Vader’s List

So, there I was thinking about stormtroopers. I don’t really know why, but it’s something that happens with alarming frequency. I wondered how well they see out of the helmets. I wondered how they go the bathroom. I wondered if there were any female stormtroopers. And then, I wondered, where do stormtroopers go to get a date?

The answer, of course, is Vader’s List. It was originally named Kar’s List, but Vader force-choked him and took it over. Through painstaking research, I have managed to recreate Vader’s List from the Death Star for your reading pleasure.

Hi, I’m looking for a date to Wednesday’s Barn Dance/Public Execution. I’m into ineffective armor, bulky helmets, poor marksmanship, and Hummel figurines. Let’s square dance into each other’s hearts!

Are there any even women stationed here? Hello? Anyone?

God, I am so lonely! I don’t care if you have tentacles, suckers, mucous-filled sacs, or vestigial wings, just call me!

I’m up for anything. I can blow open a hatch and ‘commandeer’ your ship. I can ‘detain’ you for having stolen droids. We can even have an ‘interrogation’ in the detention block. Come be my Bothan Spy! No wookies.

Me, escorting a Rebel Pilot into Detention Block T188. You, removing a body with a turbo-lift. We brushed each other, our armor clacking, was I the only one who saw the sparks? I can’t stop thinking about you. The way you manned those controls, the way you pushed the arm back under the sheet, I was mesmerized the whole time! Call me!

Tomorrow: For Sale: Used Blaster

Cheers,
Jason

Hello, This is the fist time I post here. Exciting :D
Well, what I was going to tell you was that if you've seen StarWars episode 2, you should konw that all stormtroopers are clones of Jengo Phett (is that the right spelling?), and therefore there can be no female stormtroopers.
Cheers

True, the original Stormtroopers were all clones. However, "George Lucas himself, as cited in a question and answer article of Star Wars Insider in 2005, stated that not all Stormtroopers are clones as a result of volunteers and conscription."

So, I assume there would be a mix by the time Episode IV occured.

Even so, I imagine that Stormtroopers get very, very lonely :)

Thanks for the comment :)
