An Employee Is Summoned to His Boss's Office


As imagined by Jeremy Nilson and me.


Dave, can you step into my office for a minute? Close the door behind you. Thanks.

We need to address this "Hoth problem". You've been participating in our fun little intra-office Star Wars trivia game for some time. But your answer to Thursday's question, "What is Hoth covered with?", was beyond the pale. 

You said "lava and rocks". 

Lava. And rocks.

I know what you're going to say, and as much as I'd like to accept that confusing Hoth with some bullshit planet from the prequels is an honest mistake, you and I know that this isn't an isolated incident.

I don't need to bring up the time you said you were doing a "Darth Mader" impression, both alarming and confusing the other employees.

We should have been suspicious when you dressed as Jar Jar for Halloween, but we turned a blind eye, to our regret.

And please, for the love of God, stop saying "your father I am" in a Yoda voice. Yoda didn't say that, and the fact that you stand on that hill to die should have tipped us off to all of this months ago.

We've decided that we're going in a different direction than a "lava and rocks Hoth" worldview that you seem to believe in. Please clean out your desk and your Nute Gunray cardboard cutout.
