Radio DJs On The Death Star

Okay I am prepared for the backlash of being called a Star Wars nerd. I am one. I am not one who would go as far as dressing the part but still, a Star Wars nerd.

Before I go any further with this blog I would like to provide you all with the inspiration that made this come together.

Okay, now THAT is nice. Megan Fox is a beautiful woman but that picture right there makes her a goddess.

Where was I? Oh yes. So I decided I would attempt to enter the Star Wars world and imagine what it would have been like to be a radio DJ on the Death Star.

It is obvious they would have had to import radio DJs in from elsewhere because there is no way the average Storm Trooper could pull off a single show. They have horrible aim when they shoot their laser guns. Hell, they could barely even walk.



Talk about a crappy gig. Not only do you have to move to some remote space station in the middle of nowhere, but the majority of your listeners are mindless clones. Now most djs know that no radio job last forever. If they did in fact fire someone, what did they do with them?



Then there is always the fear of saying something wrong, you get choked to death by an invisible hand? The pay would have to be spectacular in order for me to take that job.

Then there is the infamous Rebel Alliance. Imagine you are sitting in your studio minding your own business when a group of left wing militants attack. What do you do? Do you break in the music with a special announcement? Do you continue to play the music as nothing is happening?

I mean seriously? Who has time to listen when most people are scrambling to kill the enemy at hand? Then on top of all that there is a major battle where space fighters are shooting each other and crashing onto the surface of the Death Star. What happens if they knock out the tower that allows you to stay on the air? Do you hop in a ty-fighter and try your luck at shooting people down?

Then just as you are gathering your thoughts the rebel alliance shoots a laser into a exhaust shaft no bigger than 2 meters wide and...



Most of the station is destroyed. And with destruction like that it is almost impossible that a new radio station will be within the rebuilding budget. Man... djs on the Death Star must have had it rough.
