The commanding officer of the first Death Star has a laser pointer. He’s willing to trade it to you. What would you offer to the Death Star Commander?
Now, let’s add another layer to this. Let’s say you are an ewok. And you really want the Death Star Commander’s laser pointer. What would you trade to get his laser pointer? Right now this is happening in real life on twitter.
I’m tweet as Ewok Lumat (the woodsmith of the ewok community). Wilhuff Tarkin (aka “The_Managment” on twitter) has been talking all about his super cool laser pointer. Now me as an ewok is extremely intrigued by this laser pointer.
Five reasons why an ewok would want the Death Star commander’s laser pointer:
1) Ewoks, like cats, go crazy for laser pointers
2) The Death Star does hang out by the moon where the ewoks live
3) Seeing that the Death Star is essentially one really big laser pointer, it would be really cool to have the commander’s laser pointer.
4) An ewok could pretend he is blowing up planets with the laser pointer
5) An ewok could build some McGyver-like contraption with mirrors and stuff to magnify the laser pointer’s power and destroy the Death Star
Now, please answer in the comments the following question: If you were an ewok, what would you offer as a trade to get the Death Star commander’s laser pointer?
I’d turn it into a threat. Here’s what I’d say: I want your laser point, Death Star commander. I’ll trade you Darth Vader’s head for it. Now move your giant honking Death Star away from Endor or else!
Ok, seriously. Here’s what I would say: I trade you fresh batch of Endor chewy fudge chunk brownies for laser pointer. They moist. They delicious.
Good ideas, moose! I’ll use the brownies line first. If he refuses, then I will use the darth vader’s head line.
The brownie trade request is tweeted at: http://twitter.com/EwokLumat/status/20817497593 Now we wait for Wilhuff Tarkin’s response.
