A Starwars Mitosis Story By Skylar DeLemos

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… there lived an evil emperor named Darth Vader. He lived contently in his home, the Death Star, with the Dark Lord of the Sith, and his minions, wreaking havoc and fighting in wars.

But one day, while Vader was admiring the power generator in the center of the death star, the rebel forces appeared and came to disturb his way of life. Soon enough, Darth Vader recognized his foes from a previous encounter. They were Han Solo, Chewbacca, Anakin Skywalker, and Princess Lea. They were trying to destroy the Death Star!

As the enemy approached the home, their ships shot out long tentacles that attached onto each side of the Death Star.

Not too soon after, they started to pull. Darth Vader’s home was being split in half! Including the energy generator in the center!

Luckily, the Sith lord was prepared. He sent fixer drones to make the two halves of the Death Star into two different “daughter death stars”, if you will. As the rebel forces fled, Darth Vader, the Sith Lord, and their minions celebrated their victory.

“Now we have a vacation home!” exclaimed the masked lord with joy. And they lived happily ever after. THE END
