Darth Vader Classified Death Star Documents Case Dismissed

The accusations that popular despot Darth Vader took home classified documents regarding the new Death Star programme have been dismissed by a galactic court.

The Imperial Security Bureau had discovered boxes of documents relating to the Death Star in Lord Vader’s private residence Fortress Vader on Mustafar. They included blueprints for the Death Star’s construction, employee records, and, significantly, documents that contained details of a two metre thermal exhaust port which led directly to its main reactor.

However, with Lord Vader now returning to popularity and expected to take a lead role in what is expected to be a dominant Galactic Empire, the case has come under increasing scrutiny recently.

This scrutiny has now resulted in it being dismissed by an Imperial Judge who, coincidentally, was appointed by Darth Vader several years ago and has since been praised by the Sith Lord as ‘a fine man. A very fine man. One of the best. Really great.’

Although the case was dismissed according to a technical article of Imperial law, there are suggestions that Lord Vader’s likely return to power is leading to officials potentially attempting to gain his favour so they won’t end up frightened by his sorcerer’s ways.

The Rebellion has made no comment on the latest developments in the case, although this is possibly because its leader is currently trying to remember where he lives and what his name is.
