Storm Troopers Take Tokyo

No longer content to dominate feeble galaxies populated with Ewoks, Wookies and Tusken Raiders, an advance detachment of Storm Troopers accompanied Darth Vader to a local electronics shop here in Tokyo tonight. Our new overlords soon provoked a counter-attack from local Rebels after taking an unarmed Japanese woman (see below). Equipped only with Keitai Blasters, Rebel forces set their guns to stun, as it wasn't certain whether or not the Empire had dispatched any Star Cruisers within striking distance. We were able to capture this footage, and left before the fighting escalated, so what happened to the woman is anybody's guess.



The "official" word from the Imperial News Service denied reports of an upcoming invasion and insisted that the unannounced appearance was only a publicity stunt for Darth to promote his new movie. Imperial News also reported that the woman was a well known smuggler of pirated DVDs. Local accounts differ, however, and as always, everyone here is taking the Empire's "official" report with a grain of salt.
