Here’s the belated recap of our Star Wars tribute from May the 4th. Enjoy this retelling, and the fantastic photos taken by resident Dungeon Crawl chronicler, Rob Young.

It is a dark time for the Rebellion; the Empire is busily crafting new weapons technology to give them the edge in the civil war. Desperate for information about these weapons, the rebels hire a group of mercenaries: Park Slope, the hipster Twi’lek bounty hunter (Clem Bastow); Oscar the Garbage Droid (Adam McKenzie); Aamer, a Jedi Academy drop-out (Aamer Rahman); and Benjamin Salivaface, a Gamorrean guard with dreams of singing on Tatooine’s Got Talent (Scott Edgar). In the settlement of Mos Def on Tattooine they meet their rebel contact, who gives them a mission to steal the plans of a new Imperial weapon: some kind of armoured, all-terrain attack vehicle, code-named “Death Puppy”.  They travel to the Mercury Lounge cantina, where they find a drunken Imperial officer who is working on the project. As they approach him, he calls in a stormtrooper, but they manage to force him to surrender and the officer gives up his key (a sonic scrwdriver) to the Imperial stronghold where the plans are held.

The team fly in Park Slope’s single-speed starship, the SS Animal Collective, to the planet Thereiam. Rather than be stealthy, they land on the top of the Imperial compound, and soon run into a wookiee slave employed as a security guard. Luckily Park Slope speaks wookiee and persuades him to switch sides. Benjamin sings and distracts the staff at the compound, allowing them all to sneak inside.

The team fall into a garbage compactor and are menaced by a strange one-eyed creature before finding the computer where the plans are held. They are menaced by the Sith Lord Darth Diablo, and manage to convince Aamer to take him on in a duel, though Park Slope’s headtails are blown off during the battle before Diablo is defeated. As they seize the plans, Oscar reveals that he is also a bounty hunter, and plans to kill the others and sell the plans himself. Aamer finally manages to successfully use the force to push Oscar into his own garbage bin. Our surviving heroes return to Tattooine to collect their reward.
