Scene: Jenkins, a product manager at Disney, reports to his Boss about Disney’s new licensed Star Wars masks for COVID-19…
Jenkins: “Hey boss! We’ve got those Star Wars face masks for sale on the website.”
Boss: “Great! People need to be wearing masks, and we have some iconic masked characters: Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Kylo Ren, The Mandalorian…”
Jenkins: “Um…”
Boss: “What?”
Jenkins: “It’s just, um. Those are all excellent suggestions, sir. It’s just that… We didn’t make those.”
Boss: “Oh. Huh. Well… Ok. Decided to do with Storm Troopers then?”
Jenkins: “Oh… Storm Troopers… Yeah that would have been a good one…”
Boss: “…”
Jenkins: “…”
Boss: “So what did you…”
Jenkins: “We’ve got an R2D2…”
Boss: “Oh, the gold droid who talks a lot? I lov—”
Jenkins: “Um, no sir, that’s C3PO… He’d be a good one, though, I’ll write that down. We did the other one.”
Boss: “You did a mask of a droid… but not the one whose head is shaped like… a head?”
Jenkins: “Yes sir… We have some others.”
Boss: “Show me…”
Jenkins: “This one features the 1977 cast…”
Boss: “1977… Jenkins, you do know we’ve made a few more of these movies since then, right?”
Jenkins: “But this is iconic artwork, sir…”
Boss: “Why does Leia look like she’s one of Luke’s legs? And… is she wearing a turtleneck? And a tiara for a belt?”
Jenkins: “Sir, you mentioned our newer properties, I think you’ll really like this one, it has iconic symbols from the new movies.”
Boss: “Not those stupid dice, I hope…”
Jenkins: “No, sir, we’ve gotten rid of those, as you asked. Look here.”
Boss: “What are these?”
Jenkins: “Those are symbols of the rebellion.”
Boss: “That one looks like the adapter I used to have to use for my 45 RPM albums.”
Jenkins: “Sir?”
Boss: “Nevermind. Who is the guy with the tusks?”
Jenkins: “You know, sir, that’s… um… Darth… Tuskus…”
Boss: “Where are the X-Wings?”
Jenkins: “Oh, um…”
Boss: “You said iconic symbols. I don’t see an X-Wing, or a TIE Fighter, or even a lightsaber. Those are pretty important symbols of Star Wars, right? How about the Millenium Falcon?”
Jenkins: “You’re going to love this last one. It’s ‘The Child’…”
Boss: “Who?”
Jenkins: “‘The Child’? From ‘The Mandalorian’?”
Boss: “You mean ‘Baba Yoda’?”
Jenkins: “Actu— Yes. Baby Yoda, sir. You’re going to love this one.”
Boss: “Jenkins. Did you cut off Baby Yoda’s ears?”
Jenkins: “No no no. See, of you hold the elastics out like this, see how it kind of looks like the shape of ears?”
Boss: “When people wear this mask, are those elastics going to stick out like that?”
Jenkins: “Um. No?”
Boss: “No, they’re not. So it’s just going to look like they’re wearing a mask with Baby Yoda’s ears cut off.”
Jenkins: “I…”
Boss: “Get out.”
Jenkins: “Yes, sir. I’ll bring your ideas to the team.”
Boss: (pushing button under desk) “I don’t mean out of my office. I mean out of the building. These men will show you the way. We’ll send your last check to you.”
