Imperial Matters

Imperial Matters was a short lived sitcom created by Joe Sawyer and David Stockdale. The premise of the show revolved around the exploits of a motley crew of space pirates, whose ship had been critically damaged, leaving them stranded on the Outer Rim. Among the crew were Darth Vader, Nigga Tom, Nigga Jerr-ie, and Jango Fett. Guest stars included storm trooper 13028 and a one-handed Luke Skywalker. During the 9th episode read through, writer Joe Sawyer walked off the set, throwing piping hot coffee in the director's face, after a heavily disputed plotline which involved killing off several main characters (including Nigga Tom) to improve ratings. The series was not picked up for a second season.
