Back in the day
I was in the forces, logistics corps if you must know. This role not only involved ensuring that supplies got to the right place at the right time but we were also involved in construction as well (this was before the age of contractors).

As I was an officer I was in charge of the rank and file guys and had to make sure that they did the work on time otherwise we'd all be in trouble and as the adage goes - shit rolls downhill.

I eventually was asked to start work on a large project, one of the largest we'd ever actually partaken in and it was quite an honour! Work on the project didn't always go as planned, there were a large number of sick calls and the guys just weren't as motivated, plus the higher echelons had given us really tight time-scales, so as a result we fell behind schedule.

This caused the higher echelons to take notice and send over one of the big cheeses to motivate us. This guy was a big black dude, so he had the nickname Darth Vader.

How did he do this? He told me and the men that 'the emperor is not as forgiving as him'

How did I escape death? I was sacked due to ineptitude and sent to Endor to be captured by the rebels, who treated my quite nicely!

Although I never did find out old Darth's proper name

His name if I'm thinking of the same guy was Findle Boomstackbury.

Of course it fell behind.
Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms.

And
they're not too good at the killing either!

'These shot are too precise to be sand people'

And for the rest of the film they couldn't hit a barn door in a forest made of barn doors in the land of barndooria
