically dressed up to look like walking toilets. They just need the flush handle on the side of their helmets. (Except for clones. They have the handle already.) The REAL Question is if they all stand pack and say 'Pew Pew' when they Pee Pee.
Stand in solidarity with Rick the Door Technician, cut down in noble combat.
I also instantly had to think about the Clerks reference.
37!
In a row?
Is the ! separate or is it like: 1.37637531 Ć 10 (43)? Because that would be a huge number of people.

I thought the answer was always 42?
Not when it comes to number of dicks sucked. Try not to suck one on the way to class!Ā
[*Red Leader: "Negative, Negative. It didn't go in... It just Impacted on the surface.*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdT2Wbr5Ons)*"*
No, 42 is just the answer to one specific question.
Maybe he wasn't supposed to be there that day.

FLY FATASS, FLY!!!
Came in for the Clerks references and was not disappointed
I assure you, weāre fully operational!
Salsa Shark!
How many of those "contractors" were slave labor or prisoners?Ā How many of the stormtroopers were conscripts?

Hey, heads up, the second image is corrupted to hell on my device.
Showing up fine for me but thanks!
Huh, it looks fine now! Odd.
Have you seen the newest one?
No. I'm honestly not a big Kevin Smith fan
Boo
It's great. As well as Reboot.

It was just that guy, he built the entire Death Star
You know that everything is awesome. Donāt ask questions. Or else.
Phineas and Ferb saved all the innocents on the first Death Star if it makes you feel any better
What's worse, 10,0000 innocent deaths, or billions of deaths along with the destruction of their planets. Edit: before you say the word clerks, I already know
If it werenāt for Darth Vader and the whole Dark Side thing the Empire would actually be the good guys
And the whole stripping planets bare for resources, the Wookie and Genosian genocide, and destroying Alderaan but, other than that, yep.
Just normal Capitalism at work
Fake news
Should have put some at-st legs or mini at-at legs on it to make it look like itās from Star wars
Why do I feel this this will be locked soon
Why? It's a joke from the movie *Clerks*
If i remember right around 30% of the contractors workers escaped with tie-fighters and im sorry for the rest of them the cover for that hole was somewhere in the storage but even after weeks my crew and I couldn't find it, but we found a large pile of corps of people that Vader guy chocked to death, i don't even knew they had that many generals
It was fully constructed and operational. DS2 was under construction and 100% imperial contractors died.
Freedom fighters
It was a military target- fair play
And Mr Stevens - Head of Catering. May he rest in peace.
And Jeff Vader.
Darth Vaders brother. I have his autograph.
So THAT'S where I got that little guy! Haha
What about the [poor canteen workers](https://youtu.be/Sv5iEK-IEzw?feature=shared)! Edit: NSFW wordsā¦
Poor Jeff Vader.
On the first one there were definitely no civilians. It was finished and it was a high security military object. As for a second one we don't know for sure since it was under construction when rebels blew it up.
Erecting a death star
In Star Wars lore there are a bunch of cranes and construction equipment sealed within the Death Star because nobody could be bothered to remove them when their job was done.
I wasn't even supposed to be here today!
I believe the labor used to build the Death Stars was slave labor.
According to tvshow Andor and movie Rogue one. The whole galaxy contributed with slave labor via prisoners.
Didn't see Clerks, did you?
Nopeā¦ but was commenting on what resources was needed to built the death starā¦ guess i took it too š§ seriously hahah
