Breaking news from a galaxy far, far away: Darth Vader has opened a pet shop! That's right, the former Dark Lord of the Sith has decided to change careers and become a pet store owner. But, this is not your average pet shop. Oh no, this is a place where the Force is strong with every single one of its creatures.
Located in the heart of the galaxy, Darth Vader's Pet Shop has everything from adorable banthas to vicious wampas. But don't let the cuteness fool you, these pets have been trained in the ways of the Force and can be a handful.
One customer who went to the pet shop to adopt a pet described their experience as "traumatic". Apparently, they thought they were adopting a sweet little kowakian monkey-lizard, but it turned out to be a Force-sensitive creature that could use the Force to manipulate objects. The monkey-lizard ended up destroying the entire living room with its newfound abilities. Definitely not what the customer had in mind, but they have to admit it was pretty funny in hindsight.
The craziest thing about Darth Vader's Pet Shop is that all of the pets come with their own lightsabers. That's right, even the cute little Ewoks have their own tiny lightsabers. But be careful when playing with them, as they are still deadly weapons.
The pet shop also sells a variety of Dark Side merchandise, including t-shirts with slogans like "My Pet is a Sith Lord" and "I Support the Empire" and keychains with miniature Death Stars. The employees even dress up as Stormtroopers, which adds to the overall Star Wars experience.
One thing's for sure, the pet shop has become a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Parents bring their children to see the adorable creatures (and to buy them their own lightsabers, of course) and young adults come to take selfies with the Stormtrooper employees.
So, if you find yourself in the galaxy and need a new Force-sensitive pet (or just want to see a Stormtrooper), head on over to Darth Vader's Pet Shop. You never know what kind of mischief your new pet might get up to. Just be sure to bring your own lightsaber, just in case things get out of hand.
