In honor or Star Wars day, we bring you a pitch as relevant today as it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
The Galactic Empire has been defeated, replaced by the New Republic. But the hard fought victory could be short lived, as a new threat emerges that could tear the fragile allegiance apart. In the wake of victory, R2D2 is accused of accessing data ports without their permission. These allegations force his friends and colleagues to ask themselves hard questions about his past behavior. Will a sexual assault scandal topple the New Republic before it can rise? Lines are drawn and friendships will be tested. Can a bad robot still accomplish good in the universe? Perhaps, but it will depend on if the legal defense of “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for” holds up.
