Darth Vader Runs for Office

Spurred on by a Wordpress blog prompt of the day, John and Matt discuss what it would look like if Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) suddenly announced he was stepping down and nominating Darth Vader to run in a special election to let the people decide who the next Emperor should be. They discuss: - Best time period for the situation to be set - WHO would RUN AGAINST VADER? [The answer may surprise you!] - How would anyone trust the vote results - Could this manage to be an in-canon series [or book] to expand on the idea? All this and more in the latest from your favorite Jedi Masters on The Nerd Party.
