This was a short scene myself and a friend, Kathryn, wrote for the QMU Drama Society showcase about a year ago. I actually played Vader in the showcase. Anyway, thought I'd put this up, might get a few laughs. Many Star Wars puns.

Palpatine is sitting on his chair and lord Vader comes in and kneels

Palpatine: lord Vader what news have you brought me?

Vader: …

Pal: (intimidatingly) this is most unlike you lord Vader, pray tell what has brought this (pause) silence upon you, (continues before Vader can speak) I hope for your sake it is nothing so small as to trouble the great leader and terror of the empire (looking at Vader) it better not be trivial for your sake.

Vader… my lord an integral part of the death stars system has been compromised

Pal: (leaning back steeples his fingers) this is grave news indeed, what exactly has been compromised?

Vader… my lord one of the facilities regarding the disposal of a certain waste has malfunctioned.

Pal: (angry) lord Vader why do you bring such trivial matters to me, this is not worthy of my time. I am most disappointed in you, I fear I may have to..

Vader: (interrupting) the toilets have backed up my lord.

Pal: (breaking character) oh damn not again, really?

Vader: yes my lord all over the floor

Pal: this is the third time today,

Vader: yes my lord

Pal: how can they be backed up for a third time, we just had them fixed? It's preposterous

Vader: (to himself) not as preposterous as an exhaust port the size of a photon torpedo built into the death star

Pal: what was that you said? Something about photon torpedoes?

Vader: nothing my lord

Pal: my expertise in armaments may be strong but I fear we need an expert in an altogether murkier field

Vader: what kind of expert my lord?

Pal: a master of the vile and nasty creations from the depths of sentinel bodies, we need…. A plumber

Vader: shall I call the regular man my lord?

Pal: force no he was the one who got us here

Vader: shall I find one my lord?

Pal: (noticing lord Vader still on knee) ….you're still on your knees? Rise just rise I can't deal with this at the moment, go get the galactic index

Vader rises stiffly rubbing his knees, Vader goes off stage comes back with yellow pages flicking through

Pal: anyone in the nearby?

Vader: the closest is one called Mario… but his description says will only take mushrooms as credit

Pal: good thing we own a mushroom world

Vader: Kashyyyk?

Pal: yes that planet with the walking doormats

Vader: his number is 330 000012

Pal pulls out old brick phone

Pal: (angry) Darth Plagueis's bane, no reception

Vader: must be your phone my lord it's an old model

Pal: nonsense it the newest one

Vader: 10 decades ago, this in the newest model

Vader pulls out black iphone

Vader: it even has holo net

Pal: (grumbling) you young people and your new gadgets

Vader hand phone to palpatine, palpatine frowns

Pal: blast this new technology it doesn't work (playing with phone)

Vader: what's wrong my lord? You have to press call

Pal: your damn phone needs me to do this insane challenge to get it to work

Vader:…challenge?

Pal; yes it seem like I have to make this bird creature fly through thin gaps..

Vader: that's flappy bird master

Pal: flappy bird, what's that?...it's rather addicting actually… (Frustrated) blast it hit a pipe

Vader: if you please my lord I'll call the plumber

Pal: fine

Hands Vader phone, Vader puts in number, hands phone back

Pal: good

Holds phone to ear and waits

Vader: is it ringing?

Pal: (annoyed) yes of course it is, its…ah he picked up, (speaking menacingly) this is the emperor of the galaxy there is a service I require from…what? (surprised/angry) Inconceivable?!

Vader: what is it my lord?

Pal: he's not in, it's an answering machine…I think…it says he's not there, he's…looking for a princess in a castle?

Vader: if it pleases you my lord, you can leave a message

Pal: no, now that I think of it a plumber chasing princesses with a mushroom obsession is not the one to solve our problem, if anything he will just make a mushroom farm in the mess. It's not worth it

Vader: what shall we do my lord?

Pal: who else is on the list?

Vader: there are a few more but they all seem to work for Mario or marked as 'extortionate'

Pal: the situation is getting worse if we don't find someone to fix this then the whole death star operation will…

Vader: (interrupting) my lord there is one other number

Pal: what does it say?

Vader: it belongs to an organic waste disposal manager

Pal: organic?

Vader: there's nothing else it says, one needs to phone them

Pal: then phone them

Vader puts the number into the phone

Pal: its ringing, wait its?...ah yes..(Menacingly) I am the emperor of the galaxy, I require your services. Your services are stated as organic waste disposal management?...yes...ah that's agreeable…yes that will do very well. I require several…where?...the death star in sector suspicious, in quadrant dangerous coordinates, 42,42,42. Yes?...tomorrow? Excellent. I await it with great anticipation. Ends call

Vader: the situation has been solved?

Pal: yes this man owns a Dianoga farm, they are bred to eat shit and generally deal with your waste so you don't have to.

Vader: once again your resourcefulness has proven to be inspirational…where will they live?

Pal: well after they have dealt with the toilets they can live in the garbage chutes, that way they will save us innumerable hours on waste disposal

Vader: brilliant my lord I see why you're the emperor

Pal: yes indeed

Vader: won't a creature in the garbage chute cause a problem if someone falls in?

Pal: of course not who in the whole galaxy would be mad enough to fall into a garbage chute?
