QOTD #00069: “What would be your job on the Death Star?”

“This is a phenomenal question because people don't consider the fact that the Death Star is literally planet-size. So, think about the fact that, like, there are just so many people on the Death Star, and it is so unbelievably big. Like, it is- it is hard to understand how big the Death Star is. So, I would like to say my job would be as just any normal stormtrooper, but someone who got to travel to all of the different places because I would just have to know what the system of travel is like in such a- in a planet-sized ship.”

“I feel like on the Death Star my job would be chef 'cuz I'd just be straight cooking it up for all the Death Star employees. They'd know me by name, make the best pizza on Fridays, you know? I'm making soup on Tuesday - five bean soup on the Death Star. They'd love it. They'd know me and, you know, no one can get mad at the chef if you're cooking up all the time. So that's who I'd be on the Death Star. I'd be the chef.”

“This is a complex question because if we're talking about the original Death Star, I probably wouldn't have a job on it because I'm a woman and a woman of color. If we're talking about the later Death Star that's like three times as big as the original Death Star, and I'm talking about The Force Awakens, the Skywalker saga, during that period of time, I would probably be, um, probably just like a- probably just like a stormtrooper if I'm working for them. Just a stormtrooper, probably. Probably just someone who- who, like, you know, goes out and battles people and shoots people. That's it.”

“I feel like if the Death Star needed some sort of PR consultant, I could step into that role. I know that they're in a galaxy far, far away, so I don't know what kind of social media system they have in place there, but you gotta think that their image is clearly not too good, especially from the rebels' point of view. So if they hired me, I think I could help shape their image, turn things around for them.”

“I feel- I feel like for some reason I'd be that guy who's, like, right below Vader in commanding force, and I'd say something that Vader doesn't like, and then he just, like, just - lifts me up into the air to where I just can't breathe. And then I die. Yeah, I- I don't know. I just feel like that- that would happen to me, you know? Like, I really would get choked out by Vader.”

“I'mma say that my job on the Death Star would probably be something around the lines of clothing designer. I have noticed that the clothing designs are pretty outstanding on the Death Star. They look pretty imposing, but they look pretty sharp as well, and I'd just like to be part of the team that keeps our soldiers looking so classy all the time.”

“My job on the death star would be handling paternity tests so I could find out whose father was really whose”

“That's easy. I would be an accountant because we're kinda the most valuable in the- in the Star Wars universe, y'know? Besides Jedi, besides everybody else, who's gonna keep up with all the- the taxes and the liens and all the financial institutions- all the financial situations on the Death Star? You know that costs money, so you're gonna need an accountant. So I'm- I would be an important part to the Death Star.”
