Billionaire Elon Musk has said The Galactic Empire needs a new leader as Emperor Palpatine ‘doesn’t have what it takes’.

Mr Musk, who is rumoured to be lining up a 100 million credit donation to the Galactic Empire, made the comments after Palpatine distanced himself from calls to free bounty hunter Boba Fett from prison.

“Palpatine is holding back the Empire,” Musk told us. “Boba Fett is an ally and should be released from incarceration immediately. 

“I thought we were on the same page, but this past week has shown me that Palpatine just isn’t cut out for the job.

“If it wasn’t for Palpatine I think the first Death Star would still be operational. That’s how much of a terrible job he’s doing. Who gives the go ahead to put a tiny opening into the design that could destroy an entire space station? What a moron.

“Luckily, my Department of Galactic Efficiency will be up and running soon enough.”

Tensions between Musk and Palpatine have been rising ever since the Tesla CEO posted ‘Free Boba Fett’ on Twitter.

“Boba Fett is not what we need right now,” insisted Emperor Palpatine. “I’ve got a great idea. If he loves Boba Fett why doesn’t he marry him?”
