Episode IV: A New Pope
Text against a background of Stars:
A Short Time Ago, In a Galaxy not very far away

Opening Crawl:
It was a dark time for the Galaxy
The scattered and divided remnants
of the fourth workers republic were being
Satirised by the dark forces of Windymedia.

In thrall by a mysterious force called Darth Papious
Who even from beyond the grave could muster great forces
To the cause of telling big whopping fibs about his eventful life. read full story / add a comment
