:29:00
- Empire.
- Blasphemy.
:29:02
Empire had the better ending.
:29:05
I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off,
finds out Vader's his father.
:29:09
Han gets frozen, taken away by
Boba Fett. it ends on such a down note.
:29:12
I mean, that's what life is:
a series of down endings.
:29:16
All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets.
:29:19
There was something else
going on in Jedi.
I never noticed it 'til today.
:29:22
- They build another Death Star, right ?
- Yeah.
:29:24
The first one
was completed and fully operational
before the rebels destroyed it.
:29:27
Luke blew it up.
Give credit where credit's due.
:29:30
- The second one was still
being built when they blew it up.
- Compliments of Lando Calrissian.
:29:34
Something just never sat right with me
that second time around.
:29:36
I could never put my finger on it,
but something just wasn't right.
:29:39
- And you figured it out.
- The first Death Star
was manned by the lmperial Army.
:29:43
The only people on board were Storm
Troopers, dignitaries, lmperialists.
:29:47
- Basically.
- So when they blew it up, no problem.
Evil's punished.
:29:51
- And the second time around ?
- it wasn't even done being built yet.
:29:54
- it was still under construction.
- So ?
:29:57
A construction job
of that magnitude would require...
:29:59
a lot more manpower
than the lmperial Army had to offer.
:30:02
I'll bet they brought independent
contractors in on that thing.
:30:05
- Plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers--
- Not just lmperialists.
:30:08
- Is that what you're getting at ?
- Exactly.
:30:10
To get it built quickly and quietly,
they'd hire anybody
that could do the job.
:30:13
You think the average Storm Trooper
knows how to install a toilet main ?
:30:16
- All they know is killing.
- So they bring in
independent contractors.
:30:21
- Why are you so upset ?
- Those innocent contractors
brought in are killed,
:30:26
casualties of a war
they had nothing to do with.
:30:28
Look, you're a roofer. Some juicy
government contract comes your way.
:30:33
You got a wife and kids,
the two-story in suburbia.
:30:36
This is a government contract
which means all sorts of benefits.
:30:39
Along come these left-wing militants
who blast everything...
:30:41
within a three-mile radius
with their lasers.
:30:43
You didn't ask for that;
you had no personal politics.
:30:46
- You're just trying
to scrape out a living.
- l don't mean to interrupt,
:30:49
- but what are you talking about ?
- The ending of Return Of The Jedi.
:30:52
My friend is trying to convince me
that independent contractors
working on the Death Star...
:30:57
were innocent victims
when it was destroyed by the rebels.
:30:59
I'm a contractor myself.
I'm a roofer.
