Stormtrooper sketch - Mercorabilia

(Meant to post this yesterday but twas my birthday so got a bit distracted)
It's Star Wars Day! (Well, it was) So I thought I'd post this recent creation. It's inspired by the brilliant Mitchell & Webb Nazis sketch (more commonly referred to as the 'Are We The Baddies?' sketch). Basically I figured that this was a conversation that 2 of Darth Vader's Stormtroopers could easily have - if you changed a few words around...

Stormtrooper #1: Very well. They’re coming. Now we’ll see how these Rebels deal with a crack Imperial division.
Stormtrooper #2: Er, Dave.

Stormtrooper #1: Have courage, my friend.

Stormtrooper #2: Yeah. Er, Dave, I’ve just noticed something.

Stormtrooper #1: These rebels are all cowards.

Stormtrooper #2: Have you thought about our ship recently?

Stormtrooper #1: Our ship?

Stormtrooper #2: The name of our ship. Have you thought about it?

Stormtrooper #1: What? No. A bit.

Stormtrooper #2: It’s called the Death Star. Have you noticed that our ship has actually got the word Death in its title?

Stormtrooper #1: I – I don’t, er…

Stormtrooper #2: Dave, are we the baddies?

Stormtrooper #1: No…. I shouldn’t have thought so… I mean…

Stormtrooper #2: Why Death though?

Stormtrooper #1: What?

Stormtrooper #2: Why Death?

Stormtrooper #1: Well, maybe it’s the death of our enemies.

Stormtrooper #2: Maybe. But is that how it comes across? I mean, it doesn’t say next to the name, you know, yeah - it says Death but it’s our enemies not ours.

Stormtrooper #1: Well, no, but…

Stormtrooper #2: I mean, what does Death make you think of? Pain, misery, suffering, er, graveyards?

Stormtrooper #1: Graveyards are peaceful!

Stormtrooper #2: But they’re not exactly good, are they? Peaceful or not graveyards are still not where you want to be. I just can’t think of anything good about being in a ship called Death.

Stormtrooper #1: What about the Star bit?

Stormtrooper #2: Even that is usually a lot better when it doesn’t have Death in front of it. Whereas the rebels…

Stormtrooper #1: Oh you haven’t been listening to Rebel propaganda. Of course they’re going to say we’re the bad guys.

Stormtrooper #2: But they didn’t get to design our flagship. I mean their ships have all, you know, quite nice names – millennium, falcon, starfighter…

Stormtrooper #1: What’s so good about a starfighter?

Stormtrooper #2: Well, nothing. But it’s not particularly brilliant if you happen to be on board a ship called a Death STAR.

Stormtrooper #1: Good point.

Stormtrooper #2: But you’ve got to say it’s better than Death. I mean, I really can’t think of anything worse as a name than Death.

Stormtrooper #1: How about Hell?

Stormtrooper #2: Yeah. And if we were fighting an army flying in a ship called The Hell Pit I’d probably be a lot less worried, Dave.

Stormtrooper #1: Ok. So…
