EXEGOL — Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious has delayed Order 66 due to the spreading Covid-19 pandemic. The mass Jedi holocaust, which was scheduled to take place yesterday April 20th, 19 BBY, will be put on hold indefinitely until the galaxy wide pandemic is brought under control.

“The health and safety of our Clone Troopers is more important than the extermination of the Jedi,” Sidious told legions of Sith acolytes on Exegol during a press conference. “With trust in the dark side of the Force, we can hope the Jedi catch the coronavirus and save us time and manpower.”

While some of the Dark Lord’s followers believe he’s making the right choice, others are confused by his actions. One anonymous acolyte told FSW that Sidious must have caught the virus himself and is not thinking straight due to the fact the Clone Troopers are clones and can easily be replaced.

“What are we paying taxes for? To buy clones! If he’s not making more clones then what is he using the tax credits for?”

Before this acolyte was able to share his thoughts, he was struck by a deluge of Sith lightning.

How do you feel about Darth Sidious delaying Order 66? Should he put the Clone Troopers’ lives at risk and exterminate the Jedi or wait until the pandemic passes? Let us know in the comments below or on social media!
