. "If you will not be turned... you will be destroyed!" ―Emperor Benedict to a Protestant crowd. Pope Benedict XVI (Also known as: Emperor Palpatine and Darth Sidious) is the hansome head of the Roman Catholic Church, former and last Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and former emperor and founder of the Galactic Empire. After the fall of the Galactic Empire he was chosen by a grateful God and the Blessed Virgin Mary to replace Pope John Paul II, who had been defeated in a lightsaber duel against the Great Jedi Master In the Sky. He is the first pope to have his own internets tube.
