The First Order needs you! A 'Star Wars' recruitment pamphlet.
Don't let all that Resistance propaganda in Star Wars: The Force Awakens fool you. The First Order is still the finest way to see the galaxy.
That's according to Mad Magazine, long a source of great Star Wars parodies. In next week's issue, the usual gang of idiots produced the recruitment leaflet for new trilogy Stormtroopers -- or "fear ambassadors" -- which we excerpt exclusively here.
"Times have changed" since Emperor Palpatine's days, the pamphlet admits, "but we still have the same old need for thousands of troops as cannon fodder."
