Planet with double sunset is full of bad dialogue
A PLANET with two suns is likely to be filled with poor quality dialogue, astronomers have claimed.
Nasa believes some form of teenage boy stares at it wistfully
The planet named Kepler 16b is about 200 million light years from Earth in a galaxy far, far away.
Astronomer Stephen Malley said: “It will be a windswept desert of a place with one really horrible pub and will probably be governed by someone who is much more interested in special effects.
“Much of the indigenous dialogue will be rather stilted and cliched, almost as if it doesn’t really matter because that’s not why the planet exists.”
Meanwhile, Lucasfilm has announced plans to sue Kepler 16b, insisting it had the idea for a double sunset shortly before the distant planet was created around nine billion years ago.
A spokesman said: “We copyrighted double sunsets a long time ago. It was around the same time as we copyrighted the phrase ‘a long time ago’.
“So even if this planet was created before we copyrighted double sunsets, they will still have to compensate us for coming into a existence a long time ago.”
Malley added: “Within the same star system we have also detected an ice planet which is actually a lot better, a forest moon which is just awful and three gas giants that are incredibly difficult to follow.”
