The Empire Strikes Back:
(first title cards)
Title card/crawl: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Title card/crawl: It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy. Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young Skywalker, has dispatched thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of space...
Admiral Piett:"Lord Vader, our ships have completed their scan of the area and found nothing. If the Millennium Falcon went into light-speed, it'll be on the other side of the galaxy by now."
Darth Vader:"Alert all commands. Calculate every possible destination along their last known trajectory."
Admiral Piett:"Yes, my Lord. We'll find them."
Darth Vader:"Don't fail me again, Admiral."
Luke:"There's something not right here... I feel cold. Death."
Yoda:(points to a cave opening beneath a large tree) "That place... is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go."
Luke:"What's in there?"
Yoda:"Only what you take with you."
Darth Vader:"There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. No disintegrations."
Boba Fett:"As you wish."

Get the The Empire Strikes Back mug.Used to express when many people believe something that is not true. Used also to express something as untrue. See also the expression "the Emperor has no clothes".
Based on Sufi wisdom, Hans Christian Andersen tells the tale in his "The Emperor's New Clothes", the story this expression derives from. In it. there existed an emperor who loved wearing fine clothes and spent all of his people's money on them. He had a different set for each hour and was, without doubt, the finest dressed man in the land.
One day, two swindlers claiming to be weavers entered the Emporer's city and proclaimed they were capable of making the finest, lightest, most magnificent cloth the world has ever seen. So extraordinary was this cloth, it was invisible to anyone who was incompetent or stupid.
Hearing of the weaver's amazing "talent", the foolish Emporer thought he could use such cloth to weed out undesirables in his city. He paid the swindlers an enormous sum & they set out to "create" the clothes; knowing they would only need go through the motions.
The Emperor sent several advisors to guage their progress and all the advisors reported the cloth magnificent, not wanting to appear unworthy for seeing nothing at all; the cloth didn't exist!
Finally the clothes were "finished", the swindlers already having counted the gold and jewels they had received. A procession was arranged to show off the Emporer's new clothes and the entire city gathered in the center to view them. Having been "dressed" by the swinglers, who remarked how wonderful he looked, and how light the cloth appeared on him, he appeared before his people.
The people, having heard of the weaver's abilities and the cloth's fictious properties, were amazed and offered thunderous applause to the now beaming Emperor. None of them were willing to admit that they hadn't seen a thing; for if anyone did, then he was either stupid or unfit for the job he held. Never before had the emperor's clothes been such a success.
While expressing admiration at their Emporer's new "invisible" clothes, a small boy cried out... "But the Emperor has no clothes!"

"This entire adventure in Iraq has been based on propaganda and manipulation. Eighty-seven billion dollars is too much to pay for the continuation of a war based on falsehoods. The Emperor has no clothes."

Get the the emperor's new clothes mug.Empty barrel is a term used by older generations (baby boomer and older) that refers to a person who exhibits bluster and puts forth loud uniformed opinions to get attention. {attention-seeker} {loud mouth} {liar} {trouble-maker}

Get the empty barrel mug.People who had sold their time, individuality and soul to an institution that use them like disposable batteries while paying them just enough to survive, not a dollar more.
Their lives can be pretty much summarized in a few lines:
They wake up to the sound of alarm, skip breakfast, commute in unbearable traffic (and for some in shitty weather conditions) while worried about not making it on time and being reprimanded, sit on their desk (the same they had been sitting for years/decades) 8 hours a day while doing some useless repetitive tasks that even a kid with down syndrome can do, respect office politics and smile to people they hate just to abide by the "etiquette". Then they go back home in the same soul-crushing traffic, eat, watch TV, and sleep.
This same routine is EXACTLY followed by them for 5 days a week - for the rest of their lives.
The main reasons they endure this hell are:
- They take zero risk to change their situation and prefer to stay in their comfort zone
- They are brainwashed and believe this is the only way how life should be
- They want to indulge in consumerism and buy useless stuff since they are not free to spend it on useful life experiences. For example they can't travel because the time spent in the plane would be longer than their weekend.
- They got married and have kids to feed and buy iPads for.
- They have a mortgage
PS: most of them are also brown nosers
