OT:
Lord Vader has announced the death of Obi Wan Kenobi.

In a late-night appearance in the East Room of the Imperial Palace, Lord Vader declared that “justice has been done” as he disclosed that agents of the Imperial Army and stormtroopers of the 501st Legion had finally cornered Kenobi, one of the leaders of the Jedi rebellion, who had eluded the Empire for nearly two decades. Imperial officials said Kenobi resisted and was cut down by Lord Vader’s own lightsaber. He was later dumped out of an airlock.

The news touched off an extraordinary outpouring of emotion as crowds gathered in the Senate District and outside the Imperial Palace, waving imperial flags, cheering, shouting, laughing and chanting, “Hail to the Emperor! Hail Lord Vader!” In the alien protection zone, crowds sang “The Ten Thousand Year Empire.” Throughout the Sah’c district, airspeeder drivers honked horns deep into the night.

Dumped out an airlock? That sounds like Vader took a page out of President Roslin’s playbook.

Conspiracy theorists quickly suggested that video showing a confrontation where Kenobi was willingly sacrificing himself when he was struck by Vader was the real deal and that Vader has created a whole paradigm shift to elicit support for the Empire. One such theorist - who goes by the name Kevin Smith, suggested that a crazy dude named George Lucas uncovered the original video, but later had to go back and made repeated changes to the video at the behest of others (perhaps against his will). Either that, or he became infected with some parasite that controlled his abilities.
