Scientists Scramble as Death Star Approaches

With the Galactic Empire’s Death Star looming ever closer to Earth, many scientists are scrambling in preparation for what many are calling “the beginning of the end”.

Others, including Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, have slightly different concerns

“I’m not concerned with the possibility of complete annihilation. What I’m concerned with, as should every other God-fearing American, is whether same-sex marriages are being performed in the Death Star”, Perry stated in a press conference Monday.

When asked for his thoughts on the possible implications of the Death Star’s approach, Senator McCain (R-Ariz) stated, “Obviously, the Death Star is rarely a welcome sight in any solar system, but we mustn’t be too quick to assume the worst. They could just be passing through.”

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, however, believes that anyone harmed as a result of the approaching space station have only themselves to blame. When speaking with reporters early Monday morning, Cain was quoted as saying, “If you get blown up by the Death Star, blame yourself.’

Scientists have considered various options in the likelihood of an attack, including launching nuclear warheads, aimed at an exhaust vent along the perimeter of the space station.

“We had considered blowing it up, but the chances of hitting it in just the right spot are minimal at best”, said one scientist, adding that the size of vent is a mere two meters wide, or 'roughly the size of a womp rat”.
